Yeah, Vertigo is a tad overrated and it's not Hitch's best film... But, it's miles better than Touch of Evil or anything else from 58' for that matter...
So, close this puppy up and let's move on to 57'...
Vertigo.

Being the only film earning for than 1 vote, arguably Hitchcock's finest of his many masterpieces sweeps through to give the master his 3rd straight victory...
1) Vertigo (24 votes)
2) a few others with only 1 vote each!
Obviously, this one's ready to be closed!
