I've been watching a lot of Hitch's films lately and stumbled upon the fact that March 12th is Alfred Hitchcock Day. (For whatever that's worth.)

Psycho is tied with The Birds.
I've actually been to the Tides restaurant in Bodega bay, where The Birds was filmed.
They've got memorabilia from the film all over the place.

Hard to pick one but if I had to I'd go with Saboteur.

I always really liked Lifeboat with Shadow of a Doubt a close second.

The Birds if only because I grew up only about 20 miles from Bodega, where the movie was filmed. I've yet to tour the church and schoolhouse, though.

A bit of trivia: Norman Lloyd, an actor in Saboteur (1942), died last year at age 106.

The question is simply unfair! Like potato chips, can't have just one. Got to go with N X NW.
Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.

Rear Window, but you can’t go wrong with any of the movies that Hitchcock made with Bernard Herrmann.

Another N x NW fan
But two favorites are “Frenzy” & “Dial M for Murder”

Tippi Hedren and Kim Novak are still around; they're 92 and 89 years old. Here's a photo of them together from four years ago:
