- 'Vertigo' Of all the great Alfred Hitchcock movies released over so many years, Vertigo could well be the greatest of the greats. It's one of Hitchcock's most unsettling and thought-provoking films, as well as arguably one of his darkest and most mature.
- 'Elevator to the Gallows' Elevator to the Gallows might well be the most effortlessly cool crime movie ever made, with a certain amount of style and class that's ensured it's aged extremely well.
- 'Touch of Evil' Though some would say Orson Welles peaked with his directorial debut, 1941's Citizen Kane, he made plenty of other noteworthy movies after.
- 'The Hidden Fortress' When looking over the great samurai epics made by Akira Kurosawa, it's his 1954 film, Seven Samurai, that most people will point to as being his best (understandably so).
