For our first lesson, I introduce you to the greatest film ever made, Psycho. Some may say The Godfather, morons will tell you Citizen Kane because some other moron told them that, others might even say such bullshit like Titanic. The fact is that Psycho has the greatest combination of acting, directing, writing, and music than any movie ever made, and its really not even close.
Alfred Hitchcock made a lot of great films, but this is his finest. Made on a small budget with the crew from his television show, Hitchcock changed the face of horror forever. He also introduced the idea of killing your star in the 1st half of the film, something that should have been done to many other stars thereafter. If you haven't seen this yet, go rent it or wait for it on cable. Also, a word to the wise, stay away from the new version starring Anne Heche and Vince Vaughn. Its not worth your time.
