Claustrophobia and Anxiousness = Entertainment

My Hitchcock favorites vary, but this one has been up at the top most often, ever since the time my dad and I watched it on Friday Night at the Movies. That's when I became not only a fan of the movie, but a fan of its director and its star. The feelings of claustrophobia and anxiousness are so acute that the viewer, once drawn in, cannot get away. It's one of those that must be watched straight through for full effect.
It also has a pre-Perry Mason Raymond Burr and Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks creator Ross Bagdasarian as neighbors observed from a distance.
