Rebecca (1940)

*Spoiler warning*

Hitchcock's adapatation of Daphne du Maurier's romantic thriller, about the second Mrs de Winter struggling to live up to the image of the first glamorous socialite one, provides neat last minute outs for an abuser and body tamperer and literally concludes, "She was asking for it," but is thoroughly enjoyable and full of memorable moments, like the dreamy approach to Manderley, the amusing courtship that happens behind the back of  Edythe van Hopper, and that fiery ending.
