Vertigo

Vertigo is crazy. That is the best way that I can put it. James Stewart's acting definitely helps to make the film as great as it is. Bernard Herrman's film score is simply amazing as usual, possibly second only to his work on Psycho. This film employs the now classic "Vertigo" shot whenever Stewart is affected by his fear of heights. Stewart's obsession makes this film truly creepy, in a way that no film I have seen ever has. This film is Hitchcock's masterpiece, and features every aspect that makes his films so great from beginning to end. The cliffhanger at the end is the perfect ending to such a wild movie.

Notorious

Notorious is one of Hitchcock's more star-studded films, featuring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. Bergman plays a daughter of a Nazi spy, who is recruited to spy on the Nazis by Grant. What follows is the beginning of a bizarre love triangle involving one of the Nazis. This film is regarded as one of Hitchcock's best, and a film classic. However, compared to the other films that I have seen, this was one of my least favorites. As a teenage male, films involving romance do not typically appeal to me. I felt that this film lacked Hitchcock's classic suspense, as you got the feeling of how the film was going to end very early in the film. While not one of the greatest films in his library, Notorious is still a good view for those interested in film.
