Alfred Hitchcock - the rest
 
These are my favorite Hitchcock films not mentioned in the top 100 (probably had to limit the amount of Hitchcock films in the countdown in order to include other films that desperately needed recognition):

The 39 Steps (1935)
The Lady Vanishes (1938)
North By Northwest (1959)
Rear Window (1954)
Strangers On A Train (1951)
Notorious (1946)
Dial M For Murder (1954)
Rebecca (1940)
Suspicion (1941)
The Trouble With Harry (1955)
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)

Very obvious and boring I know, but I wanted to post something in the classics.

P.S. Not Hitchcock, but have to mention Les Diaboliques (1955). A must-see.

Cool.. my all-time fave genre director. (#2 in absolute faves behind Akira Kurosawa)

Good to see others appreciate his work too. :)

I'm a big Hitchcock fan but he will always be remembered for Psyco, did anyone spot the Hitchcock homage in Psyco II a great job by Tom Holland

I love throwing out quotes from Stranger on a Train during conversations, but no one ever catches on.

I watched my first Akira Kurosawa film about a month ago: Rashomon. Brilliant film, way ahead of its time. What film should I try next V?

There was a time I used to play a game called "Hitchcockian Twist" with my friends that was about to develop a plot all together & comes with a Hitchcockian twist at the end! It was simply great fun! Anyway, an awesome film maker of all time who played a great role to my undying love for the thriller & suspense genre. Psycho will always remain in the no.1 spot in my favorite Hundred Horror Films of all time & The Birds also hold a very good spot on the list. Besides this 2 landmarks of Hitchcock I also love the followings...

Rear Window (1954)
The Lady Vanishes (1938)...the twist at the end just blown me away!:D
Dial M For Murder (1954)
Spellbound
Vertigo
Strangers On A Train (1951)
Rebecca (1940)
Notorious (1946)
Shadow of a Doubt
The 39 Steps (1935)
North By Northwest (1959)
To catch a thief

I have almost all of his films in my collection but still haven't watch the followings:o...
Suspicion (1941)
The Trouble With Harry (1955)
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)

Pretty hard to top Rashomon. The best Kurosawa film ever, IMO.

All of the ones he did with Mifune are masterpieces - Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Red Beard, Throne of Blood, High and Low, etc...you can't go wrong with any of them.

Essential Kurosawa watching - Seven Samurai, Ran, Ikiru, Kagemusha. Do yourself a favor and get this box set if you can...

Contains 25 of the best masterpieces in the history of cinema ever made. :)

Trouble with Harry is one of my favorites. It's a fun, frequently overlooked black comedy with a surprisingly warm, human core. I'm not a fan of either Man Who Knew Too Much.
