If you think about the actual movie, that moment is something you'd remember. A famous Star from the Golden Age once explained to me that a movie is "a series of moments," and if the audience finds enough moments they like, the movie is successful. It's as good an explanation as any I've heard.

That makes sense. And probably why I love older movies so much more than recent ones. There was much more emphasis on the emotion and drama of the moment. Alfred Hitchcock was a master of the moment.

Indeed he was. I never get tired of watching them either.
