One of the most shocking films of all time, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho changed the thriller genre forever. Named #1 on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Thrills list, this notorious film has become a cultural phenomenon.

When larcenous real estate clerk Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) goes on the lam with a wad of cash and hopes of starting a new life, she ends up at the notorious Bates Motel, where manager Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) cares for his housebound mother.

Reviews
"What makes “Psycho” immortal, when so many films are already half-forgotten as we leave the theater, is that it connects directly with our fears: Our fears that we might impulsively commit a crime, our fears of the police, our fears of becoming the victim of a madman, and of course our fears of disappointing our mothers." – Roger Ebert
