This month, Netflix takes a tiny step toward broadening its cinematic horizons by adding several movies by master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. While it’s an imperfect — and most likely temporary — remedy, it still gives Netflix viewers the chance to watch some of the greatest movies ever made, by one of the greatest directors of all time.
