This is the one where the guy thinks he witnesses a murder while peeping thru a telescope?

To me, she looked her finest in "Milk Money"

What I remember most from this movie is when the credits are rolling and the directions to a body double.

The best part about Body Double is Pino Dinaggio's trance-inducing song that plays as he watches her thru the window. It's a moment of sheer voyeuristic bliss. An ode to Hitchcock

Really good thriller. I like it a lot. It's right up there with De Palma's other early films, Sisters, Obsession, Dressed to Kill, and Blow Out. Back when De Palma was at his peak.

The murder scene with the drill is pretty brutal.

Way stylized but with a pretty weak plot.
This movie received LOTS of attention back in the day.
The "drill" scene was gratuitous, imho.
A lot of scenes stand the test of time, but uneven as a whole.
