OriginalThe Lodger: A Story of the London Fog is a 1927 British silent thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on Marie Belloc Lowndes' novel The Lodger.
Reason
We now have copies of most of Alfred Hitchcock's silent films, and this one I think stands out among them. It's Hitchcock's first film to develop the "Hitchcockian" style we know today, and the article touches on a bunch of those elements and motifs. The restoration is a big improvement over previous releases, with better reproduction of the color scheme that Gainsborough Pictures used in the UK release (the opening scene is a good example, where instead of blue tinting it restores the amber tinting and blue toning used to look like street lighting at night).
