Alfred Hitchcock is more than just the master of suspense.

Throughout his career, the legendary director transformed cinema as we know it today through his unique visual eye, masterful storytelling, and incredible showmanship.

In celebration of his birthday on Sunday, we look back on his most memorable works -- ranging from the crowd-pleasing "Psycho" to a movie regarded as one of the best ever made, "Vertigo."

Here are the 13 Alfred Hitchcock movies you need to watch in your lifetime:

Family Plot (1976) and Topaz (1969) were good, too.

There should be a category of "Great suspense movies that should have been Hitchcock's, but weren't":

Witness for the Prosecution
Diabolique
Wait Until Dark
Midnight Lace
The Silent Partner
Anatomy of a Murder
Black Sunday
Marathon Man
Cape Fear (the original 1962 version, of course)
Shallow Grave
Sleuth (the Olivier version, of course)
The Night of the Hunter

I’m trying to imagine how one can love Notorious but not love “Cary Grant’s acting in that movie.” Freeper art critics continue to bemuse...

[miss marmelstein]

No, some of them (not all of them) had great directors of their own who brought their own sensibility to suspense. Hitchcock had various themes that he explored endlessly in his movies and some of those are not in the movies you mention.

The love birds going into the curves while riding in her car is the best part. That’s a hoot!
