Every once in a while we like to pay tribute to a landmark film by encapsulating it in three animated GIFs. For this installment, we’re honoring Vertigo, the 1958 psychological thriller from Alfred Hitchcock that was recently named “the greatest film of all time.” (We should warn that there are some major spoilers ahead.)

In the comments, let us know which three GIFs you would have selected, and nominate the film we should take on next.
