I picked up the Legacy Series edition today and watched it because... my
mother told me to.
Excellent! I haven't seen it in years and forgot how good the original is. The only thing I had previously was the triple feature DVD set with Psycho II, III, and IV.
I still find it funny that it has an R rating though. For a horror flick it is tame to today's standards.
Besides the shower scene, the other great scene is where Norman rolls the car into the swamp, and the car stops sinking. Norman starts looking around, and then he is relieved it starts sinking again.
With all the Psychos on DVD, I still hope they release the 1987
Bates Motel TV movie that was supposed to be a pilot for a TV series. then the collection will be complete. And as for Gus Van Sant's... it never happened.
