While there are some excellent AHPs, I believe Hitchcock, like Serling, was more comfortable with the half hour format.
Most of my favorite episodes have been listed already, so I'll mention one that is sometimes overlooked: "Arthur", starring Laurence Harvey as a New Zealand chicken farmer who has a problem with his fiancee, and comes up with a wickedly clever way to resolve that problem. Hitchcock himself directed (there's a very effective use of sound effects) but it's Harvey who steals the honors. Those who think of him as cold and dour will be surprised at how amusingly theatrical he is here. It's probably my favorite Harvey performance.
