Happy Birthday Hitchcock!

One of my all time favorite directors, Alfred Hitchcock, was born on this day in 1899. If Hitch were alive today he’d be… friggin’ old.

Here are my top ten Alfred Hitchcock films. This list is not set in stone by any stretch of the imagination since Hitchcock had so many great movies. Psycho, The Birds, and Rear Window are definitely by top three (although they change positions more often than Ron Jeremy).   

Psycho – The original Slasher! Part horror, part black comedy, all awesome!

The Birds – It takes a skilled director to make Budgies scary!

Rear Window – What I wouldn’t do have the view Jimmy Stewart had … of Grace Kelly!

Frenzy – Very underrated serial killer flick.

North By Northwest – Great thriller filled with Iconic moments.

Spellbound– Featuring Dali art work that’s Psycho-delic!

Rebecca – It’s not supernatural, but a ghost story nonetheless.

Vertigo – One of Jimmy Stewart’s best performances in a Hitchcock Thriller. That’s definitely saying something.

The Trouble With Harry – Great Screwball Thriller.

Lifeboat – Greatest film to ever take place entirely on a boat. It features one of Hitchcock’s most ingenuous cameos.
