5. Strangers on a Train
Yes! The registry still needs more Hitchcock! This gem is often overlooked in comparison to his better-known films like Vertigo and Psycho but at times it can be just as suspenseful. The premise of swapping murders could have made for a routine thriller in the hands of a lesser director but Hitchcock exceeded expectations once again. The film also includes an excellent villain in the form of Robert Walkers Bruno. You arent sure if hes serious about committing murder until he actually goes through with it. And that makes him much more frightening than the typical over-the-top Hollywood bad guy. Its one of those performances thats worth preserving for all time.
