Vertigo (1958)
Deception, manipulation, fear, and obsession, are the cornerstones of what might be Hitchcock’s most disturbing film. A story of male romantic obsession, Vertigo is a psychological drama about a former detective whose obsessions with lost love begin to take over his life as his mind begins to deteriorate. Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak make an unforgettable screen couple that get lost in the maze of what’s real and what isn’t. While it wasn’t critically acclaimed at the time of its release, Vertigo is now considered to be one of Hitchcock’s most complex films: a disturbing tale of the dark things that lurk beneath the surface of human nature.
North by Northwest (1959)
A roller caster ride with Hitchcock at the controls, North by Northwest is the closest the Master of Suspense ever came to making an action movie. Full of his favorite themes (chance meetings, mistaken identity, voyeurism, and an icy-blonde femme fatale), the film follows the debonair and quick-thinking Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant), who after a case of mistaken identity, is tossed into one suspense-filled situation after another.
Psycho (1960)
The movie that gave millions of people a reason not to shower alone: what’s a Hitchcock ‘best of’ list without mention of Psycho? Few films have been analyzed as much as the tale of the voyeuristic young man with serious mother issues, and for good reason. The music, the setting, the camera work, and one of the most terrifying murder scenes ever shown on the screen, combine to make one of the most chilling films ever made. At a time when horror films were almost nonexistent, Psycho pushed the boundaries of violence, sexuality, and morality. Upon its release, the censors deemed Psycho obscene. Now almost 50 years later, Psycho is considered one of the director’s most lasting contributions to popular culture. Watching the famous creep-fest is a perverse pleasure for millions.
