Strangers on a Train (Hitchcock) - 1951
I was surprised to see that in 1951, no one started a thread for this movie.
I watched my first Hitchcock movie today. I thought it was awesome. This is how suspense should be done in a movie. The villain was scary, some of the shots were amazing...I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more Hitchcock.
I didn't understand why, at the end
As I read on IMDB though, those are the two common nitpicks, and are very little. The ending was great.

Hitchcock himself didn't much like the police so that might explain the shooting. Refresh my memory what happens?

Based upon my viewing of classic films, reckless disregard for innocent bystanders didn't become a concern for cops until around 1975. In the old days, they used to run down crowded streets, firing guns indiscriminately at suspects who were clearly out of range of their dinky little handguns.

I have to thank Terror in the Aisles for introducing me to this one!
Shadow of a Doubt. My favorite Hitchcock film.
