Vertigo (1958)
Set in San Francisco, James Stewart portrays an acrophobic detective hired to trail a friend's suicidal wife (Kim Novak). After he successfully rescues her from a leap into the bay, he finds himself becoming obsessed with the beautifully troubled woman.
One of cinema's most chilling romantic endeavours: its fascinating myriad of haunting camera angles shot among some of San Francisco's renowned landmarks. This film is a must for collectors: Leonard Maltin gives Vertigo four stars and hails it as " A Genuinely great motion picture that demands multiple viewings."

Rebirth of a classic
It's certainly one of Hitchcock's classics. If you like Hitchcock, you'll like this one. The plot has an unexpected twist at the end, but if you watch the movie attentively, there are enough hints to let you lift the mystery. The pace of the movie takes it's time, so allow yourself to be patient and enjoy the details. For me as a video professional, it was very interesting to see in the special features how they restored the movie. And they did a truly amazing job.
