I watched Vertigo and Rear Window back to back. It was good but I liked Rear Window like 5 times more
Can't believe no one's said the sweet smell of success.

I would say The Manchurian Canidate but that's a 60's movie. also Rashamon, Seven Samurai and Ikuru.

I haven't seen Rear Window... I'm inspired to watch now.

Vertigo is probably the Hitchcock movie that I'd say improves the most with rewatches. Rear Window is one of his best of course but I'd say Vertigo is his indisputable masterpiece. It really is a candidate for the best movie ever made. I'm glad it unseated Kane in the last poll.

Technically Peeping Tom came out in 1960 but it's still a great and often overlooked film. In my opinion it's even better than Psycho which came out just a few months latter.
