Zinnemann is honest in his depiction of the raw, unfiltered emotions of displaced children, making The Search one of the most searing examinations of war’s impact ever put on screen.

Till the End of Time remains an extraordinary exploration of what happened when the boys came home...and when they didn't. In many ways, it's a landmark film.

Shot in three-strip Technicolor, it’s simply one of the most gorgeous films ever made, and in terms of composing a frame, Michael Powell was a master.

It's all a bit "been there, done that," and though it's not abysmal for its time, it doesn't feel particularly fresh or enjoyable.

Of the two classic Universal sequels, Son of Dracula has more to it, even with such bad miscasting as the all-American Lon Chaney Jr. as Dracula (and it is Dracula himself here, despite the title). He gives it the ol' college try, and he was the first to play Dracula in a moustache, but there's no getting around his voice or his blue-collar demeanor.

As an example of artistic propaganda, a film that drives home a message while maintaining creative credibility, it remains second to none.

What, on the surface, appears as a gothic tale of the occult with shocking visual mutation, is actually a tender tale of misunderstanding and tragedy.

Joan Fontaine is so fantastic in Suspicion that she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the only Oscar-winning performance in a Hitchcock movie.

Alfred Hitchcock's Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a chuckle-filled screwball comedy featuring one of Lombard's greatest comedic performances.

The attempt at something different is admirable, even if the execution leaves something to be desired, making this a worthwhile curiosity for fans of old-school science-fiction, even though it's not particularly amazing or anything.

Once conceived as a faithful adaptation, it morphed into something that not only made it stand out, but surpassed the original. From changing the character dynamics to challenging the first film's reputation, it proved to be a beloved screwball comedy that still has viewers laughing more than 80 years later.

Charles Laughton hams it up wonderfully in a villainous role, and Jamaica Inn is enough of an oddity to make it strangely engaging throughout much of its runtime.

It is a deft mix of comedy, romance, and suspense typical of Hitchcock’s formative British years.

The film masterfully balances comedy and crime-solving, showcasing the chemistry and wit of its lead characters.

With a plot reminiscent of James Bond, Secret Agent is an entertaining blend of espionage, adventure and love with touches of comedy thrown in.

At least its status as something of an outlier within Alfred Hitchcock’s filmography makes it a little interesting, but actually sitting through it proves to be an inconsistent sort of affair at best.

For a film that's little more than an hour long, Number 17 manages to weave a complex plot of who's who and whodunit.

If there's one Hitchcock silent films fans should see, it's this suspense-filled thriller, which provides an early indication of why and how he earned his 'Master of Suspense' title.

The 2008 remake of Easy Virtue starring Jessica Biel and Colin Firth, is a lot livelier and more entertaining, but the original is worth watching, particularly to note the difference in the portrayal of the female lead character.
