Most people would put
Vertigo in the top tier as well; it's not only often selected as Hitchcock's finest film, but ranks near the top of many lists of all movies.
AFI's influential top 100, for instance, has it as the #9 American film of all time, edging out
The Wizard of Oz. (
Psycho weighs in at #14, with
Rear Window at #48 and
North by Northwest at #55), while
Sight and Sound rated it as the best film of all time, beating out
Citizen Kane.
