"Favourite/Best Hitchcock Film and why (please no spoilers)"


          

So i've started getting in to Alfred Hitchcock and totally understand how is described as the master of suspense.

The most recent film of his i've seen in Psycho which was excellent and the score was incredible (i didn't realise Busta had sampled it on Gimme Some Mo until just now) -
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jPYyHN13Piw.

Its based on the story of Ed Gein and Anthony Perkins is very good as Norman Bates. I thought the ending was scarier than the shower scene which is so well known.

I think North by Northwest is the most enjoyable film i've seen of his and the chemistry of Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint is wonderful.

And i preferred Dial M for Murder more than Rear Window (is that a controversial choice?).

While i haven't seen many of his which do you think are his most important films and why. Go ahead and recommend or tell me which ones not to bother with.
