M (1931)
This excellent early film by director Fritz Lang and starring Peter Lorre is a classic thriller. It’s the story of a serial child killer on the loose whose crimes are disrupting things so much the "Mob" is as interested as the police in solving the case and catching "M". Sequences and suspense play out like an early Hitchcock film including memorable imagery and a trial scene with speech near the end that make this a "must see" for anyone who has yet to see it.
