30. Vertigo (1958) Alfred Hitchcocks daylight nightmare in which Jimmy Stewart plays a dupe, Kim Novak is the source of his despair, and when redemption seems almost in his grasp, tragedy repeats itself. Stewarts obsessed, mentally wounded Scottys twisted Pygmalion sequence in the second half of the film is almost too painful to watch. Bernard Hermanns score is haunting and memorable, and instead of the so-so trailer, I have subbed the opening credits, where you get to hear the main themes of his score. The way the tension of the opening theme is resolved (at the 1:33 mark) is especially noteworthy: youtube/watch?v=4CZfSc6nJ8U
