Top Swimming Pool Scenes

These are my favorite scenes centered around a swimming pool with frightening or deadly results:

Burnt Offerings
The Legacy (self closing)
This House Possessed (self boiling)
Poltergeist (unfinished but occupied)
Let The Right One In
Cat People

What did I miss?

The `swimming pool` scene from poltergeist haunted me for years =D
Besides from the ones you have mentioned, there is the human centipide and AvP2.
I love the scene from let the right one in, its the best!

Great picks! :)

The Human Centipede pool scene was heart wrenching.

The Gremlins! Three rules to follow, and how to break every last one of them.

I haven't seen any of these films yet:o I really like the looks of The Prowler.

I guess I'll watch The Final Destination; it'll probably be as fun as the others.

THE PROWLER is a great, trashy slasher flick. It is one of the most mean-spirited of the genre (which usually turns me off, but in a decade of shitty slashers, this made it stand out) and the gore is excellent.

not as good as THE BURNING, but better than most of the other non-franchise slashers

I haven't seen The Burning either:o I've been hearing a lot about that movie; I really must watch it.

My son mentioned this pool scene from Jack Frost 2.
