Name your top 5 most underrated hitches

here is mine:

1 Rope (without a doubt the best of his films that are practically forgotten.)
2 The Trouble With Harry (Really funny and original, I never hear anybody
about this film)
3 Torn Curtain (Often considered as an inferior Hitch, but I think it's great.)
4 Marnie (Great Hermann score, people find this a bit overacted I believe, I
think Tippi Hedren does an oke job.)
5 Family Plot (All right I admit it isn't his best job, I still think it is an
entertaining piece of work.)

Please tell me what you think that Hitchcock's most underrated movies are.

And I am not talking about Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho etc.
We all ready know how good these films are.

I don't think Hitchcock ever made a bad film, although I haven't seen them all. I've got all his 35 films which are available on Blu-ray. So, other than the famous ones, viz. Vertigo, Rear Widow, Pshyco, The Birds, etc., I believe most Hitchcock films tend to be underrated. Amongst all, your list (viz. Rope, The Trouble with Harry, Marnie, Torn Curtain and Family Plot) does indeed contain his most underrated films.
