This week, we watch Jimmy Stewart sit in a chair and stare out his back window. This film holds up as a tight thriller, which blends mystery with comedy in a fantastic way. It doesn't feel like a film that is nearly celebrating its 70th birthday. Rear Window (1954), directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

This week, we watch the "narrative" / feature length music video by one of the biggest bands of all time, Pink Floyd. Even if you're not the biggest Floyd fan, there is a lot to appreciate in this arthouse smattering of imagery and animation. The Wall (1982), directed by Alan Parker.

This week, we watch the sci-fi / horror / action masterpiece by the director that would go on to have three of the top five grossing movies of all time.
