I read how "Peeping Tom" killed his career, and I don't remember any movies after. Couldn't get into "Stairway to Heaven" (Matter of Life and Death)... I did see "Age of Consent" but didn't care for it, although I thought the scenery, few characters was enticing.

Off the top of my head... I think Black Christmas is better than Peeping Tom.

A film I quite enjoyed that combines the subject matter with coming of age. "Just Looking" is a little-known film from Jason Alexander. Set in 1955 about a young lad's fascination about sex.

A film often called an indirect remake / ripoff of Rear Window, I remembered enjoying Disturbia a fair amount when it was first released.
