Vertigo
One of Hitchcock’s favorite films and often voted one of the greatest films ever made, Vertigo stars James Stewart as an ex-police officer who suffers from an intense fear of heights. He becomes obsessed with the hauntingly beautiful woman (Kim Novak) he has been hired to trail, but all is not as it seems. Hitchcock's tense, compelling narrative, complete with iconic San Francisco locations, is widely considered to be one of his masterworks.
