When someone asks you, if you want a free Criterion movie, you say, YES.Check out the infamous thriller for free on HULU. From Michael Powell, the legend behind such greats as "The Red Shoes" and "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp," "Peeping Tom" is the notorious thriller about a man and his fetishistic obsession with women and his camera. Although it more-or-less crushed Powell's professional career, the film has become a godfather to the psycho-killer genre. This was also one of the more entertaining films studied in Contemporary Film Theory. Mommy-issues and spectatorship. Think of those phrases if you watch. Creeps, cameras and a '60s cool are all on display in this classic. And normally, this thing runs for $40 on Criterion. Not today my friend.

Maybe, maybe, read up on it here (http://www.criterion.com/films/235) and about Laura Mulvey here (http://www.garethwiles.co.uk/peepingtom.html). Now you too can pretend to be scholarly poindexter!
