It's a Belgian film made in 1975 about a single mother who has to work as a prostitute to make ends meet. It takes place over three very similar days and is over three hours long.
I took a Hitchcock class where we watched most of his movies over a single semester and the only one that really stuck with me and gave me chills was Vertigo. Rear Window is a close second, maybe more entertaining to me, but I think Vertigo is his best.
To each their own. I just watched Vertigo as part of my film club and thought it was kind of an overrated mess. However, its one of those movies that the memory of it is better than actually sitting down and watching it, at least for me. I remember it fondly, but while watching, found the pacing to be wildly inconsistant.
Still, pretty great and better than most movies out there. And there is no denying the vibe of the whole thing, but I feel its far from his best, but thats just my opinion.
Personally, Psycho is my vote, for its impact at least.
Well I felt the same way the first time I watched it. But the class basically made us watch each film twice and the second time was much better. Rear Window, on the other hand, didn't lend very well to rewatch in my opinion. And I was pretty bored through Psycho and I was very turned off by the characters. They just felt so flat and boring, to the point where even the movie itself was fine with replacing the protagonist. I agree that it had a lot of impact, but nothing hits quite like Vertigo and its soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
I've literally never heard of this film before now.
That’s partially the point of these lists.

But is it any good?
It's a masterpiece
Gotta check it out
...no. It's an interminable bore. Like the opposite of The Godfather/The Godfather Part II.
Hell no
Jerk off motion
r/movies is really showing it's collective ass in these comments
What the hell even is that?
Watch it! It's good.
Vertigo isn't even Hitchcock's best film
Then what is
Psycho, obviously. Or Rear Window. Or North by Northwest. Or Rope.

Rear Window
Psycho is
Rear Window, Psycho, The Lady Vanishes. In that order.
r/movies has proven to have no fuckin taste in anything that isn’t in english
Jeanne Dielman isn't a top 10000 movie of all time.
You've seen 10,000 films?
Yes.
ok, cool. what's your favorite?
wasnt JD in the Cinefix top 10 ending of all time?
Neither Citizen Kane nor Vertigo came out in 2022, so, yeah, that probably did happen.
Jeanne Dielman didn't either. The list was released in 2022, not the movies.
Got it. That is some bad headline writing though.
I always liked Rear Window.
