  1. Psycho (1960)
    "Dressed to Kill is essentially De Palma's semi-remake of Psycho: an early shower set-piece, the mid-film murder of an apparent protagonist (Angie Dickinson in the Janet Leigh role), and a killer whose identity carries Psycho's gender-coded reveal. The film closes with a second shower scene as one-upmanship." source
