Jamaica Inn


1930's Hitchcock?  Yes please.  Jamaica Inn tells the tale of early pirates off the English coastline who shipwreck nearby boats, kill all aboard and plunder.  It's slow at times and too cutty at others.  It can't help it really, film was just getting started.  Here's the wondrous thing, it's early in Hitchcock's career - but it's still creepy.  Sure, his later classics are more finessed but this one is dark and raw which makes it kind of special I think.  Great for a dark and stormy night.
