In 1958, Hitchcock directed the psychological thriller Vertigo, starring Stewart and Kim Novak. The film topped the 2012 poll of the British film magazine Sight & Sound of the 50 Greatest Films of All Time and also topped the American Film Institute's Top Ten in the mystery genre.
Aug 17, 2024 · Sat 17 August 2024 3:00, UK. The release of The Birds in 1963 marked the end of an era for fans of Alfred Hitchcock, during which the director had stood at the summit of Hollywood, transforming film noir and effectively inventing the suspense thriller.
- Psycho (1960) There are many reasons why Psycho reigns supreme at the top of this list — not only does it surpass most of Hitchcock’s other new-ish films, but it’s regarded as one of the most iconic suspense flicks ever made — it basically invented the slasher subgenre.
- North by North West. Now we are really into the good stuff, with this pseudo-adventure, pseudo-suspense thriller also starring Cary Grant. North by Northwest involves yet another case of mistaken identity with grave consequences as Grant portrays a bewildered advertising executive who is mistaken for a CIA agent.
- The Birds (1963) Snagging a well-earned spot in the final three of this list, The Birds is a quintessential film from the master of suspense that many regard as “the last great Hitchcock film,” which focuses — in a nutshell — on nature going to hell.
- To Catch a Thief. To Catch a Thief may not come close to being suspenseful, especially compared to Vertigo or Rear Window. But nevertheless, the film is a stylish masterpiece and — set in the French Riviera — its scenery is irresistible.
- Vertigo (1958) Alfred Hitchcock was a director whose films are recognisable as his iconic face, even without the use of odd or striking techniques, and even without creating his own plotlines or scripts.
- Psycho (1960) So, $40,000, a pretty young woman and a vulnerable man psychologically dominated by his own mother? Simple, unorthodox, brilliant—classic Hitch.
- Rear Window (1954) There are very few superlatives that haven’t been used to described Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense masterpiece Rear Window. Not only is it crammed to the brim with unstoppable performances, (see James Stewart and Grace Kelly’s career-defining performances) but it sees Hitchcock somehow take the lead role.
- North by Northwest (1959) If there’s one film that sees Hitchcock at his sharpest it may well be North By Northwest from 1959. A commercial powerhouse, the film was still skillfully ladened with artist merit and has been seen as a moment of glory for the director.
