I've seen thousands of films but there are only two that I might consider masterpieces, both directed by Hitchcock: "Vertigo" and "Rear Window". They aren't my only favourites by him, but they're two that at might consider come close to that description.

@PhilDeep It is flawless in my opinion

@PhilDeep The plot doesn't need them, so it would be a bit false putting them in I think
