Vertigo

A woman is possessed and her husband asks a friend of his (who is a retired police detective) to follow her because he thinks that she is possessed and doesn't want to commit her to a hospital until he is sure.
The woman thinks that she is Carlotta Valdes (who died at 26). This woman is also 26 and attempts to kill herself by jumping in to a river. She finally manages to kill herself by throwing herself off of the church tower.
The man then finds another lover and he takes her to the top of the tower so that he can re live the  event and make everything that was wrong right by stopping this woman from jumping. Unfortunately, a nun appears in the shadows because she heard voices on the tower and the woman steps backwards in fear and falls out the window.... so i guess his reliving the event didn't help him much.

I thought it was a great film and again, something totally different to what I expected. It was more like rear window than psycho, which I wasn't expecting, but nonetheless it was a great film and I encourage anyone out there that hasn't seen Hitchcock films to start watching them!
