Psycho

Every time I see this film, I am more and more intrigued with the character of Norman Bates.  He just seems quiet and normal with a dominating mother who he cares for.  Its not until the ending it is revealed he's completely insane.  The music is so critical in Psycho with it alone building the suspense.  Watching the famous shower scene with and without music, there is such a huge difference.  One scene that I have always loved is when Norman is carefully covering up the murder that his "mother" had just committed.  The entire scene has no words and you are so focused on what he is doing making sure he cleans up every spot of blood.  At this point, you need to stop and realize that you are almost rooting for him to not be caught and successfully cover up the murder.
