As one of the fathers of the thriller genre, Alfred Hitchcock mastered the art of suspense cinema through classics like Vertigo, Psycho and Rear Window. Focusing on themes of paranoia, mystery and deceit, his movies are among the most influential in film, with countless writers and directors seeking to channel his style. While many creators fall short of this, others have delivered excellent films that follow in the legend's footsteps.

Considering how many tropes Hitchcock helped pioneer in cinema, it's almost impossible to make a truly good mystery movie without drawing some parallels with the director. While some directors intentionally seek to evoke his best movies, others pursue original stories, only for their own love or inspiration from the creator to seep into its style. Regardless, people who love a good Hitchcock movie have plenty of great choices to watch.

Get Out tells the story of Chris Washington, a black photographer, as he accompanies his white girlfriend to meet her wealthy family. After he arrives, he finds himself outside his comfort zone as he's met with awkward conversation and finds that the black locals all act suspiciously. As his stay grows more disturbing, he begins to realize his affluent hosts have disturbing plans for him.

Get Out is a great example of a modern director being influenced by an old-school director without allowing that inspiration to prevent him from finding his own unique style. Combining modern social commentary with horror mystery, the film became an overnight sensation with modern film buffs for its claustrophobic tone, unique camerawork and brilliant acting. In effect, the movie was its generation's Psycho, right down to the twist people couldn't stop discussing.

Snake Eyes revolves around a corrupt Atlantic City cop, Rickey Santoro, as he finds himself at the heart of an assassination plot and rigged boxing match. As he tries to investigate the attack, he searches for a vital witness while teasing the truth behind a conspiracy. At every twist, the director's camera work and slow unraveling of its intricate plot channels classic Hitchcock.

Brian De Palma has made no secret of his admiration and homage to Alfred Hitchcock, and Snake Eyes is one of the best examples of this. Using alternate perspectives from its characters to bring its mystery into focus, the film's flawed hero and murder plot are perfectly evocative of the Golden Age director. If anything else, the film's inclusion one of Nicolas Cage's wildest performances makes for an engaging, must-see story.

Frantic follows the arrival of married doctors, Richard and Sondra Walker, to Paris to attend a medical conference. However, when he discovers that his wife is missing, Richard desperately seeks the assistance of the police, only to find himself ignored at every turn. When he seeks the aid of a Parisian drug smuggler, he descends into a deeper web of deceit, mistrust and panic.

Harrison Ford starred in several brilliant thrillers, from The Fugitive to Witness, with Frantic being among his most criminally underrated. Rather than lazily falling back on predictable tropes, the film keeps its audience as confused and panicked as its hero. For people who loved the darker Hitchcock thrillers like Vertigo and Frenzy, the movie is a brilliant choice -- and features some of Ford's best acting.

What Lies Beneath focuses on a New England homemaker, Claire Spencer, as she begins to suspect that her neighbor has been killed by her husband. When she's visited by a ghost, she becomes all the more insistent -- only to be shocked when she finds the woman alive and well. As the haunting continues, she is driven to try and find answers to the spirit's identity and who killed her.

From start to finish, What Lies Beneath owns its Hitchcockian style, effectively transitioning through the plot lines of various classics, from Rear Window to Psycho. Whether for people who love a good supernatural horror or murder mystery thriller, the film is one big tour of everything that made Hitchcock's movies fun. With Harrison Ford thrown into the mix, the film is a genuinely underrated piece of 2000s cinema.

Disturbia focuses on a high school kid, Kale, as he's put on house arrest with an ankle monitor for assaulting one of his teachers. Trapped in his house, he begins to spy on his neighbors for entertainment. What begins as harmless fun soon sends him down a path of paranoia as he believes his neighbor, Robert Turner, is a serial killer. Turning to his friend and nextdoor neighbor for help, he frantically sets out to prove the man's guilt from the confines of his bedroom.

In effect, Disturbia is a teen-based modern remake of Rear Window, playing on the same sense of paranoia as Hitchcock's iconic mystery. The movie takes everything great about the 1954 classic and amps it up to a tense mystery movie that borders on horror, delivering plenty of jump scares for fans.

Set at the height of Al Capone's power over Prohibition Era Chicago, The Untouchables focuses on Eliot Ness as he forms his crack squad of honest cops to bring down the crime boss. With an army of henchmen and the corrupt Chicago Police Department on his payroll, the gangster proves a tough adversary. However, as Ness and his men prove effective, they get a target painted on their backs, escalating the war between law and order and Capone's Mafia.

If any movie proves Brian De Palma's undying respect for Hitchcock, it's The Untouchables, whose slow-motion camera work and Noir-inspired score immerses its audience in the world of Al Capone. Exploring a dramatized look at the real downfall of America's most notorious gangster, the movie is among the best law enforcement films of all time -- as well as a stunning homage to Hitchcock thrillers.

Basic Instinct begins with the murder of rock star Johnny Boz, leading Detective Nick Curran to investigate. As he takes on the case, he encounters an intelligent and mysterious woman, Catherine Tramell, with whom he begins a relationship -- despite her status as suspect number one. Realizing he's playing with fire, Curran finds himself torn between desire and the truth.

Combining Hitchcockian mystery with erotic thriller, Basic Instinct remains one of the most controversial films of its decade for a variety of reasons -- not uncommon of its sub-genre. The film keeps its audience guessing at every turn, despite the viewer's predisposition to suspect Sharon Stone's iconic femme fatale of the crime. The film contains several themes Hitchcock explored in his thrillers but brings them to full fruition in a world unrestrained by censorship.

Duel tells the story of a commuter, David Mann, as his long drive across the desert highway is interrupted by harassment from a mysterious truck driver. Using his vehicle to try and run Mann off the road, he refuses to let up, instead pursuing the protagonist for miles across the open highway. In what has since become a genre-defining story, Spielberg takes the concept of cat and mouse to the open road, making for a horror-thriller perfect for the '70s.

Although not directly evocative of any particular Hitchcock film, Duel channels the intensity of movies like The Birds and Psycho with the suspense and mystery of Rear Window. Here, the unseen driver of the truck adds to the feeling of panic and confusion felt by David Mann, immersing the audience in the same frenzied experience of a Hitchcock story.

Cape Fear begins when a violent convict, Max Cady, is released from prison and sets out to intimidate his old defense attorney, Sam Bowden. Having realized the lawyer intentionally withheld evidence, allowing him to be incarcerated, Cady makes a point of trying to destroy his life -- eventually escalating into violence. When the harassment and threats against his family prove too much, Bowden desperately looks for a way to stop the criminal before he can go too far.

Many have likened Martin Scorsese's mystery movies to the work of Alfred Hitchcock, and nowhere is this truer than Cape Fear. This is undoubtedly in part due to it being a remake of a '50s movie that, while not directed by Hitchcock, was certainly crafted in a period defined by his work. From the movie's cinematography to its imposing score, it's a brilliant revenge story for fans of old-school thrillers.

The Usual Suspects begins when a ship is blown up, leading authorities to suspect a criminal, Keaton, of being involved. In response, survivor Verbal Kint is taken in for questioning, where he recounts meeting Keaton and three other criminals in a line-up, teaming up soon after. As he leads an FBI agent through the events leading up to the explosion, he tells the tale of a ruthless crime boss, Keyser Söze, who he claims was responsible for the attack.

Few movies have captured the intrigue and mystery of a Hitchcock thriller as well as The Usual Suspects. While it doesn't follow the direction of the Hollywood legend, it's a natural follow-up for fans of that era of suspense cinema, contributing to cinema in much the same way movies like Psycho and Strangers On A Train did. Before its release, cinema had its share of twist endings, but its success pushed the genre towards big reveals in a way never before seen and spawned a long line of imitators -- all seeking to deliver as iconic a twist as that of Keyser Söze.
