Re: Best Hitchcock
[ QUOTE ]
I don't think any are more hyped than Psycho and North by Northwest, neither of which strike me as among his best.

I completely agree with you on Psycho. It's important in the history of film, but as a Hitchcock movie it's just a cheap looking black comedy.
The reason N by NW is always up on these lists has to do with the fact that it's really his most commerical film. There is very little below the surface in comparison to other Hitch films. N by NW is just a fun movie.
