Best Hitchcock Movies

Best Hitchcock Movies He was known as the Master of Suspense. More accurately, he was Master of the Cinematic Language. No filmmaker better walked the tightrope between the “academic” and the “mainstream,” enjoying an unrivaled legacy among international film scholars, while boasting a living-room familiarity captured in two simple words: “Good evening.” He was as much of a showman as he was a visionary, making films that celebrate the nail-biting entertainment we love about the movies, yet ones that, upon closer inspection, reveal a deeper understanding of how cinesthetic techniques work wonders on the subconscious. It’s time we reflect on Hitchcock’s most legendary work to see what’s truly possible when art’s ultimate paintbox enters the hands of a true master. Turn on your shower, grab your binoculars and don’t look down — you just might get the spins. Click through the gallery for the Best Hitchcock Movies.
