So many good choices.  :hmm:
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The Lady Vanishes  :bowler:

Of the ones listed it was a hard choice between "Rebecca" and "Strangers on a Train."  I went with "Rebecca" due to Joan Fontaine's performance.  I read that Hitchcock had secretly instructed everyone on the set be mean to her so she'd feel isolated.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

You should have put "High Anxiety" as an option.   ;)

Dial M for Murder is the one I can watch multiple times and enjoy.  North by Northwest also ranks up high, but unfortunately after the first go through, you start wondering why you'd want to quietly kill someone with a machine gun mounted on a crop duster.

Rear Window launched my lifelong mancrush on Jimmy Stewart, so I'll have to go with that one.

Having said that, Strangers on a Train and Psycho are close runners-up.

Rear Window; Hitchcock was never on better form, nor better served by cast and screenplay.

Notorious.  Some of my favorite dialogue ever.
"The internet's completely over. [...] The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you."
-- Prince, 2010. (R.I.P.)

To Catch A Thief.  No contest.

And the best Hitchcock movie by another director? Charade, by Stanley Donen.
What I speak out of my mouth is the truth.  It burns like fire.
