I have only seen parts of Psycho and I really want to see some of Alfred Hitchcock's greatest films to begin with as I have heard great things about his movies. So this is like a starter kit per se for Hitchcock films. So what are the first few movies of his that I should start with? Thanks:D

Honestly, you can NOT go wrong with an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
I think for me, the quintessential Hitchcock movie is REBECCA. It drags out a little bit at the end, but its easily my favourite one, and the only one that won Best Picture.
North By Northwest is one of the most entertaining films EVER made, and is not only an essential Hitchcock film, its an essential movie to see period.
Strangers on a Train is entertaining as all hell, and is one of the greatest stories of obsession that you will ever see.
The Birds is also one of my favourites. It starts out like a romantic comedy and slowly becomes an out-right terrifying tale of man vs nature. The beginning bits move a little slower than the rest of the movie, but once it gets going - boy does it ever get going.
Rear Window is just perfection. And a must see in every sense. Same goes with Vertigo, which is just a masterpiece.
Clearly I love Alfred Hitchcock. If theres one I would say you didnt have to see it would be Suspicion. Its good, but not his best.

My favorite Hitchcock films are "Dial M for Murder" and "Vertigo" out of the 8 Hitchcock films I have seen. So I definitely suggest you start with those.
I still have my fair share of Hitchcock films to see. I really want to see North by Northwest, To Catch a Thief, Strangers on a Train, Rope and Notorious.
I agree with Justin. Rebecca was a great film but it does drag on....
