Rear Window, directed by master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock, centers on photographer L. B. Jeffries (Jimmy Stewart) who is confined to a wheelchair and spends his time spying on his neighbors from his apartment window. He is in a lackluster relationship with a model (Grace Kelly) who he is ready to split up with. Suddenly, he witnesses suspicious behavior from a neighbor of his and involves her in the plot. This brings them closer together as a couple but also exposes them to danger. This film is highly entertaining and one of Hitchcock's best.

Rashomon 1950
Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon is a post-modernist masterpiece that centers around a mysterious murder of a samurai and the rape of his wife which is told from multiple perspectives by the various witnesses who saw it occur. The movie jumps around in a non-linear fashion, depicting the viewpoints of the different characters. It shows the unreliable nature of memory when it is wrapped up in the emotions and motives of those who have them. The cinematography in the movie is stunning. This is one of my favorite Kurosawa film that I highly recommend!
