What is your favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie? I had gone to several Hitchcock movie festivals here in the Villages.

North by Northwest is my favorite film of his. .

I enjoyed "the birds" though I never did understand how a crow could rip right through the metal on a car roof.

I did like his sense of humor though, particularly in those short monologues that preceded each episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

I used to go by the school house used in The Birds on my way to Bodega Bay.

May I pick two?

Tied at #1 are Rear Window and Dial M for Murder. I cannot recommend each highly enough. Just outstanding in every way.

There are so many other good ones -- Hitch is one of my favorites!

Alfred Hitchcock - IMDb Scroll down and click on Credits to see the list of films he directed.

The Rope. Filmed with one camera the whole way through.
Lifeboat. Hitchcock showed up as a silhouette in a newspaper.

Default The Girl

Although not a Hitchcock movie, The Girl is worth a watch.
Hitchcock was a pig.
