    1. Not a fan of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (the film, love the play though), forgot to add Rosemary's Baby and The Birds, need to watch Army of Shadows. Love your other choices though, especially giving the win to A Patch of Blue for 1965.

    1. Now that'd be something haha :P Will get that sorted! But perhaps Jack Lemmon as Norman Bates? Walter Matthau as Milton Arbogast?

    2. Lemmon as Bates would be quite something.
