Alfred Hitchcock Movies from Best to Worst!

by steluppi • Created 6 years ago • Modified 1 year ago
Among the films that I've seen of this director, absolute master of cinema of all time, a magician in managing suspence and in the use of innovative and experimental techniques!

P.s.: as for the other lists of this genre, I generally treat my favorite directors, so I don't think there is a film that can be defined as "the worst" but it is a simple order of personal taste.
