Check this out, Neverending, on RT.com the tomato meter on House on Haunted Hill 1999 (the pic icon is clearly the 1999) has Critic Review rating of 29% and Fan Review rating of 49%.

But I'm quite sure the picture icon of the film is an error, as House on Haunted Hill 1959 is rated 95% and 70%, respectively. Means the other film pic icons for remakes may be wrong as well. That being the case, then it goes back to actually being a straight 'highest Critics RT.com rating list', just like you said. And that works out, as Nosferatu 22 and King Kong 33 are the highest Critic rated.

I got a score of 49
quite a few gems on there. I think they make up for the crap that's on the list.

It's which ever one has the highest Critic's Review rating on RT.com.

Only managed to get a 39. Have to say I'm a little disappointed in myself.

Seen 72.5 (only saw half of Cronos)

Not seen Phantom of the Opera or Vampyr (despite having the later on VHS for about 18 years)

Yeah, It's a classic, but anything with Deborah Kerr usually is. Beautifully shot, it deserves the praise it gets.

I've seen 54... Not a bad list I suppose, considering that I believe that the masses are typically idiots (IMDB scores and comments always baffle me)

Deborah Kerr is such a beauty, and fine actress. I agree it was beautifully shot and well acted. The story is interesting. The boy possessed by the former valet is creepy for sure.

Of course, I prefer when I highly appreciate every film I see, especially highly regarded ones. Besides the aspects of the film that were accomplished, I thought the film was a bit plodding (I need to find a new word) and not very scary. Just wondered if I was the only one who thought that.
