Indeed. Don't forget about his earlier silents (The Lodger is a particular gem), and both versions of The Man Who Knew Too Much are good in their own way. Of his later films, I also like the much-maligned Torn Curtain and the underrated Marnie. Also, don't forget from his classic period Suspicion, Spellbound, Strangers on a Train, To Catch a Thief, Rope, and various others not on this list. One I suggest ignoring: Jamaica Inn. Read the book instead. Also his final film, Family Plot, is far from his best, but worth a look if one is a completist. :)
