Yes, exactly those films!

That's true. Savini's gore effects are excellent, but the grey and blue zombies clearly look as if the actors have been painted.

I'd have loved to be there watching that double feature as both films are superbly made, but slightly different. There's a bit more humour in Rear Window than Vertigo, but the scripting, design and direction in Vertigo are in a class of their own and it's Hitchcock's most accomplished picture. I feel like doing that double bill on my own one evening now!
Seeing it in 70 mm must have been a great visual experience and (I think) would have more information than you could fit on a dual layer BD.
Just in terms of Hitchcock's films, my favourite is Psycho, but his best is Vertigo.
