Hitchcock had a great eye for a good story and a great ear for dialog, Tarantino has the latter, but not the former
One thing Hitchcock did capture in a number of his films was actors using the "transatlantic accent" which was a 1940's/early 50's phenomenon which disappeared when travel by liner from the Old World to the New and back was replaced by airliners; I think he fully understood, and drew on, the best of influences from both camps
Many of his films are careful snapshots of the speech and attitudes of their times, and can be looked at that way rather as Tarantinos "Yo Bro" film dialogs will define the mutha tongue of the 1990's
