Family Plot (1976) ***

Small crooks interfere with big crooks in this ingeniously plotted thriller. Alfred Hitchcock's last picture.

Frenzy (1972) ****

Marnie (1964) ***

Sean Connery and Tippi Hedren star in this unusual Hitchcock's film.

The Birds (1963) ***

Classic horror film by Alfred Hitchcock. Very influential.

Psycho (1960) *****

North By Northwest (1959) ****

Classic Hitchcock. Terrific chases, non-stop suspense, great dialogue, tense drama.

Vertigo (1958) ****

One of Alfred Hitchcock's most fascinating films.

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) **

Alfred Hitchcock's remake of his 1934 classic isn't as taut and exciting as the original.

The Trouble With Harry (1955) *

There are many troubles with Harry. For one, he's dead. And nobody knows how to dispose of his body. He's buried and dug up several times. There are also many troubles with the film. It's a black comedy, but the pace is too slow. Acting is stiff (like a corpse...). It's one of Hitchcock's least impressive efforts.

Dial M For Murder (1954) ***

A typical Alfred Hitchcock's suspense film.

Rear Window (1954) *****

Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece and that's saying something. Photographer James Stewart, forced to stay in his appartment because of a broken leg, begins to suspect that one of his neighbours is a murderer. Suspenseful, exciting and superbly directed. The whole film is set in the photographer's appartment.

Drame d’Alfred Hitchcock. Avec James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr, Thelma Ritter. Une des meilleures réalisations d’Alfred Hitchcock, “Rear Window” est une oeuvre pleine de l’humour, du mystère et du suspense. James Stewart joue un photographe qui vient de se casser une jambe, et qui passe de journées entières sur une chaise roulante en regardant par sa fenêtre, observant la vie de ses voisins. Peu à peu, il devient convaincu que l’un entre-eux a tué sa femme. Il demande alors de l’aide à sa fiancée (Grace Kelly) et son infirmière (Thelma Ritter).... Cinq décennies entières n'ont pas diminué l'impact de ce film inoubliable. C’est un véritable chef-d’oeuvre de finesse, réalisé par un vrai maître.

Strangers On A Train (1951) ****

Classic Hitchcock's thriller about a murder pact.

Stage Fright (1950) ***

A whodunit directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Relying more on mystery than on suspense, it's closer in spirit to Agatha Christie's novels than to the Master's other films.

Rope (1948) ***

Shot in continuous takes, this Hitchcock's film, inspired by the Leopold and Loew's case, is more impressive as a stylistic tour-de-force than a suspense thriller.

The Paradine Case (1947) ***

A courtroom drama directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Notorious (1946) ****

Memorable Hitchcock's thriller starring Ingrid Bergman as a daughter of a Nazi traitor, who becomes a spy for the Americans in Buenos Aires.

Spellbound (1945) **

Hitchcock meets Freud and the results aren't pretty.

Shadow Of A Doubt (1943) ****

One of Hitchcock's finest psychological thrillers, set in an idyllic community of Santa Rosa, California.

Saboteur (1942) ***

Fine thriller about Nazi spies in America.

Suspicion (1941) ***

Infamous Hitchcock thriller, in which the original ending was radically changed to prevent Cary Grant from playing a villain.
