Rear Window
Starring: James Stewart and Grace Kelley
Plot: While stuck in a wheel chair, Jeff (James Stewart) uses his photography skills to spy on his neighbors in NYC. While doing so, he discovers romantic entanglements and a murder.
Why We Love It: Alfred Hitchcock explored the voyeuristic aspects of the urban dweller and made us ask ourselves how well we know our neighbors. Every urban sophisticate can relate to the city's heat.
