- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsCary GrantEva Marie SaintJames MasonA New York City advertising executive goes on the run after being mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, and falls for a woman whose loyalties he begins to doubt.Thrilling, humorous, and mesmerizing. The first big spy flick if not action flick with memorable sequences, stunning set pieces, and knock out performances, it's the most fun you can have in a movie while still being kept on the edge of your seat as the master of suspense lives up to his title.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsJames StewartKim NovakBarbara Bel GeddesA former San Francisco police detective juggles wrestling with his personal demons and becoming obsessed with the hauntingly beautiful woman he has been hired to trail, who may be deeply disturbed.With beautiful cinematics taking the top spot, and terrific performances from Stewart and especially Novak, it is easy to see why this is one of the most infamous mystery films of all time and one of Hitchcock's best films.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAnthony PerkinsJanet LeighVera MilesA Phoenix secretary embezzles $40,000 from her employer's client, goes on the run and checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the domination of his mother.You know damn well why this is here.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsRod TaylorTippi HedrenJessica TandyA wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people.The first time I watched this was 50 years after its release and it succeeded in scaring me *beep* Frankly that says something.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsJames StewartGrace KellyWendell CoreyA wheelchair-bound photographer spies on his neighbors from his Greenwich Village courtyard apartment window and, despite the skepticism of his fashion-model girlfriend, becomes convinced one of them has committed murder.Everyones guilty pleasure of peeping now and again becomes a nightmare in the most entertaining and stylish way possible. ANd frankly Thelma Ritter steals the show here.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsFarley GrangerRobert WalkerRuth RomanA psychopathic man tries to forcibly persuade a tennis star to agree to his theory that two strangers can get away with murder by submitting to his plan to kill the other's most-hated person.A show stealing villain, an innovative premise, and a showcase for more great cinematography, this is one for the books.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsCary GrantIngrid BergmanClaude RainsThe daughter of a convicted German spy is asked by American agents to gather information on a ring of German scientists in South America. How far will she have to go to ingratiate herself with them?A spy film with a plot so great, its even been remade as a Mission Impossible movie, though nowhere near as well.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsIngrid BergmanGregory PeckMichael ChekhovA psychiatrist protects the identity of an amnesia patient accused of murder while attempting to recover his memory.Akin to Vertigo in terms of twist and visuals, it is easy to see where the nomination for best picture came in.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsRay MillandGrace KellyRobert CummingsA former tennis star arranges the murder of his adulterous wife.Grace Kelly takes the lead here as a woman who is framed by her devious husband for murder and it evolves as a stylish mystery that once again takes place in only one room, and yet you don't mind it.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsCary GrantGrace KellyJessie Royce LandisA retired jewel thief sets out to prove his innocence after being suspected of returning to his former occupation.Glamorous, beautiful, and fun. The film is exciting though lackluster in plot makes up in eye candy.
