Psycho is probably Hitchcock’s most well known movie, with the most memorable scenes (shower and dead mother scene). Truly a masterpiece where his other movies are measured against.

Not in any particular order:


Rear Window (1954): When professional photographer (James Stewart) is confined to a wheelchair with a broken leg, he becomes obsessed with watching the private dramas of his neighbors (with all blinds open) play out across the courtyard.


North by Northwest (1959): A case of mistaken identity, Cary Grant is forced into a game of cat and mouse chase. The scene where he play a drunk driver and brought to police station is hilarious. He not only have to prove to police that he wasn’t drunk driving, but also to his mother.


Dial M for Murder (1954): Not one of Hitchcok’s best movie, but lead actor Ray Milland is simply superb. It is a joy to watch him wiggle his way out of tight spots with his wife (Grace Kelly) and police when thing go awry. And things go awry from the start.
