Hitchcock movies
Damn do I ever enjoy watching Alfred Hitchcock movies! They're packed with stunning visuals. I really dig how he can make a scene in daylight absolutely creepy without dialogue, even without the characters moving much. I'm thinking of one scene in "I Confess" when the bad guy is just standing in a doorway in broad daylight. The mood is just hair raising. I haven't seen it yet but "Strangers on a Train" has the famous tennis sequence with a similar mood. Speaking of creepy, how about the maid in "Rebecca"?
In films like "Shadow of a Doubt" the clues are all there for you in the beginning. It's fun to see how they all fall into place over the course of the movie -- there's always a good twist. "Shadow of a Doubt" also features a cigar smoking villain who's never without a pocket full of coronas.
"Rope" takes place almost entirely within a few rooms of an apartment but it's still riveting.
North by Northwest and Rear Window are probably my favorite two.
