What's your favourite Hitchcock film?

My favourite is Vertigo. Made in the '50s it's a perfect portrayal of the fragility of love.

Vertigo's good, but I think I prefer Notorious.

The Birds - because the ending is so sudden and unexpected.

What did you think of "Sabotage"? There's a harrowing scene on a London bus - not a Routemaster, though.

Frenzy shows a horrid serial killer/rapist who also frames his old army buddy that served in the same Regiment. It's a great movie with a couple of scenes of black humor to break the tension. At his best Hitchcock was one of the greats.
