When you think of great American directors, what are some names that come to mind? Let's see...Orson Wells, John Ford, etc. etc. And of course, you think of Alfred Hitchcock, which is awkward because he was actually British. But whatever.
Alfred Hitchcock is hands-down one of the most influential and prolific directors in American history. He was a total badass who not only contributed to the craft of filmmaking through innovative filmmaking techniques, but also made freakishly entertaining movies.
He's such a big name in film that you may have even questioned my credibility because it's taken me this long to write about one of his movies. Either way, Psycho is a film that has withstood the test of time that still haunts modern viewers.
