Hi, jewellrunner,
Interesting list. Are you sure you don't want to give Frenzy another spin or two before putting it at the 5 spot? That high? Wow! :-) Glad to see Marnie get some notice, as I find it underrated. Have you seen all his films yet?
All kidding aside, it is very hard for me to rank Hitchcock films, as fond as I am of his talents. I did compile my top 15, but that isn't set in stone either. I think his best work was between 1940-1964. Amazing stuff overall.
