It’s time to dust off the old “desert island” scenario, because if I had only one boxed set of films to take with me to, say, one of Indonesia’s 17,000 islands(!), it’d be this one right here. Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection (currently $224 at Amazon) includes 15 films on Blu-ray from the undisputed master of suspense. From the original slasher flick Psycho to the peeping tom’s tale of Rear Window, this set contains more cinematic savoir-faire than one cardboard box should be allowed to contain.
