Abstract
Popular culture is brimming with examples of voyeurism and has been ever since the beginning of cinema. We, the audience, take part in this voyeurism as we with our own free choose to watch these films. This paper will analyse the three films Peeping Tom (1960), Rear Window (1954) and Psycho (1960) to determine the root of the voyeurism, both in film and in us.
