You don't make dozens of films under the direction of artists like Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin and Jean Renoir without gathering some educated opinions about what makes a good movie. We asked Norman Lloyd (left in photo from Hitchcock's Saboteur) to review his 65-year acting career and highlight the films he considers the very best among them. He clearly has a certain vintage in mind -- with one notable exception, all his selections are from his early years as an actor, when Hitchcock and Chaplin were at the top of their game.
Lloyd's Favorite Lloyd Pictures

• A Walk in the Sun
• Spellbound
• The Flame and the Arrow
• Limelight
• Dead Poets Society
Besides starring in several of Hitchock's films, Lloyd was a producer and director on the TV series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, so he's very well-steeped in the director's craft. His favorite of the master's suspenses? Psycho. Even though he doesn't believe it's a typical Hitchcock flick.
