Top 10 Alfred Hitchcock Movies. He was the Master of Suspense. Join us as we count down our picks for the top 10 Alfred Hitchcock movies. Tagline – “The master of suspense brings you his masterpiece” When most people think of the golden age of Hollywood they often think of star like Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and John Wayne. However, I often think of Alfred Hitchcock and all his contributions to cinema history. The thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock have been emulated for decades, with varying levels of success. But a new Amazon series debuting Nov. 2, Homecoming, is an exceedingly rare thing: a Hitchcock.

No ordinary damsel in distress, Hitchcock's leading lady was cool and regal, with a knack for survival—in most cases that is. In homage to 'The Master of Suspense' on his birthday, here are 14.

He's gone out of his way to make your stay a delightfully uncomfortable one. No fiendish pains have been spared to assure you a perfect night's sleeplessness.

Every guest is assured of a working ghostly light at bedside, easy access to hot and cold running blood, and a beautifully clear view of unspoiled evil.

Introduction

AHEM! IF I MAY HAVE A MOMENT—

I hope no one will construe the title of this tome as a challenge. It is — in case you were so eager to get to the stories that you didn't notice — Stories That Scared Even Me. This is meant as a simple statement of fact, not as a summons for you to cry in ringing tones that some of the stories didn't scare you. Why the word Even is in there I don't know. I proposed to call the book, in a simple and dignified manner, Stories That Scared Me. I was overruled. It seems that Stories That Scared Even Me has more swing to it. And this is, obviously, the day of the swinger.

For myself, I do no more than affirm that the stories in this book all gave me one or more of the pleasurable sensations associated with fear. Some quite terrified me. Some profoundly disturbed me and left me with a sense of deep uneasiness. Others prickled my nerve ends pleasurably, touched my spine with chills, or made me swallow hard as I registered their impact. Some did several of these things at once.

On that basis I offer them to you, trusting you will share with me these emotions, so enjoyable when they can be experienced in the snug embrace of an easy chair in the comfort of one's home.

And now I relinquish the screen to the main feature.

Why Alfred Hitchcock is still the 'Master of Suspense'

Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most influential filmmakers in cinema history. Born in England in 1899, his first successful film, 'The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog' (1927), helped to shape the thriller genre. Soon afterwards he became known as the 'Master of Suspense' for an astonishing run of nail-biting, edge-of-seat motion pictures, many of which are ranked among the greatest films of the 20th century and include the intriguing ‘North by Northwest’ (1959) and the truly disturbing ‘Psycho’ (1960).

His movies garnered a total of 46 Oscar nominations and six wins. Eight of them have been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Yet he never won the Best Director Academy Award, an oversight considered a crime by many film critics and historians.
