But choosing between these two to name “the” best Hitchcock effort? Seemingly an insurmountable task. I can make a pretty decent case (I think) for both of these movies as the pinnacle of Hitch’s repertoire. The final two on that short list, I believe, far and away represent the best movies Hitchcock ever directed. Each of these, I feel, is a perfect example of what makes Hitchcock so fascinating a filmmaker–every film an unparalleled concoction of mystery, suspense, romance, humor, and unrelieved examinations of human behavior. I can give a top five quite easily: North by Northwest, Strangers on a Train, Notorious, Rear Window, and Shadow of a Doubt. Being an inveterate Alfred Hitchcock fan, when someone asks me to name my favorite film from the prolific director, I find it a difficult question to answer at first.
