Rebecca (1940)

Alfred Hitchock had a stronghold over the cinema industry in the 1930s and 1940s. Rebecca is a fantastic film that apparently didn't hold up with his other classics, but it was popular enough to get remade in 2020. The film was adapted from Daphne du Maurier's Gothic novel of the same name.

In the story, a woman is slowly unraveling her husband's dastardly past and learns that he had a wife who passed away. The movie has been remade with the same plotline a few times, but Ben Wheatley most recently redid the story and cast Lily James as Rebecca herself. It's an eerie classic that keeps on giving!
