The Very Best movie of 1960

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2014)

Perhaps Alfred Hitchcock's most acclaimed film Psycho is a film that should have won best picture, and best director instead of Billy Wilder winning both awards for his film that came out in that same year The Apartment. The movie tells the story of two of the most important characters in the film which begins with Marion Crane (played by Janet Leigh) a woman who stole $ 40,000 in cash to go see her boyfriend Sam (played by John Gavin) then after running into the police she goes to a car shop to borrow a car then on a rainy night goes to the Bates motel where she meets a man named Norman Bates (played by Anthony Perkins)who seems nice but really is a troubled psychotic maniac. Who then dresses up in his mother's clothes and ends up killing Marion in the most famous scene in the movie "The Shower Scene". Then a private investigator (played by Martin Balsam) and her sister (played by Vera Miles) search for her. When I was watching this film last night for the very first time I just couldn't take my eyes off the screen because of how scary and well done the film was. The performances were top notch from Leigh, Gavin, Perkins, Miles, Balsam, and especially John McIntire as the sheriff.
