For 50 years Americans have known the best film in history to be none other than "Citizen Kane". So what does it take for a film so revered as number 1 to fall from grace? Here's a hint: "Good evening". That's right, Alfred Hitchcock.

| James Steward & Kim Novak in Vertigo |
The master of suspense and thrills himself edged out
Citizen Kane for first place. According to Yahoo: "Made in 1958, the psychological suspense drama first entered the
Sight & South poll in 1982 in seventh place--two years after its director died. Largely ignored by the critics for most of his career, its rise in the poll is testament to how Hitchcock's reputation has steadily increased over time. Starring Kim Novak and James Stewart,
Vertigo trumped
Citizen Kane by 34 votes this time around; it was five votes shy of
Kane 10 years ago."
Hitchcock is also famous for films such as
The Birds,
Psycho and
The Trouble with Harry. This blogger's personal favorite and recommendation,
Rope, also starring James Stewart, is a true nail bitter. For more on the Sight & Sound poll please go to the following link below.
