Look at that, you picked some of my favourites! ^_^
My personal Highlights at this festival:
I absolutely agree about "After the Thin Man" - first Stewart movie I ever saw and I've been a fan ever since. (And you're right: it is the best in the series.)
And "Bell, Book and Candle" is charming. Of course it's anti-feminist, it's a 1950s movie - I don't mind, it's part of its time, so what...
"Vertigo", "Rear Window" (and "Rope" ^_^ ) - some of the best Hitchcocks ever. I think he did his best work with James Stewart and Cary Grant.
He was the best at low-key comedy: "Shop around the Corner" and "Harvey" are perfect.
