The Top Classic Movies From The Last Century

Rebecca (1940)

Alfred Hitchock had a stronghold over the cinema industry in the 1930s and 1940s. Rebecca is a fantastic film that apparently didn't hold up with his other classics, but it was popular enough to get remade in 2020. The film was adapted from Daphne du Maurier's Gothic novel of the same name.
