Which film do you consider to be a masterpiece?

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.

Another favorite of mine that was a cinematic masterpiece is The Grey Fox. Unbelievably wonderful cinematography. Great western.

Another classic is A Face In The Crowd. Believe it or not, Andy Griffith turns out a brilliant performance.

@SW-User Yes. Andy Griffith was a more talented and nuanced actor than many realized.

@bijouxbroussard He shocked me when I first saw it. He was riveting in his ability to turn on and off the good old boy persona and show how conniving and manipulative his character was. I saw part of a movie with him a number of years ago, might have been one of the last ones he made, in which he played an innocent acting but evil grandfather. Scary as hell! lol.
