If you haven't seen Vertigo, make some time to watch it. Excellent as well.


Way to undersell.

Although I think it’s been displaced, one of the major critical boards previously had Vertigo as the greatest movie of all time.

North by Northwest is my second favorite Cary Grant Hitchcock film. As good as it is, I find To Catch a Thief to be more rewatchable and enjoyable.

Consider the following -

39 Steps
The Lady Vanishes
Rebecca
Foreign Correspondent
Spellbound
Notorious


Most of his films are really good but those are the best ones I remember that I’ve seen and aren’t on your list. (I own Lifeboat but never sat down and watched it, for instance)

To Catch a Thief
also a classic, and very rewatchable. It’s the quintessential Carey Grant movie for me and the epitome of “movie star” movies

the plot however is preposterous and thats being kind LOL

Chinese58 should start a Cary Grant thread. Is Father Goose in your top 10?

I did a rewatch because of this thread. It had been about 20 years since I had seen it. It was worth the wait because I had forgotten so much even though I remembered really loving it. The shots that Hitchcock used were art. The long shots from the United Nations and the bus arriving for the cropdusting scene were stunning. This shot is beautiful. Composition is amazing.
