Pop focus: Psycho
"Vertigo" may be Alfred Hitchcock's best film. "Rear Window," however, is my favorite. But the scariest is 1960's "Psycho." Any film that can make something as relaxing and pleasant as a hot shower after a long road trip frightening and sinister is coming from a dark, twisted and horrific place.

The project is based on the non-fiction book by Stephen Rebello that tracks how Hitchcock, at the height of his game as a director, decided to make a "lowly" horror movie. No studio wanted to touch it initially, so Hitchcock scrounged for financing by himself. The movie, of course, became one of his biggest hits and one of the most influential of all time.
