On Hitchcock's insistence, "No One ... BUT NO ONE ... Will Be Admitted To The Theatre After The Start Of Each Performance Of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho ..."
What a genius tagline.

Yeah, when they did the original Star Wars before the score was added (apparently you put fake music in before the real score) they put the Psycho theme in the scene where they come out of the hiding compartments. John Williams thought it was so good for the scene he incorporated it into the soundtrack.
It is probably my favorite Hitchcock film too. Rear Window comes close. I also really love Strangers on a Train, North By Northwest, the Man Who Knew Too Much (James Stewart version), and Vertigo.
Mel Brooks' High Anxiety is a great Vertigo spoof by the way.
