Psycho. Sorry, a Classic. Used his same crew from the TV show and if I'm not mistaken did it on a little more than the TV budget.
There are several others I cannot remember very well. He was so good at doing things like the continuous take that was hailed as brilliant in Atonement. Hitchcock wanted to perfect it, sadly the fils he did it with weren't the greatest.
The only thing worse than stupid people are stupid people who bother me...

Let me just say...I went through a dark phase of my life and my movies revolved around Hitchcock and John Carpenter films.
I'm a dog chasing cars. I don't know what I'd do if I caught one. I don't have plans. I just do things. I'm not a schemer.
I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments.
I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger.

Re: Good Evening (Hitchcock voice)
That's so weird that you say that, because I had a similar period with both filmmakers.The Birds, Rear Window (modern remake=Disturbia)...and a whole lot more.
Let me just say...I went through a dark phase of my life and my movies revolved around Hitchcock and John Carpenter films.
As for the best Hitchcock, I think I can't choose between Rear Window and Vertigo and then I remember The 39 Steps... and then Strangers on a Train.. and then I'm really stuck! I can tell you that I flatly dislike The Birds and don't care for Marnie, not because it's bad, but because it is SO DISTURBING!

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956 -- the remake!)
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (his only comedy)
Re: Good Evening (Hitchcock voice)
Psycho and North By Northwest are probably my favourites. Haven't seen enough of his work though, I would like to see Marnie (him and Sean Connery sounds like an interesting combination) and Frenzy.
