I'm torn between 'Psycho' and 'The Birds', but I think I'll go for 'Psycho'.
Anyone got a less obvious nomination?

Rear Window or Vertigo.

Having said that, if I had to watch one again, now, I'd like to watch 'Strangers on a Train' again. A much simpler movie compared to the above but I like it.

For me, I have a soft spot for 'Frenzy'.

For Hitch I think 'The Trouble With Harry' held some fascination for him.

Hitchcock is on record as saying his favourite of all his films was 'Shadow of a Doubt'

There are so many to choose from...love em all....my favourite remains
"Rebecca" with the ultimate creepy lesbian housekeeper (Judith Anderson),
I like the clever plotting of "Foreign Correspondent" with its nasty Nazi
spies, mysterious windmills turning backwards and an amazingly well-
staged plane crash into the sea.....among films of his so-called "golden
period" I like Hitch`s "To Catch A Thief" with Grace Kelly giving Cary Grant
a kiss, fully clothed but oh so erotic....and "Psycho". Among the British
films "The Lady Vanishes" is fun, but equally inspired and fast-moving is
"Young And Innocent" with its twitching eyed strangler ! Oh, and "Strangers
On A Train" is fab, both as a murder thriller and also a study in homosexual
perversion.
