1. A wonderful Hitch day!

Some really great ones.

If you've never seen it, try Shadow of a Doubt with the always great Joseph Cotten.

Thelma Ritter, always high value, adds much to Rear Window. She deserved a supporting actress Oscar.

And of course, Vertigo, Strangers on a Train, Psycho, etc.

Forget this version of Man Who Knew too Much. It's a Hitch remake that does not come close to Hitch's original. Doris Day??????????? Really? And she sings an absolutely dreadful song!

2. The reveal from "Vertigo" and the dream.

The dream, with the always incredible Bernard Herrmann score:

Just in case anybody wonders why this film is rated top of all Hitch's films. I prefer NbyNW, but this film is still absolutely astounding and deserves its place in cinematic fame. As usual, Bernard Hermann's score is a prominent character.

The absolutely incredible title sequence:
