One of the Alfred Hitchcock's most well known films. Also, probably best recognized by the iconic shower moment where **SPOILER ALERT** Marion Crane gets sliced and diced in a frightening, yet still erotic scene.
Has anyone ever looked at through Norman Bates' eyes? This guy just misses his mom, AND Crane had stolen $40,000 from her boss to marry her boyfriend. She was a criminal! Bates did all those tax-payers a solid by avoiding all those expensive court fees after her eventual apprehension.
Pretty incredible how this film is fifty years old, and still has staying power. It led the way in terms of how horror was shot, and the vibe is still duplicated after all this time. Janet Leigh (Crane) is beautiful, and the film's score with the screeching of the violins, cellos and other stringed instruments is chilling.
