First, a correction. I had Quicksand as my #18, not my #17.
I had Le Corbeau as my number 16. There's a sense of claustrophobia that builds up particularly when a series of anonymous poison pen notes start showing up in unexpected places such as a funeral wreath and flying from the rafters of a church. It starts out with a doctor being the victim of a campaign but soon others in a small French town get called out by a source only known as The Raven.
There's another memorable sequence towards the end as the police come up with a way of finding out who the Raven is by having the men of the town write a series of the Raven's letters to see who will give up or give away the identity.
I was a bit tired from a long day of work when I saw this, but I can appreciate its final shot and the production design.
My List:
16. Le Corbeau (aka The Raven) (1943)
18. Quicksand (1950)
