My hands-down favorite Hitchcock. Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman were outstanding in it. Claude Rains was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and Ben Hecht for Original Screenplay, but neither won, alas.

Pass.

  5. Duel (1971)

Four years before Steven Spielberg changed the movie business with “Jaws,” he came out with this TV movie and made us scared of big rigs.

Dennis Weaver plays David, a businessman who passes a slow-moving truck on a two-lane highway, and it turns out to be the biggest mistake of his life. The truck begins to follow him and before you know it the evil truck and its driver are tormenting David. What could be laughable turns into a tense thriller thanks to the mastery of Spielberg.
