"Older than you" in my case has to be pre-1948;I have a number of favourites so I'll select four from that list - 'Rebecca","Double Indemnity","The Woman in the Window",plus a musical "Cover Girl".The last three were all released in 1944.
Another commenter and I were talking about Hitchcock and Selznick earlier - the source of their animosity came about during the filming of Rebecca (a movie which Hitchcock disowned as "not a Hitchcock film"). It was brilliant as you suggest :)
