5. Psycho
Today it’s considered a horror masterpiece and one of the most thrilling movies of all time. Critics today love the movie, but when it was first released it was reviled. The shocking nature of the movie and the filming techniques used by Alfred Hitchcock proved to be too much for many of the critics at the time of the movie’s release, in 1960.
It really was a movie that was ahead of its time. However, things quickly changed. The amazing audience response to the film changed the film’s critical perception almost immediately and Psycho ended up being nominated for four Academy Awards.
