Strangers on a Train
Alfred Hitchcock's 1951 adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel Strangers on a Train follows two men who meet on a train and devise a plan to murder someone in each of their lives. The film has been called a "magnificent absurdist crime drama" with suspense that builds "relentlessly, almost sickeningly." The cinematographer, Robert Burks, was nominated for an Oscar.
Badlands
Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen star in this 1970s crime drama as Holly and Kit, respectively. After a conflict between Holly and her father (Warren Oates) ends in violence, she and Kit are forced to flee their dead-end town, evading the authorities as they travel through the Midwest to the Badlands of Montana. Spacek said shooting the film changed the way she thought about filmmaking.
