You want one reason to go see Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo? In 2013 The American Film Institute called it the best mystery film of all time. More importantly, it's my favorite movie. Ever. Jimmy Stewart plays a detective with a serious fear of heights tasked with tailing a trophy wife who may or may not be possessed. He quickly finds himself obsessed with her, and unsure of what is real and what is fiction. Kim Novak's performance is the ultimate Hitchcock femme fatale; less hot-and-cold than blazing-and-frigid. Saul Bass's legendary title sequence inspired the credits to the television series Mad Men. Dear readers, it does not get better than Vertigo.
