I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

#48 Rear Window

1954
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: James Stewart, Grace Kelly

James Stewart is stuck in a wheelchair with a broken leg and gets nosy with his neighbors. He ends up convincing himself based on circumstance that one of his neighbors killed his wife, and gets those around him involved in the tale.  It's Hitchcock, so you know it's good... filmed perfectly, with perfect lighting.  The movie builds in suspense, right up to the very end.  Side note: how pretty is Grace Kelly? It's crazy!

Trivia: All of the sound in the film is diegetic, meaning that all the music, speech and other sounds all come from within the world of the film [with the exception of non-diegetic orchestral music heard in the first three shots of the film]. 

 Up next #47- A Streetcar Named Desire
