PSYCHO (1960). While this has lost a lot of luster due to overfamiliarity, rip offs and the frankly bland Vera Miles/John Gavin combo, this still is an all time classic and can only imagine the impact this had in 1960 (My Mom talked about how it just terrified her).
Still marvelous performances by Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh and Martin Balsam, great camera work, incredible Bernard Herrmann score and of course, three of the most frightening scenes ever.
Saw this the first time when I had just turned 11 and BIG impact, to be sure. It seemed the old Universals weren't as scary as I had remembered and many a night with the bathroom door locked >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))>
