Alfred Hitchcock: The Essentials Collection [5 Discs] [DVD]

Often in boxed sets of an actor or director with a huge body of work you will get one or two of the best and a collection of lessor titles. That is not the case with this collection. Certainly it could be argued that some of his early worked could have been added but this is a fantastic collection. Every movie is one that you can watch over and over again. This is a great collection of his best known works and in my opinion his best work period. This collection would be worth the price for Rear Window and North By Northwest alone. Nothing has ever come close in my opinion to the build up and tension Hitchcock created in this film. And North By Northwest is masterpiece both for the story telling and the cinematography. Buy this set you will not be disappointed.

The quality of the recordings are fantastic. I am very pleased with this DVD and love watching these classics reproduced so perfectly it's as if I'm watching their first runs. Thanks for preserving these masterpieces.

As an avid horror movie fan this was the best present to myself i could of gotten. This would be a great addition to any collection for the aspiring film student, horror fan, or just a fan of classic films.

If you like Alfred Hitchcock then this is a good five (5) disc collection of his most popular movies. You get five excellent movies from Rear Window and Vertigo to North by Northwest and Birds along with his most shocking classic PSYCHO. The set includes some good extras from documentaries on Rear Window and Vertigo along with production photos and theatrical trailers. The set was a great price as well. I highly recommend this collection.

This set has five of Hitchcock's best suspense thrillers - Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds. All look great on Blu-ray and there are many commentaries and extras.

I bought this set for my husband for Christmas. He is a big Alfred Hitchcock fan and he was thrilled! These are some of his best movies and it is nice to have them all on one DVD.

It's great that it hits all the big movies. Most of the time you end up with "b side" movies in sets like this. It was the perfect way to introduce the teens to Hitchcock.

5 of the Best Hitchcock films are in this collection. Unfortunately, they did not have them on Blu-ray. Nevertheless, these films are great! I have watched them twice over already.
