> For my part, I liked "Vertigo" better. "Rear Window," "Vertigo" and "North By Northwest" are my picks for Hitch's best films - "Psycho" is, in my estimation, widely overrated. It's a good film, but I didn't find it as effective as the others. Then again, that could be because, as has been said, everyone already knows what happens and all that.

I have the same problem with Psycho. I can appreciate it for its technical mastery but I never got into it on a personal level because by the time I saw it I knew every detail. I wish I could have seen the film with a clean slate and I'm sad that it is an experience I'll never get. Oh well...
