    If you want to watch some old movies that are genuinely special, look up the movies that Alfred Hitchcock made in the 40s and 50s, both color and B&W. I’m especially fond of the bunch he did at the end of the 50s - The Man Who Knew Too Much, North By Northwest, Vertigo, Psycho, and my favorite movie of all time, Rear Window. A few other really interesting ones are Strangers On A Train, Lifeboat, Dial M for Murder, Notorious, Rebecca, etc.

    Absolutely mind-blowing, they’re so good. His stuff from the 30s and the 60s is okay, but his middle period was incredible.

        Vertigo is often considered his best, but it’s one of my least favorite among his best. Rear Window is my favorite movie, and I like The Man Who Knew Too Much, Lifeboat, and Stranger on a Train a lot, too. I’ve heard that someone is working on a remake of Strangers on a Train.
