  Psycho 1960

  Added

  I think Psycho was an cool more horror filled/horrifying Hitchcock film. I loved the cool credit scene at the beginning of the movie that gave off a sort of creepy and suspenseful vibe like that beginning of Vertigo.

  Breathless 1960

  Battleship Potemkin 1925

  Added

  In Battleship Potemkin, at around 29 minutes into the film there is a shot of a single sailor dangling from rope off the ship about to fall into the water and most likely drown, the next shot shows a collision of a different image where the water is full of his fellow sailors coming to save him. This image collides full vs. empty and displays a feeling a brotherhood and comradery where even though it is only a single sailor drowning a whole crew jumps in to save that one person; the alliance of the working man, a very common message in soviet russia.

  Battleship Potemkin 1925

  Added

  One example of continuity is when the sailers throw a officer off the boat, there is a shot of his glasses dangling off a part of the ship to establish that he has gone and overboard. The next shot it the soldiers excitedly celebrating the fact that they have succeeded in overthrowing the ship and the officers that oppressed them and made them eat rotten food (the man who had the glasses) are gone. There is an established connection between the liberation of the soldiers and the glasses being abandoned by the officer going overboard.
