These are his best, but even the others are great. Hitchcock doesn’t really have a bad film, but some of those old B&Was from the 30s, before he came to Hollywood, are a bit creaky. Still some good ones, like the 39 Steps.
His movies from the 60s and 70s aren’t so hot. I saw his last, Family Plot, in the theater when I was young, knowing it would probably be his last film, so at least I could say I got to see one Hitchcock film in the theater during its initial run, like I just did.
Many people think Hitchcock films are going to scary or boring, but the word that describes them best is FUN. Once you get Hitchcock-Hooked, you are in for an exciting ride.
I wish I could see them all for the first time, again.
That is a solid list of must see films.
