I know there are others like The Byrds, The Lady Vanishes, Rear View and Vertigo off the top of my head-

Rear Window (my personal favorite), The Birds, Dial M for Murder, Vertigo, Psycho,North by Northwest, Rope, Rebecca, Frenzy, Strangers on a Train, Spellbound, To Catch a Thief...just to name a few.
After whom, Kubrick and Spielberg, or are you a more classical movie film-goer?

Kubrick would be fourth. I put Hitchcy, Chris Nolan, Spielberg.

That's a pretty narrow point of view. There's no way you can compare a suspense thriller like Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW to a classic Western like STAGECOACH or HIGH NOON, or a drama like CITIZEN KANE. And what about quality Sci-Fi like 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY? If you don't allow for different genres, that doesn't leave much room for GREAT DIRECTORS LIKE Akira Kurasawa, François Truffaut, Howard Hawks, Billy Wilder, John Ford, Martin Scorsese, and Stanley Kubrick.

Just an opinion. It's all relative. Martin Scorsese and Kubrick are in my top 5.

You seemed a bit upset that I would say that Alfred Hitchcock is in my top three best directors of all time. I watch all kinds of movies, mostly pre 1990's, but a lot of newer ones, too. There are all kinds of directors that are good or great, but I have my favorites.
I respect all types of genres of movies. I also have my favorites. My favorites are mostly from pre 1990's, but there are plenty of newer ones as well.
In fact, I have a top ten list of movies from different genres. Top ten comedies, top ten suspense, top ten dramas, etc...
