Vertigo
Vertigo is crazy. That is the best way that I can put it. James Stewart's acting definitely helps to make the film as great as it is. Bernard Herrman's film score is simply amazing as usual, possibly second only to his work on Psycho. This film employs the now classic "Vertigo" shot whenever Stewart is affected by his fear of heights. Stewart's obsession makes this film truly creepy, in a way that no film I have seen ever has. This film is Hitchcock's masterpiece, and features every aspect that makes his films so great from beginning to end. The cliffhanger at the end is the perfect ending to such a wild movie.
