Original – The 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).
