I just finally watched Notorious like a week ago. My vote definately goes to Vertigo

If I could vote for two it would be Vertigo and Notorious. Notorious is definitely his most "cruel" movie. There is the usual black humor in it, but also a more vicious undercurrent.

Could you explain this? Cruel isn't the first word that comes to my mind about this movie, but I'm listening.

it's cruel because of the abuse he heaps upon Bergman's character; he makes her an "alcoholic" and then has her fall in love with a man who plays emotional S&M with her. Not to mention the poison. There's a lot more (I actually wrote a paper about it in college)
