I'd have to go with either Shadow of a Doubt or The Birds, for sentimental reasons.

That's a hard one! He just made so many great films. From his better known films I find Shadow of a Doubt and Rebecca to be among his greatest. I also have a soft spot for Lifeboat. What a great concept! Put a bunch of actors in a row boat and carry a whole film with it. Only a master like Hitchcock could do it.

So many to choose from, I too loved Lifeboat, another fave is 39 Steps but my all-time favourite Hitchcock has to be Psycho.

I have yet to see both Lifeboat and Rebecca. Both are on my watchlist, but I haven't gotten around to them yet. Psycho is, of course, a great choice. What an atmospheric movie.

Psycho would be my favorite. Followed closely by Rear Window and Rope.

I love Marnie. Engaging characters, interesting story. I know it gets flak, but I've always thought this was a great movie.

Over the last couple of years our local renovated theater (from the silent era) has shown some Hitchcock films for Halloween. One of the first I went to was Psycho. Admittedly, I was one of the older people in there, but I was horrified when several people in the audience started laughing at Psycho. I wanted to stand up and shout: "There's no laughing at Psycho!" I think they were amused at how dated some of the scenes were. Was it their first time seeing anything in black and white? What they hell did they expect in a theater that has a working organ and occasionally shows silents? (Nobody laughed during Wings). These aren't really young people like a high school group or something.
So last year they show The Birds and I think surely nobody will laugh during this one. There were just a few times some people laughed inappropriately but the real gut wrencher was at the very end some girl hollered out "That was waste of ten dollars". The audience responded by applauding the movie. Maybe she had just been used to Van Diesel movies? Who knows? Anyway it was first two times I'd seen a Hitchcock film in a theater with an audience since my last one when they were new (maybe Torn Curtain or Frenzy). It was a real eye opener.
Oh, and I can't bring myself to name just one favorite. I'll have to think about it some more.

Psycho. Although my favourite Hitchcock period is the 1940s run (Rebecca, Foreign Correspondent, Shadow of a Doubt, Lifeboat, Notorious, Rope...).

Saboteur is my no. 1, and easily the most underrated of all his films.
After Saboteur, it would be North by Northwest and Rear Window.

My favorite is Rear Window for sure.
I've noticed that although Hitchcock is revered among film lovers and his name carries with it prestige even outside of film lovers, his movies are definitely not guaranteed to be liked by younger audiences. I recently turned 25 years old but I grew up watching older movies, including several of his (especially the Birds, I've seen it a dozen times throughout my life), so I'm used to them.
There's a difference in how older movies present themselves, a very palpable difference. If someone's not used to it, they can seem boring or even poorly made. Also because what audiences are exposed to now growing up with current films, many of the wows in older films... aren't as wowing in comparison to such an audience, to be blunt. I think the Birds especially could be underwhelming :/ It takes a while to get going, the characters aren't that likable or relatable, and the horror/thriller elements are a hit or mess amongst people I know.
I think if someone actually yells out at the end of a film that it was a waste of money, then they have no tact and you shouldn't worry much over their opinion.
