Hitchcock's finest

"Vertigo" is my favorite and my vote for the best, but obviously it's not everyone's cup of tea.

For myself, I'd put "Rear Window" somewhere in the bottom half of my top ten Hitchcock films, because I just don't really believe in the relationship between the two leading characters, and see zero appeal in spying on neighbors. Obviously, a lot of critics and fans don't feel the same way.




“Seventy-seven courses and a regicide, never a wedding like it!

I'm wait for the first time and it's amazing!

While I disagree with your opinions about Vertigo and The Birds, I do think Rear Window is his masterpiece - because, more so than Vertigo, it ties Hitchcock's obsession with voyeurism and control to that of the audience.

warning to animal lovers, the dog gets it. remarkable how the beginning shot of the neighbourhood looks somewhat like almost a dollhouse, and very stark colours. the comment thelma ritter's role makes about how many marriages starts reminded of al bundy's remarks of his own in "married with children". this could almost be confused with "vertigo" at first impression, both star james stewart in an apartment being visited by a witty woman friend, both colour from the 1950's, and of course both by hitchcock. did hitchcock always use blonde leading actresses? i've always wondered why he never used stars like sophia loren or joan crawford, i often find the supporting females in his movies to have more of a screen impact than the actual star, i didn't even think this needed a leading lady, also i suppose the huge age gap between the stars could add to the zero chemistry which apparently others have picked up on as well, another common opinion seems to be an unsatisfying ending, i actually liked the ending. the guy popping out from the roller curtain looks like burt lancaster. funny part when the guy with grease starts to talk about her ideas, and when it looks like he's shaking her glass or the other way around, also in that same scene notice the music they are listening to is in tune with their raising tension in the story, this is the oldest version i've heard of mona lisa.

My favourite Hitchcock along with Rope.
