Since its inception in 2019,The Criterion Channelhas been a goldmine of classic cinema for movie lovers.
The film still stands as a masterfully heart-wrenching tale of morality that exposes its inherent greyness.
Plus it has Marlon Brandos iconic I coulda been a contenda speech.
And its a must-watch for that alone.

Not typical Hitchcockian suspense fare,Vertigotells a heartbreaking story of loss, grief, nostalgia, and love.
It is essential viewing for any cinephile and rightfully deserves its status as the greatest of all time.
A masterclass in editing and direction, that scene alone makesThe French Connectionworth viewing.
