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

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!
