Rebecca (1940)

From the “master of suspense” himself, Alfred Hitchcock, this 1940 film is the story of a young woman who marries a grieving widower only to find out that she must live in the shadow of his former wife who recently died mysterious death. It’s creepy yet enthralling, gothic yet romantic, filmed in stunning black & white. With incredible performances from Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine and Judith Anderson, this is just about everything you want in a classic movie.
