Rope is a monumental film in production and storytelling. I am gripped every time I watch it, and of course, it was filmed all in one shot (I've heard stories that it was actually filmed in a few shots, but still, that's impressive) to make it more reflective of the play it is based on.

It was filmed in 10 shots or so I think, but it was edited to make it look like a single continuous shot. It's pretty easy to see the cuts though, but nevertheless nicely done.

Every other segment ends by panning against or tracking into an object—a man's jacket blocking the entire screen, or the back of a piece of furniture, for example. In this way, Hitchcock effectively masked half the cuts in the film. However, at the end of 20 minutes (two magazines of film make one reel of film on the projector in the movie theater), the projectionist—when the film was shown in theaters—had to change reels. On these changeovers, Hitchcock cuts to a new camera setup, deliberately not disguising the cut.

Ok, so a full list:

1. Rope A
2. Rear Window A
3. North by Northwest A
4. Dial M for Murder A-
5. The Man Who Knew Too Much B+
6. Vertigo B
7. Psycho B-
8. The Birds D

I would say the opposite. Psycho and Vertigo are the well known ones (and The Birds). Rear Window is the actual good one (it's also well known, but less so than Psycho and Vertigo).
