1954 Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Professional photographer L.B. 'Jeff' Jeffries breaks his leg while getting an action shot at an auto race. Confined to his New York apartment, he spends his time looking out of the rear window observing the neighbors. When he begins to suspect that a man across the courtyard may have murdered his wife, Jeff enlists the help of his high society fashion-consultant girlfriend and his visiting nurse to investigate.

The universal dilemma: what if the most beautiful person in the world wants to sleep with you but you really just want to spy on your neighbors
grace kelly literally does some proper hardcore parkour up a building in a floaty summer dress and still looks like an angelic goddess while doing it
I relate to jeffries a lot because I too would jump to the most dramatic conclusion after seeing something mildly suspicious
Like L.B. Jefferies, you can't help but look. The cinema, in a nutshell, is a voyeuristic lifestyle. Every time those lights go down, every time new characters are introduced, and every time a frame does by; the collective audience is being drawn deeper into another world. In the best movies, you feel different and you know more about the world as the final shot rolls around.
Rear Window, one of Alfred Hitchcock's finest works, is an utterly incredible tale of voyeurism in miniature. Every open window in the blistering apartment complex that Hitchcock's camera resides in leads to another character, another emotion, another scene, and another mystery. The suspense, the humor, the direction, the music, gorgeous Grace Kelly, James Stewart…
thinking about how much of a serve a wes anderson remake of this would be yup i would like to see it
Man is tormented and distracted by competing visions of married life and his own future as the hottest woman on the planet begs to have sex with him.
Jimmy Stewart is a real asshole in this movie.
