Psycho. Spielberg got better. Hitchcock never was.

Psycho.

Not close at all.

More because it's that great or because Jaws isn't that good?

I love love love both of these films, but I had to go with Jaws. I've just watched it so many times. It's easily in my top 10 favourites and Psycho, as amazing as it is, just isn't.

Another awesome matchup Pixote.

I went with Jaws b/c I'm on edge almost the entirety of that film, whereas Psycho only freaks me out near the end.

Jaws for me. That body floating out of the boat gets me every single time I watch it.

But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.
