The Master of Suspense is behind some of cinema's best and most recognizable movies, from thrillers like Psycho to noir romances like Notorious.
Alfred Hitchcock is among cinema’s most influential and revered directors. Known as The Master of Suspense, Hitchcock rose to prominence in the late 1920s, but achieved the apex of his fame throughout the 1940s and ’50s. He directed over 50 movies throughout his 60-year-long career.
Related Rope is noteworthy for its then-groundbreaking use of editing techniques that make it seem as though the film is made of four long, continuous takes. It also takes place in real time, further adding to the sense of tension and increasing dread overtaking the affair. Tight and psychologically daunting, Rope is among Hitchcock’s most noteworthy and singular efforts, a near-experimental exercise in precision that remains as fresh and revelatory today as it was back in 1948.9.
Shadow of a Doubt plays on classic Hitchcockian themes, including paranoia, hesitation, secrets, and double identities. Cotten is stupendous as the nefarious Uncle Charlie, a menacing, yet strangely alluring figure that ranks among Hitch’s best villains. Further elevated by an equally impressive Teresa Wright, Shadow of a Doubt is an intimate, yet disturbing portrayal of humanity’s primal states. It’s no wonder it was Hitchcock’s favorite.6.
A direct precursor to the modern action sequences that dominate the cinematic landscape, North by Northwest is a thrilling, clever, and exhilarating classic. The film features one memorable scene after another, from Thornhill running away from a plane to him climbing Mount Rushmore. In many ways, North by Northwest is something of an outlier in Hitchcock’s résumé, but it still revisits many of his favorite themes, most notably mistaken identity.
