2. Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989)

The 1989 hit indie drama ‘Sex, Lies, and Videotape’ is also the debut feature of director Steven Soderbergh.

1. Rear Window (1954)

You may be intrigued by the concepts of voyeurism and gaze. But when it comes to probing and prying, perhaps no director has used the outsider perspective as uncannily as Alfred Hitchcock. This mystery thriller ‘Rear Window’ revolves around Jeff (James Stewart), whose interest in his neighbor and the neighbor’s bedridden wife exposes a sinister truth. Regarded as one of the best ones spun out of Hitchcock’s sprawling oeuvre, the movie is also recognized for its cinematic depiction of scopophilia.
