Discussion: Is Psycho one of the best films ever?

B'Day

Not American Psycho. Although that's in my top 3.
But this film changed cinema forever. Let's not forget the ICONIC shower scene.
Hitchock

Cain

Yes, it's truly iconic

Rider

Of course. Hitchcock was a genius.

I love Vertigo more, tho.

UFO

YES! omg I need to watch it again

Go ahead! I just discovered Pyscho II is on Netflix so I'm watching that right now. Although it got poor reviews, it'll be cool to see Norman Bates in colour

I've only watched Strangers on a Train and that movie with that Uncle Charlie. Shadow of a Doubt! That's it

WATCH Vertigo!

genetic fail

Yes! The storytelling was ON POINT! Too bad films nowadays focus on the artists and effects and etc. rather than the storytelling

SylMacPer

No, Hitchcock has better films than Psycho!

Citrus

Yes, horror and overall cinema classic

alfonso12

Yes. I like rear window better tho.

Bates Motel is really nice btw.

private radio

Yes

Spawning Bates Motel too

ultraviolento

Yes, even though I prefer Rear Window

Blur

It's my favourite from him. There's really specific mood and alchemy that took place during the film, and you just couldn't wait to know what was going to happen next. Also, Anthony Perkins is one of the best actor of all time.

Roman Holiday

Yes, absolutely.

Anthony Perkins is so dreamy.

Edit: And yeah, if you haven't seen Bates Motel you should. The actors are amazing.

ot: ofc

Marq

Yes, it is a bonafide classic!

conatus

Yes, it's a classic, and the fact it's not even Hitchcock's best is a testament to his ability as a director.

Dark Miracles

V iconic. Watch "North By Northwest"!

DevonDreams

YES!!

Girlicious

yes it's iconic but in modern day it's not very scary... it's actually sort of boring...

but it's iconic and has inspired plenty of other films.
