    Young and Innocent
    Although overshadowed by his later classics Psycho and The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock's thriller is still a masterclass in suspenseful cinema. [14 Sep 2022, p.29]
    • The Telegraph
  2. The 39 Steps
    Alfred Hitchcock is at the height of his skin-prickling powers in this brisk spy story, seasoned with oodles of humour and a dash of kink. [14 Jun 2013]

    It Happened One Night
    It Happened One Night is pure delight.
  4. Scarface
    Perhaps the best (and certainly the most realistic and violent) of the great 1930s gangster films, with Paul Muni as an Al Capone surrogate. Directed by Howard Hawks at a flat-out pace, with thrilling shoot-outs and intriguing if depraved characters. [18 Jun 2013]
    • The Telegraph
  5. The Skin Game
    Another play Hitchcock was resistant to adapting, this time by John Galsworthy, made for a static but honourable picture. [14 Jul 2012]

    • 91 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    All Quiet on the Western Front
    All Quiet on the Western Front remains an essential piece of social history and a heart-wrenching film.
    • 98 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Passion of Joan of Arc
    In the hands of the great Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer it becomes a potent saga of battered faith, vicious bullying and personal torment.
  8. Easy Virtue
    Not a hugely comfortable fit for the silent treatment, Noël Coward's play might have transferred better in the stagey confines of the early sound era. [14 Jul 2012]
    • The Telegraph
  9. The Ring
    Skilful photography boosts a standard-issue love triangle into one of Hitch's own favourite films from the period. [14 Jul 2012]
    • The Telegraph
  10. Jupiter's Moon
    It is an outrageously ambitious and intermittently staggering piece of work, though it completely lacks the kind of discipline or focus that might have made its themes or images really stick.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Born and Bred
    Palo Pandolfo's folky score is appealing, and Guillermo Nieto's pale, crunchy photography is terrific. The film's conclusion, while a little hurried, is satisfying, too, making this a quiet but resonant mood piece.
