I am a big Hitchcock fan and I still enjoy watching all his movies over and over again. Which Hitchcock thriller is your favorite?

It's a tie for me: North by Northwest & The Birds. (I know, you werer thinking I was gonna say "Rope" because I said tie, but that would just put you in a laughing Frenzy and you'd go Psycho on me , JoJo!)

I like both movies for ther casts: Birds: Rod Taylor & Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleschette, Veronica Cartwright, Doodle Weaver & Richard Deacon. N x NW:Cary Grant & Eve Marie Saint, James Mason, Leo G. Carroll, Martin Landau, Edward Platt.

I liked the Sci-Fi element of the Birds and I liked the Cool mystique of Grant & Saint. Both great stories.

(Then there's Dial M for Muredr, The 39 steps, The Lodger,Strangers on a Train, Rear Window...)

When I saw The Birds for the first time, I was about Seven years old and it scared the beejeesus out of me. Now i would say it was a tie between Psycho & Rear Window.

Rear Window, The Lady Vanishes, Rope, The Birds, ... ummm what to choose?? And what was the name of that one out at sea?? Was it called Lifeboat?? That's a good one too!!

What's yours JoJo??

Musn't forget Vertigo, James Stewart, Kim Novak. Great mystery. And I'm a Kim Novak freak, anyway.

(Stewart and Novak also worked together in Bell, Book and Candle with Jack Lemmon and Hermione Gingold. Great little story of Manhattan witchery.)

"Rear Window." It's just so . . . neat.

Redback, here are my favorites:

Saboteur
Psycho
Dial M for Murder
Vertigo
Strangers on a Train
Marnie
Rear Window

Snap! JoJo, I love Hitchcock too, and this is a reeeally hard choice, but i think, North by NorthWest would win (Cary Grant is the REAL James Bond), followed by Strangers on a Train and Rear Window.

Actually, there aren't any that I DON'T like....hmm let me see....this require some thought.

LOL! I know what you mean Ruma. I watched 'The Trouble With Harry' today and it was such an funny little movie. Hichcock certainly had a great sense of humor, didn't he?

I'm a HUGE Hitchcock fan too, Jojo. Here we go:

Rebecca
Notorious
Rope
North by Northwest
Psycho
Rear Window
The Man Who Knew Too Much (56)
Vertigo
To Catch a Thief

Have I got them all? hehehehehe

Definitely Marnie !!! Closely followed by Psycho, The Birds , and Rear Window . Vertigo was great, too.

My all time favourite out of a very fine selection of films has to be Spellbound. Made in black and white and starring a young Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman.

I like Psycho and The Birds.

I'm with Spikey - Psycho and The Birds!

Just after we moved into a new sub division that had been built on farm land,in the 60's) I watched The Birds for the first time. The movie did not freak me out at all, in fact I loved it! Anyway, I think it was the following day or it might have been a few days later, groups of large snowy owls (large owls with huge eyes and totally white feathers) started gathering in the few trees that had been left standing in the field beyond the house. This was in the middle of winter and the trees were dark and dead looking and barren of leaves and the ground was stark white with snow. There must have been about 20 or so, but it seemed like a lot more to me! I think maybe the mice in the field were easy to spot from that vantage point, but those owls did give me a few anxious moments as I watched them uneasily from my bedroom window!

Without a doubt Marnie closely followed by anything Hitchcock has ever done. Love Jimmy Stewart though so Rear Window is a big favourite. No body has ever come close to the atmospheric feel the Al created. Why is that? He truly is the master bar none!!!

"Rear Window" is my favorite Hitchcock film
