I watched Rear Window for the first time last year. Great movie, but one moment that really stood out to me is that "up the stairs" scene at the end. I can't remember the last time I felt so intense watching a movie.
That scene near the end where Jimmy Stewart hears Thorwald coming up the stairs, is one of the most unnerving moments I've seen in a movie. That sense of dread, the lack of music, and the fact that Jimmy Stewart is in a leg cast, so he can't escape or hide and can only confront Thorwald. And then that furious look on Thorwald's face when he opens the door. Absolutely horrifying. Everything about it is just well done.
