"The Red Shoes" is a truly fantastic film. For some reason I have always associated it with the holiday season.

Your seventh recommendation for this month is the absolutely superb Peeping Tom. Look, I know it's no kind of hidden gem, nor is it a film that film lovers have forgotten about, but I still think more people should watch and love it. It's hailed as a classic for good reason. Pretty much a perfect 10/10 film for me.

Remembering Karlheinz Bohm, a.k.a. #CarlBoehm (1928-2014), the Austrian-German film and stage actor, born in Darmstadt #OnThisDay. He worked for Disney, Fassbinder and George Pal but best remembered as Mark Lewis, the lonely, disturbed would-be filmmaker / murderer in #MichaelPowell's remarkable #PeepingTom (1960).

Peeping Tom (1960), the serial killer/voyeurism movie that wrecked director Michael Powell's career. A superb movie that remains disturbing.
Like Hitchcock's Psycho (from the same year) it pushed the edge of the envelope as far as screen terror was concerned.
