Film: Peeping Tom
This is a fantastic movie. I almost can't believe how good. Maybe it just caught me at the right moment or something. Sure, it was made in 1960, so it suffers from being a bit dated. But it came out 3 months before Psycho -- one of the most influential films of all time -- and to me, it blows Psycho out of the water.
As a double feature, it could be shown with any number of movies. You could do a British pairing of protagonist as serial killer movies from the 1960s with The Collector. You could pair it with Psycho. You could pair it with any of DePalma's voyeur films - Blow Out, Body Double. You could pair it with 8 1/2 and other movies about the world of filmmaking. Man...just goes to show...you can still be surprised and delighted by the movies. Even old ones.
