29. Vertigo

Alfred Hitchcock’s psychological thriller Vertigo consistently makes top 10 lists of all-time great films. A British Film Institute poll actually had it at number one, a spot typically reserved for Citizen Kane. Despite the incredible directing of Hitchcock and the intense performances of Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak, the film received only Art Direction and Sound awards, both of which are categories typically used to nominate genre films that don’t win the major prizes.
