I also think these 2 films have a much deeper meaning and subtext than the rest of his work. His characters are usually cool and have fun dialogue but only in Vertigo and Shadow of a Doubt does he put the importance of the characters above the plot itself. Hitchcock is one of the greatest directors ever but my main problem with him is that he usually puts suspense and an intricate plot above characters. Personally, I would only put Vertigo above it. It was certainly a damn fine choice.In my opinion, Shadow of a Doubt is one of Hitchcock's greatest films. Whenever Hitchcock was asked in interviews, 'What is your favourite film from your filmography?' His response was "Shadow of a Doubt". It is such a pleasure to watch these film elements unfold because I had fun comparing some scenes from the film with the future films it inspired. Many Thrillers since have been inspired by its modern writing, pacing, and cinematography. This is just one of many parts that make 'Shadow of a Doubt' so brilliant because when all is said and done, this film was a game changer. I'm not exaggerating, this film is home to, quite possibly, the smartest female lead character at the time of its release. It continues to be well understood and enjoyed in both the present and the future because of its smart characters and script. This 'Shadow of a Doubt' is a masterpiece.
