A Boy's Best Friend - Psycho (2/12) Movie CLIP (1960) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) gets to know Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock was already famous as the screen's master of suspense (and perhaps the best-known film director in the world) when he released Psycho and forever changed the shape and tone of the screen thriller. From its first scene, in which an unmarried couple balances pleasure and guilt in a lunchtime liaison in a cheap hotel (hardly a common moment in a major studio film in 1960), Psycho announced that it was taking the audience to places it had never been before, and on that score what followed would hardly disappoint. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) is unhappy in her job at a Phoenix, Arizona real estate office and frustrated in her romance with hardware store manager Sam Loomis (John Gavin). One afternoon, Marion is given $40,000 in cash to be deposited in the bank. Minutes later, impulse has taken over and Marion takes off with the cash, hoping to leave Phoenix for good and start a new life with her purloined nest egg. 36 hours later, paranoia and exhaustion have started to set in, and Marion decides to stop for the night at the Bates Motel, where nervous but personable innkeeper Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) cheerfully mentions that she's the first guest in weeks, before he regales her with curious stories about his mother. There's hardly a film fan alive who doesn't know what happens next, but while the shower scene is justifiably the film's most famous sequence, there are dozens of memorable bits throughout this film. The first of a handful of sequels followed in 1983, while Gus Van Sant's controversial remake, starring Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche, appeared in 1998.

HIT US UP:

[TheGuyThatsAwesome]

Anthony Perkins gives an absolutely incredible performance as Norman, in this scene in particular. His body language, line delivery, and reactions to Janet Leigh's dialog are all exceptional.

[erikaromee]

"Oh, I do, but I say I don't."

[sarahgallahar]

A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly...

[UncannyValleyVideos]

My GOD he nails it as Bates. You completely believe that he's a killer, His body language, his deliveries...it's like watching an interview with a actual serial killer.

[gabbykingmusic]

This scene breaks my heart. The 'traps' quote is one of the most heart-wrenching movie quotes I know.

[OmgItsZippy]

Not going to lie, this guy is really handsome. if he still alive with that face i'm sure all girls will love him.

[BernerCheifs]

Best performance in a horror movie. Ever.

[throwaway]

Everyone mentioned how Anthony is so attractive, and I think it's awesome they chose him for a role like this. It adds to the fear, to think that an attractive, polite, decent looking man is also a batshit crazy, murdering psychopath..
There is precedent for this though.. Ted Bundy, lured women in with a false sense of decency and often by portraying himself as hurt, and in need of help. After he was caught, women were proposing to him while he was awaiting trial.. Be careful out there, ladies.. Lol

[joelm]

Everyone stop saying be looks like Andrew Garfield. Andrew Garfield looks like him

[jameswilliamson]

"we're all in our private traps"...

there is such a truth in what he is saying in this i think.

[Jollysweets]

the moment he said "a boy's best friend is his mother" I would have packed up and left right then! XD

[carlyuks]

I was really pleased when Bastille added this on the song

[Kerriangel]

OK if a guy ever tells me his best friend is his mother; I am immediately considering the idea that he has a split personality and is possibly a serial killer

[brotherhood]

One lesson I learned from Psycho: You must become independent of your parents if you want to develop yourself in life. Loving your parents is obviously necessary, but never become too dependent on them.
Norman Bates has never got over his mother, and look at him now...

[alishae.]

Anthony Perkins was very handsome. Just saying.

[ftomi]

-i was born in mine, i dont mind it anymore
-but you should, you should mind it
-ohh I DO, BUT I SAY I DON'T

this quote is so true for a lot of things, and the way he say that "ooh i do, but i say i don't" is so awesome, if u didn't see this film yet, it's time too watch, its from 1960 but i think it's way better than paranormal activity or some 21th century's thriller/horror
and this qoute is memorable

[levinix]

Norman Bates: "A boy's best friend is his mother."

*Jason Voorhees approves of this message.*

[freya]

Why don't they make films like this anymore :(

[Johanna]

Anthony Perkins made the role his own. Smiles that are detached from the staring eyes... He's brilliant.

[mrkeno]

I cant believe that Perkins did not get nominated for Psycho. That role could not have been played better
