Strangers On a Train (1951), a tense thriller with an innocent man entangled in a psychotic charmer's murder plot.

Rear Window (1954), with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly in the nail-biting tale of a man stuck in a wheelchair who thinks he sees his neighbor kill his wife.

Notorious (1946), a masterful spy story with Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant and Claude Rains.

North by Northwest (1959), a hugely entertaining cross-country thriller with Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason that winds up at Mount Rushmore, of all places. Vertigo (1958) could be listed as Hitchcock's greatest film, an "is-she-or-isn't-she" spellbinder with Kim Novak in a double role.

Psycho, (1960) might be his most famous. It inspired so many imitators that it seems clichéd and a little campy now, but it can still deliver a shock or two.

The Birds (1963) is the best of Hitchcock's later movies, departing from his traditional themes. It's an odd, nerve-wracking tale of birds attacking a seaside town in waves of inexplicable savagery. The sight of silent crows settling one by one on a schoolyard jungle gym is unforgettable.

Hitchcock's last great film, 1972's Frenzy, marked his return to England. A lot of critics love it...
