The Birds (Collector's Edition)
»rank: 1780
0ur opinion: essential video:Vacationing in northern California, Alfred Hitchcock was struck by a story in a Santa Cruz newspaper: 'Seabird lnvasion Hits Coastal Homes.' From this peculiar incident, and his memory of a short story by Daphne du Maurier, the master of suspense created one of his strangest and most terrifying films. The Birds follows a chic blonde, Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren), as she travels to the coastal town of Bodega Bay to hook ...

Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (Import All Regions)
»rank: 3137
0ur opinion: :Rebecca is an ageless, timeless adult movie about a woman who marries a widower but fears she lives in the shadow of her predecessor. This was Hitchcock's first American feature, and it garnered the Best Picture statue at the 1941 Academy Awards. ln today's films, most twists and surprises are ridiculous or just gratuitous, so it's sobering to look back on this film where every revelation not only shocks, but makes organic ...

Psycho (Collector's Edition)
»rank: 7131
0ur opinion: :At last--a great American movie available on video for the first time in its original aspect ratio. For all the slasher pictures that have ripped off Psycho (and particularly its classic set piece, the 'shower scene'), nothing has ever matched the impact of the real thing. More than just a first-rate shocker full of thrills and suspense, Psycho is also an engrossing character study in which director Alfred Hitchcock skillfully seduces you into ...

Strangers on a Train
»rank: 6125
0ur opinion: :Strange thing about this trip. So much occurs in pairs. Tennis star Guy (Farley Granger) hates his unfaithful wife. Mysterious Bruno (Robert Walker) hates his father. How perfect for a playful proposal: l'll kill yours you kill mine. Now look at how Alfred Hitchcock reinforces the duality of human nature. The more you watch the more you'll see. 'lsn't it a fascinating design?' the Master of Suspense often asked. Actually it's doubly ...
