You might like Marnie; and I may have misjudged it. Seyfried (where's he gone?) thinks it's amazing.
Rope is excellent.

I just watched Rope capo. Although I liked his thematic exploration, I was disappointed, perhaps because I was expecting some mystery element like some of his other films.

Only yesterday I got to know that he was born in 1899. 19th Century!!! Approximating it to 1900, the year (YY) of production of a film was also his age. Can't believe he made some of the greatest movies so late in his career.

He was only in his fifties, though, when he made his best films.

I'm watching the first rape scene in "Frenzy" right now. It's suspenseful and well framed in Hitchcock's early way, though obviously more modern and straightforward in the content. The dialogue drains me. Frightening.

I'd recommend seeing all of those. In fact, Hitchcock and Bergman are the two directors whose films I think are worth seeing because of director's credit alone. Even their lesser works are at worst interesting.
