Psycho is one of those rare classic movies that deserves and earns its pop culture status. There are even a few scenes in there that I hadn't seen or heard of before that are up there with the shower scene. Somehow, this movie is STILL suspenseful.

'Psycho' is a great movie, even by today's standards, but I cannot help but think how much more the movie would have appealed to me had merely ONE scene been omitted! It is still an extremely well-made (duuuh, it's Hitchcock, what else would one expect?) thriller, but the omission of that ONE scene would have made this movie my favourite of all time.

Cool.

I admire Psycho. I respect Psycho. But I wasn't scared by Psycho, and I can't like Psycho. This is probably Hitchcock's most famous film, and for me it is his most overrated. It simply hasn't aged as well as the man's other films. I understand the craft that went into this movie, why it is considered great. But I'd be lying to myself if I said that I liked it, because I was totally unmoved while watching it.

Really fantastic movie. I had a geniun scare at some point. The atmosphere, directing, acting, editing.. everything is great. Hitchcock is God

This is a classical thriler of hitchcock.Best seen of the movie is that where norman sit in jail and he don`t kill the bee.

could it be the best movie ever?

imagine that you didn't know that the mother was dead and norman dressed like her and killed those people.

Easily my third or fourth favorite Hitchcock film of all time (it's too damn hard to put it before "Vertigo" or "Shadow of a Doubt" for me personally), this is Hitch in his prime. From his willingness to kill the main character in the middle of the film to the incredibly creepy performance he manages to get out of Perkins, "Psycho" is a pillar of thriller/horror cinema.

The scene in the shower always scares the hell out of me.

Just shut it off at the hour and forty minute mark, before the scene at the station.

Just a classic in every sense of the word. This film probably gave inspiration to most of the grindhouse and horror classics to come. It still holds up well because of Hitchcock's talented eye for suspense. What makes this transcend the genre is that it's also an in depth character study that doesn't cop out at any point. A must see for film buffs.
