Hitchcockian Thrillers
lately i've been on a hitchcock kick and i'm running low on titles that i need to see so i'm looking for some movies that feel like a hitchcock movie or deal with themes the way hitchcock did.
examples: niagra cape fear touch of evil i'm not really looking for film noir titles. also i might add that i'm fully aware of brian depalma and dario argento. |

The Talented Mr. Ripley

L'appartement (with Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci).

I like how you said you're not really into noir yet you named three films TSPDT considers noir. :p
Anyway, I only have the obvious to offer: Diabolique The Wages of Fear The Manchurian Candidate ('62) Charade From Russia With Love (similar to NBNW) |

What Lies Beneath. Bob Zemeckis' attempt at a Hitchcock thriller.
|
Munich has a lot of Hitchcockian moments.
And there's always High Anxiety, of course. ;) |
Check out Brian DePalma's library ;) Also, Wolfgang Petersen's Shattered.

In the last years of his life, Hitchcock would occupy a screening room at Universal and just watch new movies all day. His favorite film? Smokey and the Bandit.

The Vanishing
FUnny Games |
Maybe it's just me, but I've always felt Charade to be the most Hitchcock-like film that he didn't direct.

|
Murder by Numbers, with Sandra Bullock.
|
Disturbia! Oh wait...
|
Several dozen Chabrol films.
|
I found Adrian Lyne's Unfathful to be very Hitchcockian

I just watched Chinatown for the first time yesterday, and throughout the whole thing I kept thinking "this feels like a Hitchcock movie".
