Logline: San Franciscan Detective Scottie (James Stewart) is hired to spy on an old friend’s estranged wife, Madeleine. However, much to the detriment of his sanity, she lives in a high-rise building and he’s…well, acrophobic. What’s worse, she appears a bit loony.
Memorable Moments: Ultimately, the bizarre, entire second-half of the movie that unfolds after Scottie saves Madeleine from suicide.
Why People Love It: Very few dispute Hitchcock’s firm grip on the thriller/suspense genre of decades-past. Vertigo is a highly-stylized thriller and is oft considered one of Hitchcock’s best, most shocking flicks.
Best Quote: Tom Helmore (Gavin Elster): “Scottie, do you believe that someone out of the past–someone dead–can enter and take possession of a living being?”
