[realdealblues]

Alright, my 70's list is in.

That was pretty overwhelming. I ended up not voting for any by personal favorites because there would have been just too many.

I only voted for ones that I think meant the most to the genre historically, financially and just plain made the biggest significance to the genre today.

[neverending]

L'll have to wait till the weekend for this.

[_____V_____]

Big thanks to realdealblues, The Villain and Kandarian Demon for sending in their list of choices for the 70s in double-quick time.

The 50s will be up for debate as soon as the weekend starts. Better be ready to put your thinking caps on and hammer down the final 20 from the 50s!

[Sculpt]

When you going to post the results for 50 and 60?

[roshiq]

Yeah...IMDB hasn't categorized it as Horror but I'm requesting to add 10 Rillington Place (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066730/?ref_=sr_1) in the bunch.

I'll send my list within next 24 hrs. 70s seem lot easier to me than 50s & 60s:)

[Giganticface]

Yeah...IMDB hasn't categorized it as Horror but I'm requesting to add 10 Rillington Place (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066730/?ref_=sr_1) in the bunch.

I'll send my list within next 24 hrs. 70s seem lot easier to me than 50s & 60s:)

Me too - 70s is a lot easier for me than earlier decades. I probably could have done okay with 60s but I'll have to go back and read if I've missed my chance on that one. I'd like to participate in 70s if that's cool.

I was wondering, would it make sense to add Straw Dogs to the list? IMDB doesn't have it categorized as horror. Not sure if it's in my top 20 yet without listing them, but it might be if it were a candidate.

I should be able to finish this weekend.

[Giganticface]

I'd also like to vote for adding A Clockwork Orange to the list.

[roshiq]

I was wondering, would it make sense to add Straw Dogs to the list? IMDB doesn't have it categorized as horror. Not sure if it's in my top 20 yet without listing them, but it might be if it were a candidate.

Agree, that's another worthy candidate but already sent my list though and I'm quite happy with that listing.

When you going to post the results for 50 and 60?

Quoting from the post just above...

The 50s will be up for debate as soon as the weekend starts. Better be ready to put your thinking caps on and hammer down the final 20 from the 50s!

Tonight.

---------------

Yeah...IMDB hasn't categorized it as Horror but I'm requesting to add 10 Rillington Place (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066730/?ref_=sr_1) in the bunch.

One of the reasons why Tony Curtis's The Boston Strangler didn't make the cut for the 60s.

I was wondering, would it make sense to add Straw Dogs to the list? IMDB doesn't have it categorized as horror. Not sure if it's in my top 20 yet without listing them, but it might be if it were a candidate.

I'd also like to vote for adding A Clockwork Orange to the list.

All debatable entries for the horror genre. But I leave this open for discussion. If enough are in favor, they will be merged into the list.

BTW, thanks to fortunato and roshiq for turning their entries in for the 70s.

14 films have made it in, by a vote percentage of over 50%.

We need to select SIX more films from the other two sections (preferably from the DEBATABLE section). 6 Honorable Mentions from the rest to be chosen later.

I have posted the names of the HDC-ians who sent in their unique choices, i.e., those which got only 1 vote, and that vote was theirs only.

Please post your reasons for choosing your unique films, your backing for the MINORITY & DEBATABLE selections, and why you feel your chosen ones should be included in the SIX remaining spots.

OR

If everyone is in agreement, we can toss in A Bucket of Blood which scored 5 votes, and select FIVE choices which got 4 votes each (right now in the DEBATABLE top). That way we end up with our selected 20.

So, go ahead. Post your views.

[neverending]

To be honest, I can only select 5 from the debatable section- Bucket of Blood, Teenage Werewolf, Revenge of Frankenstein, Bad Seed, and Incredible Shrinking Man.

All the rest seem like they are more squarely in the science fiction realm, except Rear Window, which is more of a drama or thriller.

There are others from the minority section, which IMO, are more worthy of inclusion in the top 20 horror films from the 50s, such as The Abominable Snowman, Night of the Hunter or Hunchback of Notre Dame.

[The Villain]

From the Debatable section i would choose Bucket of Blood, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, The Revenge of Frankenstein, The Thing from Another World, The War of the Worlds and Tarantula

All of these i think are classics with strong staying power evidenced by the fact that some of them have been recently remade and have influenced other recent movies. Besides that fact they are excellent monster movies which excellently represent the time period in which they were made.

From the Minority section i would pick Invaders from Mars, Rodan, The Amazing Colossal Man, The Crawling Eye, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame as they are also excellent movie from that time period.

[roshiq]

The Bad Seed (1956)

Not only a true pioneer classic for the sub-genre of Evil child movies but as a film, in terms of making, characterization & a theme that was way ahead of its time...The Bad Seed is a much deserving film to be in any greatest lists for 50s Hollywood masterpieces. It's always a great challenge to tell such a sensitive story within a limited set up & few characters and the director Mervyn Leroy did an excellent job in creating an utterly gripping atmosphere where we see a psychological cat & mouse game between a helpless mother & her evil little girl. The very young Patty McCormack playing the title character Rhoda Penmark was a remarkable delightful watch. I strongly recommending this movie along with The Incredible Shrinking Man (If u haven't then please read NE's blurb in the HDC's top 100 list to understand the significance of this true gem) to get in the final cut. It'll be a great disappointment if we fail to recognize the greatness of the movies like this ones.

[_____V_____]

Duly added. Selections are open for debate.

[fortunato]

I'm throwing in for The Bad Seed.

[_____V_____]

Thanks, guys. 15th chosen one nailed. Master List updated.

Five more to go.

[Giganticface]

All debatable entries for the horror genre. But I leave this open for discussion. If enough are in favor, they will be merged into the list.

No worries. I understand the line has to be drawn somewhere, and I'm cool with whatever this community decides.

Thanks to roshiq for backing the inclusion of Straw Dogs. Anyone else? I realize this isn't a pure horror genre movie, but it's close. It serves as a direct reference for any post-1971 home invasion movie. I assume House on the Edge of the Park will be included on the 80s list since IMDB classifies it as horror. Straw Dogs is much scarier and actually employs horror filmmaking techniques, which can't really be said about Edge of the Park. The movie throughout has a constant feeling of pending doom. I also think a good case can be made that if Last House on the Left, Deliverance and maybe I Spit on Your Grave, are included, then Straw Dogs should be included.

That being said, no big deal if it's not included. Everyone's got their own definitions.

Regarding A Clockwork Orange, I'm almost inclined to retract my suggestion to add it because it is so debatable. It's clearly not a horror genre movie, the cheery British tone plays more like Terry Gilliam than any horror movie, and a good portion of the film (the middle, prison portion) has no relationship to horror at all.

However, if these lists are about the most important movies in horror history (as opposed to the best horror movies in horror history), it would be a shame not to recognize it. The new level of on-screen violence, the trademarked and stylized predatorial antagonist, the themes of home invasion and physical and psychological torture, the creepy music and visuals, employing metal tools as torture instruments on the eyeballs, revenge torture, the fact that now when I hear "Singin' in the Rain" or Beethoven's 9th, I think of brutal violence and rape -- all of these are significant contributions to the horror genre, not sci-fi, which is the genre the movie is more likely to be classified as.

As I mentioned, I'm totally fine with not including it because it looks a little weird on my list next to The Exorcist, Halloween and Dawn of the Dead, but I'll leave you with these images for your collective consideration.

[roshiq]

I'll love to see them also in the final cut:

A Bucket of Blood (1959)
The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)
The Thing from Another World (1951)
The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)
The Night of the Hunter (1955)

[Straker]

I'll definatly throw an extra vote to Bucket of Blood, looks like it is already gonna get there, but I want to back two movies that I really expected to see with more votes than just mine.

Dementia: Low budget masterpiece, surreal film noir/ horror complete with an amazing example of a sexy female anti-hero. Quality score, quality concept, just a brilliant movie with bags of atmosphere. AKA Daughter of Darkness, try to watch the original version, not the version with the cheesy narration overdub. Awesome movie, way ahead of its time, plenty of faults but really think it is more than worthy of a top 20 spot...

El Vampiro: So, while I wasn't that surprised to see Dementia didn't feature in many/ any lists but mine, I was kinda surprised to see this movie not getting a few more vote. This, in my opinion, is an essential inclusion in the top 20. Predating hammer's Horror of Dracula you get this beautiful mexican offering filled with all the tropes that made Christopher Lee a horror icon. Beautiful cinematography, great atmosphere, sleek and stylish. This is a must watch for any fan of horror and to see Horror of Dracula in the top 20 and El Vampiro slip out with just one vote would be a tragic. If this movie didn't inspire hammer's Dracula, it was certainly a reference point. Really urge people to give this a watch if they havent seen it already.... Gonna link one scene from youtube, keep in mind while watching the scene that this movie predates Horror of Dracula. Pay attention to the score, the atmosphere, the shots and the style, could so easily be watching hammer's Dracula..... Please give it a watch.

[Sculpt]

Lots of great movies. I would only consider Rear Window a non-horror movie, though that's totally subjective. Obviously a ton of these are sci-fi, but I wouldn't say they aren't horror, unless anyone wants to say The Thing 82 isn't a horror movie.

From your list of films on the borderline...

I think these 4 films stand as colossal great films of the wider horror genre. If I may include all of them at once, these films are full stories, based on books, amazing ideas full of ramifications to life, true classics:

1. The Day the Earth Stood Still
2. The Incredible Shrinking Man
3. The War of the Worlds
4. The Hunchback of Notre Dame

These three are the same types of movies, but the stories/films are not quite as epic:

5. This Island Earth
The Amazing Colossal Man
The Thing from Another World

These 2 are worthy movies, that are famous and unique, but in my opinion, don't have the depth of the above mentioned.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
The Killer Shrews

[_____V_____]

Thank you, everyone. We have found FOUR more films which takes the overall tally to 19.

Just need to select ONE more. Please check the updated Master List on the previous page for details.

Thanks to Giganticface for submitting his Top 20 entries for the 70s.

I expect at least 10 more lists by this weekend. The Master List for the 70s starts from the bottom two posts here - http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57593&page=25, and continues into the next page.

On that note, submissions for the 60s are still open. Master List here - http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57593&page=21 (posts #206 & 207)

[neverending]

This was even more difficult than the 60s. My first draft had 34 titles. Had to cut a lot of personal favorites. A lot of old school got cut in favor of more modern horror. By the 70s Hammer's Frankenstein and Dracula films were stretching a bit thin for plot lines, so even though I love them, I cut them all. My final cut was The Other, which is an excellent horror film, and deserving of a place in the top films of the 70s. That's how brutal it got. So much of the weird, low-budget, sleazy horror of the 70s... I cut it all.

[realdealblues]

For the 50's I'll add my backing of

The Thing from Another World (1951) - 4 (backed by The Villain, seconded by roshiq)

For me it's the best in Sci-Fi/Horror.

[_____V_____]

A BIG thanks to everyone. We have our chosen 20 from the 50s.

As we roll through the 70s with entries, we tackle the chosen 20 for the 60s in a couple days' time. Keep an eye on this thread for updates.

[Straker]

Sad to see no love for El Vampiro. :(

I'll throw together a 70s list in the next few days.

[neverending]

Sad to see no love for El Vampiro. :(

.

Certainly an intriguing clip. While I see influence on Hammer there, I also see nods to Lugosi and other vampire films of the 40s and 50s. An important transitional film, for sure.

No doubt. The 80s are going to be impossible to cut down to 20. Seriously though, to prevent the 80s final list from being nothing but the staples, maybe we should submit 30 or more. :)

Heh. Are you saying that because it would be too much effort to be fun, or because the quality of the movies would drop off?

(* = not part of original 60s Master List)


14 films have made it in, by a vote percentage at and over 50%.

We need to select SIX more films from the other two sections (preferably from the DEBATABLE section). 6 Honorable Mentions from the rest to be chosen later.

I have posted the names of the HDC-ians who sent in their unique choices, i.e., those which got only 1 vote, and that vote was theirs only.

Please post your reasons for choosing your unique films, your backing for the MINORITY & DEBATABLE selections, and why you feel your chosen ones should be included in the SIX remaining spots.

OR

If everyone is in agreement, we can toss in the FIVE films which scored 4 votes, and select ONE choice from the ones which got 3 votes each. That way we end up with our selected 20.

So, go ahead. Post your views.

[_____V_____]

Big thanks to hammerfan for burning the wires with her last minute dashes of the 60s and the 70s to my PM box.

[The Villain]

I'll say the movies that got 4 votes should go in and ill give Quatermass and the Pit a vote

[realdealblues]

I'll say the movies that got 4 votes should go in and ill give Quatermass and the Pit a vote

I'll 2nd what he said...

[Straker]

The Cremator needs to be in the top 20.... This is not only one of the best movies of the 60's but one of the better horror movies ever made. Not only does it epitomise the era its one of the finest portrayals of a serial killer ever given.

Rudolf Hrunsinsky puts in an amazing performance as The Cremator he has this perfect disarming and unassuming look that will remind veiwers of a young Peter Lorre and a voice that is almost soothing to listen to, but from the start you are made aware that there is something so wrong and insidious about this guy.

The movie, while set against the backdrop of the second world war, is purely about the complusive mind of The Cremator. Totally obsessed with his work or what he sees as his duty, every action he takes is about furthering his work and realising his ambitions. What makes The Cremator such a perfect villian is the purety of his thoughts and mind, this is a guy so self obsessed and so single minded that he is prepared to use the Nazi party as a tool to realise his ambition while seeming totally ambivalent to their cause. For The Cremator they are just a tool to further his ambition.

The cinematography from Stanislav Milota is some of the finest work you will ever see, freeze frame at any point in this movie and you will have a beautiful still. Every shot, every scene is beautifully planned and executed. Scenes flow into each other with ease and the story plays out like a waking nightmare. Some of the scenes are amongst the best the genre has to offer.

Dark, atmospheric, viseral portrait of a disturbed mind, categorised as a horror comedy by IMDB, this is horror with a gentle hint of disturb humor, but certainly no comedy. Juraj Herz wrote and directed a masterpiece. There is no doubt in my mind that if this movie had the exposure other movies get or you simply switched the name Juraj Herz for David Lynch on the cover of the movie, this movie would be rightly considered a masterpiece of our genre.

I know its probably not going to make the final twenty or even get seconded by anyone on here so all I can really say is that I recommend to all of you that if you ever get the chance to watch this movie (can be found on youtube and now avaliable on DvD after being lost for some 40 years) then take the time to give it a watch. It really is an amazing movie and in an era of great movies it easily stands along side the best of the era.

[Straker]

As for the others, I'll back/ second: Spider Baby, Quatermass, Onibaba, Targets, all worthy of a spot in the top 20.

[neverending]

I recommend:

Targets (1968) - 4
The Tomb of Ligeia (1964) - 4 (never thought so many would vote for my fave Corman/Poe effort)
Witchfinder General (1968) - 4
Spider Baby or, The Maddest Story Ever Told (1968) - 3
Mr. Sardonicus (1961) - 2


I'll also cast a vote for The Cremator, even though I've never seen it, because Straker argues so passionately for unique films that might slip under the radar. I admire your passion and your taste, Mr. Straker.

[_____V_____]

Thanks, guys. We have found 4 more films finalised for our Top 20 from the 60s.

Still in search for 2 more. Please check the updated Master List in the previous page for details.

For those who are still compiling their lists for the 70s, it can be found here - http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57593&page=25 (last two posts and the first post in the immediate next page)

Thanks for the kind words, in an era filled with such depth I really appreciate the leap of faith.

@ V: I'll vote for Sardonicus, was in my top 20, just forgot to mention it earlier.... Also working on my 70s list now, proving to be a bit more difficult than I expected. Too many head vs heart type of decisions!

EDIT: I'm down to one spot and three films, but I just noticed on the master list for the 70s Duel (1971) isnt there and its one of the movies that I'm trying to decide over. Love the film but its not exactly out and out horror much more of a thriller but its still got strong horror elements. The truck gives the movie a creature feature feel but not sure if that is enough to qualify it as horror or even if it will make my final list anyway! Anyone have any thoughts?

[neverending]

Duel is a great film, but like you, I'd classify it more as a thriller or suspense film.

[The Villain]

I'll throw a vote for The Cremator as well

[Straker]

Great to see The Cremator making the final cut!!

Finished my 70s list, really tough era.... So many iconic and amazing movies that pretty much picked themselves that there really wasn't much room to maneuver. Alot of the camp 70s flicks that I half expected to see in my list ended up falling short.

[Giganticface]

The Cremator needs to be in the top 20.... This is not only one of the best movies of the 60's but one of the better horror movies ever made. Not only does it epitomise the era its one of the finest portrayals of a serial killer ever given.

...

I have not seen the movie (so can't back it), but that clip you posted was pretty freakin awesome. I will be making it a priority to watch it.

[_____V_____]

Done. Tally for the 60s is up to 19 now. We need to finalise just ONE more film.

----------------

Thanks to Straker for submitting his Top 20 for the 70s. I await more entries!

[The Villain]

If we need one more I'll give a vote to Spider Baby

[Straker]

If we need one more I'll give a vote to Spider Baby

Think its already made the cut. :cool:

Well done, guys. We now FINALLY have our 20th chosen one from the 60s. Excellent effort.

Entries for the 70s are open till the next few days. After that we move into our modern era, with the Master List of the 80s!

I'll also cast a vote for The Cremator, even though I've never seen it, because Straker argues so passionately for unique films that might slip under the radar. I admire your passion and your taste, Mr. Straker.

Ditto. I've seen Cremator & it's really a highly under appreciated, amazing movie. Quite dark & magnificent gem for the sub-genre of psychological horror. I'd love to vote for it again along with my very favorite Onibaba & Spider baby.

(* = Not in the Master List of the 70s)



16 films have made it in, by a vote percentage of over 50%.

We need to select FOUR more films from the other two sections (preferably from the DEBATABLE section). 6 Honorable Mentions from the rest to be chosen later.

I have posted the names of the HDC-ians who sent in their unique choices, i.e., those which got only 1 vote, and that vote was theirs only.

Please post your reasons for choosing your unique films, your backing from the MINORITY & DEBATABLE selections, and why you feel your chosen ones should be included in the FOUR remaining spots.

OR

If everyone is in agreement, we can toss in all the FOUR films in the DEBATABLE section. That way we end up with our selected 20.

So, go ahead. Post your views.


We start with the 80s tonight.

[Straker]

Damn, there are some really amazing films not in the cut, gonna be backing quite a few here I think....


Eraserhead: Most accessible and mainstream surrealist horror out there. Quality directing from Lynch who really manages to create a legitimate 'dream state' type of movie. Beautifully paranoid feel to the whole movie that just keeps the viewer in that awkward place that makes these types of movies so much fun. One of the few movies I go out of my way to show to friends who haven't seen it. Pretty much essential inclusion in the top 20 for me....

Salem's Lot : Not much to say about this movie other than it is probably one of my favourite movies of any genre in any era. There are a few 70s flicks that fall into this category (like Jaws) where the movie is just too simple and too pure not to love. Tobe Hooper really delivers a 'perfect' horror movie, sure the TV movie style looks a little dated but there are so many iconic moments and scenes that its hard not to love this movie. James Mason puts in a truly amazing performance, the atmosphere is perfect and certain scenes stand amongst the best the genre has to offer.

The Sentinel: For a very ordinary director, Michael Winner managed to deliver some moments of real directing genius. The Sentinel is one of those movies that just oozes atmosphere. Unsettling atmosphere, genuinely creepy and uncomfortable horror with a really fine ensemble of supporting actors. Beautifully insidious undertone to the whole movie, underappreciated classic of the genre.

A Warning to the Curious: M.R James Ghost story from the BBC.... On first look you might think this out of place in a 70s list stocked full of real classics of modern horror, but its exactly why it made my list. It is such a simple but effective ghost story and a beautiful adaptation with a strong lead performance from Peter Vaughn. This adaptation is all about atmosphere and storytelling, which is what horror is all about. Really worth a watch for those that haven't seen it, the sort of horror that should be watched on a dark, stormy night with the lights low. :cool:

The Tenant: Not in the masters list, maybe not even a horror, but it is such a perfect thriller that it made my final cut.... Its another one of those uncomfortable psychological movies that the 70s is just filled with. Why it made my list, despite being a thriller was the claustrophobic nature of the movie. Really amazing direction and execution throughout.

Deliverance : Is it horror? No, I don't think so.... I'll be honest, the cinematography is so fuckin awesome I just couldn't bring myself not to include it in my list. I don't expect it to get any backers and I don't think it should really find its way into the final list anyway, but what an amazing movie!

I notice Rabid only has one vote, it was probably sat around 25th on my list before it got cut. Huge fan of Cronenberg and Rabid is a genuine classic, so would be happy to back/ second it. Same goes for the Frankenstein TVM which I didn't even consider when writing up my list, if I'm honest, but watched for the first time recently and thought it was quality.

[The Villain]

The Hills Have Eyes definitely deserves to be on this list. When I think of backwoods/redneck/freak type movies this is what I think of. It is a classic of the decade.

I'll also say Eraserhead

[Giganticface]

Great list! There's so much good stuff to choose from the 70s.

I'll second the backing of The Hills Have Eyes as an essential entry in the redneck/cannibal subgenre. Teetering on the cut line with 5 votes, I suspect it only needs a nudge.

The film from the Minority list I'd like to back is Straw Dogs. Understanding that it's a difficult film to categorize, and I've already made my case for why it should be considered, I want to thank V for including it on the list of candidates. I believe it's not only an important influence in the history of horror, but also a damn good horror movie.

For those that are still not convinced it should be a candidate, do a Google search for "straw dogs 1971 horror." The slew of horror web sites that have reviewed it is neverending, and it's almost universally praised by those reviewers.

As for its importance in the history of horror film, two words: home invasion. You can't review movies like The Strangers or Ils without consciously or subconsciously comparing it to Straw Dogs. And most likely, Straw Dogs will still win. Besides claiming the fame of launching a horror subgenre, it also played a large part in upping the level of acceptable violence in film, especially horror films. Of course, it was not acceptable at the time, as it received an X rating and was later subject to a video release ban.

Judging the movie purely on its horror elements -- not just its influence on the genre -- there's plenty to draw from. ***SPOILERS*** The town simpleton accidentally killing a local girl is a chapter straight from Mary Shelly. The scene where the giant bear trap is painstakingly set, then hoisted as a centerpiece in the living room is a foreshadowing of the unthinkable release of the trap, which of course does occur in the final scene. I actually recoiled when the wife found the family cat hanging dead in the bedroom closet. When an intruder's hands were nailed to a window sill, leaving his throat inches away from being slit with the broken glass, I was reminded of a trap in a Saw movie. And more than anything else, the idea that regular, good ole' kids from town, working on your roof, drinking milk from your kitchen, and socializing with your wife, could at some point become your very worst nightmare -- this is the reason I lock my door at night. To disqualify this film as just a "thriller" would be a cop out. There's nothing thrilling about your wife being raped in your own living room. And then again by the next guy.

I suspect this film might have garnered an extra couple votes had it been on the original Master List. With great acting and character development, a constant state of tension, and two of the most memorably horrific scenes in history, Straw Dogs deserves a spot in HDC's 100 Years of Horror.

[_____V_____]

All opinions added to the compilation. Keep going.

[neverending]

The Hills Have Eyes, Eraserhead and Black Christmas all yes. Andromeda Strain no- it's sci fi.

Frankenstein The True Story is the only film which presents the entire book. It really is the closest adaptation of one of the landmarks of horror literature and deserves to be incleded because of that.

So many other films that deserve to be on the list, but I'll stop at four.

[_____V_____]

We now have two more finalists nailed, taking the chosen tally to 18. Check the Compiled List in the previous page for details.

Need to finalise 2 more.

[_____V_____]

And here come the 1980s, in the form of the first Master List from the Third Era.

Be reminded that we are still in the process of finalising the Top 20 for the 70s.



FIRST SET OF THE THIRD ERA - THE 80s

Here's the first set of films from the third era of horror, through 1980 till 1989.

Another hugely popular decade for horror, and I have stuck to those films which scored more than at least 100 votes on IMDB. The total number is a staggering 971.

For the translated titles, submitters are advised to make a trip to IMDB, copy-paste the said title into the box and click on Search. The corresponding English title can be found on the film's IMDB page. When you send in your entry for such a film, please send the original title along with the translated English name.

Again, a few noteworthy TV films, shorts & documentaries have been added.

[Straker]

Jack the Ripper, TVM starring Michael Cain should probably be on the list too, just checked IMDB (wasn't sure of the name) and it has it listed as a crime drama.

[Giganticface]

Wow, this is going to be heartbreaking, some of the movies that won't make the 20-item cut.

Thanks. IMDB hasn't categorised it even as a thriller. Glaring overlook on my part.

(* = Not in the Master List of the 70s)


19 nailed. Need ONE more.

[roshiq]

Trying to make a 'unique' list for 80s, omitted couple of classics
which is easy cause there's lots of brave & amazing movies. Oh, how anyone could not love 80s...what a fun decade!

[The Villain]

I'll back Salem's Lot as well

[neverending]

I see the 80s went for quantity over quality.

[Giganticface]

I'll be the second to back The Sentinel as a great ghost story with some unique visuals moments. I agree with Straker about how successful it is at creating atmosphere. The final scene is a horror classic that is sure to stick with the viewer for a while. Although it's a mainstream film, the touch of sleaze and "little person" ghosts give it a slightly exploitative tone. I have it at #13 on my list for the 70s.

[realdealblues]

My 80's list is in.

With 2 open slots left for the 70's I will back "Salem's Lot" & "Black Christmas"

[_____V_____]

Compiled Master List of the 70s updated. We now have 19 films finalised for our chosen 20. Still need to finalise ONE more 70s film.

Big thanks to roshiq, neverending, realdealblues and hammerfan for submitting their lists for the 80s. It takes the total tally to 5. I await plenty more submissions, folks!

[hammerfan]

Rabid (1977) (neverending) (seconded by Straker)

Can I back this? Or has it been added?

[roshiq]

Yup...Rabid is a well deserving one, I also like to share my support for it.

[_____V_____]

Rabid (1977) (neverending) (seconded by Straker)

Can I back this? Or has it been added?

You can second the backing. The ones in bold are the finalised ones.

----------------------

And we have found our 20th chosen one for the 70s, thanks to hammerfan and roshiq.

Keep the entries for the 80s coming, folks!

[Giganticface]

Wow, this is ridiculously hard to choose 20.

It's interesting that originally it was contemplated that ten films per year would be picked.



Phase 2: The 1920's through the 1940's

For these three decades, I've decided to stick with the ten best movies of the decade instead of year by year. Why? Because some years are very poorly represented, or practically not represented at all. Not a lot of movies were being produced at this time, and the medium was still new and experimental.


That makes sense when there are only 79 movies on the Master List for a decade. But when there are 973?! Yikes.

So no one likes the idea of submitting more than 20? (I already know how you feel, neverending!) :) Just throwing it out there.

[Straker]

So far I'm managing to keep my list pretty strong and avoid going down the nostalgia route. If we increased it past 20 my list would probably include movies I loved as a kid but deep down I know are total crap..... Ghoulies would probably make my top 30, so lets just save me some embarrassment and leave it at 20 please. :cool:

@ V: should have my list done by the weekend.

[_____V_____]

Take your time, Straker.

Big thanks to fortunato for submitting his list of choices for the 80s. I expect at least 6-7 more lists before the weekend runs out. Keep sending in those entries, folks!

[Giganticface]

Just submitted my 80s list. Wow, that was tough. Interestingly, for the 80s being the slasher decade, I don't think I had a single true slasher film in the top 20.

As far as being able to keep the list strong past 20 -- I hear ya, Straker -- it's tempting to want to include childhood favorites that aren't all that great. I managed to resist the temptation too, and I think it's still pretty easy to keep the list strong. Just for fun, here's my next 20.

21 Re-Animator (1985)
22 Altered States (1980)
23 Sleepaway Camp (1983)
24 A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
25 Day of the Dead (1985)
26 Christine (1983)
27 Aliens (1986)
28 Halloween II (1981)
29 Prince of Darkness (1987)
30 Cujo (1983)
31 The Watcher in the Woods (1980)
32 Friday the 13th (1980)
33 Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)
34 My Bloody Valentine (1981)
35 Tetsuo (1989)
36 Pet Sematary (1989)
37 The Changeling (1980)
38 Deranged (1987)
39 Tenebre (1982)
40 Amityville II: The Possession (1982)

[neverending]

Five of those made it in my top 20.

[Giganticface]

I'd love to see your list at some point. Maybe once all the votes are in? Your 70s list too.

40 Amityville II: The Possession (1982)

A bunch of those are gonna be in my top 20 easily and a few I would like in there but will probably fall short.... I'm really hoping The Changeling and Altered States are gonna feature in plenty of lists though, the fact that they didn't make your top 20 has be a little worried now. (Less worried about the omission of stuff like NOES and F13 as I think they will be in most peoples lists anyway). Just hoping The Changeling isn't gonna be one of those classics that slips through the cracks.

[_____V_____]

Thanks to Giganticface for submitting the 7th entry for the 80s. I await to see plenty more before we bring the 90s in.

Let's get to making those lists, people! It was your favorite decade of horror after all!

[Giganticface]

(Less worried about the omission of stuff like NOES and F13 as I think they will be in most peoples lists anyway). Just hoping The Changeling isn't gonna be one of those classics that slips through the cracks.

I share your sentiment... It's hard to imagine certain iconic movies not making the list. Personally, I think there are better movies that ANOES and F13 for that decade, however it would be downright weird if they didn't make the list. I suspect up to half of my top 20 won't make the final cut. It's a double edge sword: either make the list like every other 80s horror list, or include less obvious (and according to my rankings, better) movies on the list, and risk those iconic movies falling off. Ah, the predicament of having such a prolific decade of horror. :)

[Kandarian Demon]

It was really difficult, but I managed to make my list :)

[Giganticface]

It was really difficult, but I managed to make my list :)

I wonder if the Evil Deads were on it. ;)

They were #2 and #3 for me.

[_____V_____]

Thanks to Kandarian Demon for submitting the 8th entry for the 80s.

I await plenty more, people! Get to it! :cool:

[Straker]

My list is nearly done, its come down to a toss up between Basket Case and Day of the Dead.... I've cut so much trashy cinema, stuff like Bad Taste, Brain Damage, Killer Klowns, Street Trash are all long gone, but I don't think I can let Basket Case go..... I could make it easy on myself and cut The Video Dead, but that's just not happening. :cool:

[Kandarian Demon]

I wonder if the Evil Deads were on it. ;)

Nooo, what makes you think that? :D

(of course they were)

Big thanks to Straker for (finally) submitting his entry for the 80s, which takes our overall tally to 9.

Can I expect a few more entries before the weekend rolls in? Let's see if we can bring in the 90s by then.

[Sculpt]

I'll make mine now.

Summation for the 1970s:-

...

19 nailed. Need ONE more.

If this is still up for debate, I'd like to second, or otherwise support one of these films (in this order). See if anyone wants to endorse any of these:


Magic (1978) - 2 (excellent and scary movie. Anthony Hopkins does an incredible job of acting and ventriloquy)
The Andromeda Strain (1971) - (Truly a great movie. Very sci-fi, subjective on horror genre)
Godzilla Vs the Smog Monster (Gojira tai Hedora) (1971) -- (an artistic gem. The sound, music, costumes/effects, animation sequences and cinematography is fantastic. I always loved the story and creativity too.)
The Night Stalker (1972 TV Movie) -- (Excellent movie, fantastic suspense, completely original take on the vampire genre at the time.)
The Spell (1977 TV Movie) -- (very creepy and well made movie. Introduces the young Helen Hunt)
King Kong (1976) -- (great music and mood, live ape was fantastic, except when it smiled.)
Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) -- (very effective creepy and good movie. The last shot of webs all over the town is incredible.)


I'd like to endorse Salem's Lot, but I only saw part of it. It's two eps, or a 3hr movie.

[Sculpt]

Just for fun, here's my next 20.

21 Re-Animator (1985)
22 Altered States (1980)
23 Sleepaway Camp (1983)
24 A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
25 Day of the Dead (1985)

28 Halloween II (1981)
29 Prince of Darkness (1987)
30 Cujo (1983)
31 The Watcher in the Woods (1980)
32 Friday the 13th (1980)
33 Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)
34 My Bloody Valentine (1981)
35 Tetsuo (1989)

38 Deranged (1987)
39 Tenebre (1982)
40 Amityville II: The Possession (1982)

Love to see you top 20. Five on your list was in my top 20. Curious, what did you think were the flaws of Aliens that kept it out your top 20?

This was my left over list (not in the top 20):

American Warewolf in London
Twightlight Zone
Funhouse
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Creepshow 2
the Hitcher
Alterd States
Motel Hell
Cujo

Thanks to Giganticface for submitting the 7th entry for the 80s. I await to see plenty more before we bring the 90s in.

Let's get to making those lists, people! It was your favorite decade of horror after all!

I think it was the decade I watched the most horror. :) But I don't think it was my favorite decade of horror. I think 1970 was for me.

[_____V_____]

If this is still up for debate, I'd like to second, or otherwise support one of these films (in this order).

The 70s is done and dusted. We have our chosen 20.

Thanks to Sculpt for sending in his list, which takes the overall tally to 10. I await at least a couple more before I post the Master for the 90s.

[Sculpt]

I see the 80s went for quantity over quality.
Agreed. Considering all the horror movies released as a decade, 1970's had better quality.

[Giganticface]

Love to see you top 20.

Cool. I'll post it after V's posted the list, and probably after all the debate is finished.

Curious, what did you think were the flaws of Aliens that kept it out your top 20?

It's not so much about flaws (it's one of my favorites of the decade), it's just that I don't rank it quite so high for a horror list. If it were a sci-fi list, or an action list, or thriller, or maybe even just a "favorites" list, it would be pretty high. But I don't think it's particularly scary or gory, and not really intended to be. It's like Predator, Resident Evil or even The Terminator -- dark and full of creatures, but more of an action format.

The first Alien, on the other hand, is one of my top horror movies of all time, as it follows more of a slasher format, and is also genuinely scary.

Kinda ironic because I'm the one lobbying for movies to be added to the list that don't always make it -- stuff that I think is scary and contributed to the history of horror like A Clockwork Orange and Straw Dogs. For the 90s I'll probably be lobbying for scary thrillers Clean, Shaven and Seul contre tous. I'm sure much milder crime thrillers like Se7en and Silence of the Lambs will be on there.

Ya, I know what you mean. I wouldn't have included Andromeda Strain in my horror list, so I can see how you'd favor more strict horror over Aliens. A Clockwork Orange was fascinating, and quiet an art piece, and certainly has horror elements.

Hey, V, just curious if there will be any ranking of the films that are tied, other than alphabetical. For instance, there's five in this list that got 8 votes, and I bet most folks have an opinion of how they would rank them. The Exorcist is 5th alphabetically, and I (as one vote) would rank it at the top of that list.

[Sculpt]

I say, I was a bit amused when I saw Eraserhead in the list. I've seen it a few times. It never occurred to me as a horror movie. I saw it as a surreal, subconscious dream movie. It's trippy, dark and disturbing, but in a depressing way, as opposed to horrific. It's at worst sardonic, and at best bare truth. I just never saw it as horror. But I see on the internet, some organizations add the tag of horror.

By the way, Eraserhead premiered at Filmex film festival in Los Angeles, on March 19, 1977. It's a 1977 movie, not 1976.

It won't be a ranked list. All selected films will have equal limelight in their podiums.

By the way, Eraserhead premiered at Filmex film festival in Los Angeles, on March 19, 1977. It's a 1977 movie, not 1976.

The Master List had it as 1977 (http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost.php?p=948636&postcount=249). Roshiq sent his entry and incorrectly marked it as 1976, and so it stayed when I compiled all the entries.

My mistake. Corrected.

We move into the 90s in the next 24 hours.

Thanks to The Villain for submitting his chosen 20, and the first entry, for the 90s.

[Giganticface]

I'd like to request adding Clean, Shaven to the master list.

Thanks to Kandarian Demon and realdealblues for submitting the 2nd and 3rd entry of 20 films for the 90s.

[neverending]

What a lot of crap. I had to go through the list twice, and look up half familiar titles, just to find 20.

[realdealblues]

What a lot of crap. I had to go through the list twice, and look up half familiar titles, just to find 20.

I agree. I went through the list like the other decades and tried to find ones that immediately stick out as being something really special. I had like 9 on the first pass. There are a lot of stupid ones that I like from the 90's, but I don't necessarily consider them required viewing or among the horror elite. It was tough to find ones that really stuck out from that era.

[Straker]

Man Bites Dog isn't in the master list, but its gonna be making my top 20...

Want me to add it? These films (Clean, Shaven as well) are listed under crime/drama in IMDB. Are they horror films in the true sense of the word or bordering on horror? One of the reasons why I didn't add I Stand Alone to the Master List.

I think its what I would class as borderline and to be honest, as much as I love the movie, I doubt I would've included it in any of the other eras, purely because the depth of quality has been much stronger. I've wanted to keep my lists as strong on horror as possible, sometimes omitting personal favourites in favour or 'full on' horror.

Not sure its worth adding to the master list, I just made the post to remind people who had forgotten about the film, but would've added it. :cool:

[Sculpt]

Unless Im just missing it, I dont think you have Gamera (Guardian Of The Universe)1996, but there's Gamera 2 and 3 there. I didn't even know they exist till I saw the list, but from what Im reading they're some of the best giant monster movies ever done, especially 2. I got to check them out.

Want me to add it? These films (Clean, Shaven as well) are listed under crime/drama in IMDB. Are they horror films in the true sense of the word or bordering on horror? One of the reasons why I didn't add I Stand Alone to the Master List.

There are already a bunch of movies in the master list that aren't straight horror: Reindeer Games, Kiss the Girls (crime drama), Jurassic Park (action/adventure), Cannibal the Musical (comedy). Even some of the best from the decade are a step removed from horror -- Se7en, Army of Darkness, The Frighteners -- but I'll still rank them because they're so good, and close enough. I've gotta have at least one actual scary movie on my list though, so I picked Clean, Shaven as the borderline horror to add. Man Bites Dog and I Stand Alone are good candidates too.

[Giganticface]

Also, if we're going by IMDB ratings, one that's probably a lock to make the final 20, Silence of the Lambs, is listed as "crime, drama, thriller." Same with Se7en, and actually quite a few on the list.

So, I guess what I'm asking is (since the first time I just heard crickets :) )... can we add Clean, Shaven, because it's probably in my top 10 for the decade? From a psychological horror and body horror standpoint, it's really not a stretch at all. Plus the whole serial killer thing.

Also, if I could just comment at a higher level... I know you guys had that thread a while back on what might help increase activity on these forums... I know I'm still pretty new here, but I will say that the amount of resistance on this thread sniffs a bit of elitism. It doesn't seem like it should be that big a deal to add a film to the list. Half the movies on the list are crap, and the ones being suggested (past decades too) are ones that actual horror fans believe actually deserve a vote. If no one else agrees, it won't get votes -- Big deal. I don't know, it just seems close minded, and its not that surprising that people don't stick around. In the end, it doesn't matter much to me what's on the list, it just makes it less fun to participate.

[_____V_____]

Overreacting much, are we?

Check the Master List, Giganticface. The first time you requested the film to be added, I added it without a moment's hesitation and without any questions asked. I was merely asking if these films were straight up horror or bordering on it. Guess we have to draw a line somewhere. Tomorrow when the sticky is up, someone else will come in and comment that these films aren't horror and what are they doing in there? Guess my question was legit?

"amount of resistance on this thread sniffs a bit of elitism" - I guess I will have to re-read all the pages from the beginning to see this "amount of resistance" and "elitism" you are hinting to.

And the last 2 lines of your reply are pretty much uncalled for. Maybe you should read the thread from the beginning as well. Or am I to assume that you are an older banned member who's returned under another name to stir trouble yet again?

This project was dead and buried a long, long time ago. I revived it in the hope that we might see a bit more traffic and have some old members returning, who might be lurking in the shadows. So far everything I have done in the thread has been democratic, including finalising the final 20 for an era - unlike the previous stickied 100s where the involvement of all members was restricted to sending in their top 10/15/20 only. The final selection was done by a panel of judges/jury who were either selected by any/all members, or secretly selected amongst themselves.

Guess I should be burned at the stake for resurrecting this project and getting all members involved all through the selection process, shouldn't I?

And one final point to re-iterate that "amount of resistance" thing you cropped up - have you seen a single instance where I have interjected or put in my opinions/choices throughout this thread? I am staying impartial, and not even submitting my top 20 OR my choices when the final selections are being done. The final 20 selections are being done according to the majority of support/backing which YOU people go for.

For your information, the total number of lists I post for an era is of members ONLY. None are from me, and you won't see my opinions/choices overrule everyone else's. If this is not being completely fair, then I am happy to hand over everything related to this project to you. Feel free to take over. I will be very glad to pass this on.

Hey V, I see I've offended you, which was not my intent, and I certainly did not mean to minimize all the hard work you've done on this thread. My apologies. I was just providing an opinion, and you can either listen to it or dismiss it.

I suppose my main point is that each time I've suggested a film, you're response was never, "Added to the list." It was either something like "you guys can debate it" or, in the latest case, dead silence. (I didn't realize you added Clean, Shaven. A quick response would have cleared that up.)

And just to clarify... No, I'm not an ex-banned member, and yes I've read the entire thread, although IMO the policy of "Don't speak unless you've read all 38 pages" seems a bit draconian. My feedback was supposed to be constructive, and I truly am sorry if it didn't come across that way.

[neverending]

Internet communication is often tricky. This is a worthy project and if we all stick through it, it'll be a great addition to the site.

You're doing a great job V!

The other suggestions you made were for the 70s - Straw Dogs & A Clockwork Orange - are definitely two very debatable films if inclusion into pure horror is taken into account, per se. That's why I left it open for debate, with the clause that if enough people would be in favor of them, they would be included. Nobody else responded (except roshiq for the former), and we finished finalising the top 20 for the 70s but the point wasn't raised again, either by you or by any other member, so we moved on.

Other than those, there are no other recommendations given by you from outside the Master Lists in the 22 other posts you have posted in this thread, other than Clean, Shaven for the 90s, which was included without question.

No worries man. I'm not going to debate it with you. It's like if your wife tells you you made her feel bad, and instead of listening to what made her feel bad, you try to convince her that she was wrong to feel bad.

No big deal; water under the bridge. Pretend I never said anything. Let's get back to taking horror, and how the 90s is sucky compared to past decades. :)

[xX_StarChild_Xx]

Submitted my top 20 for the 90's.

[_____V_____]

Thanks to Straker and xX_StarChild_Xx for submitting their entries for the 90s, and to metternich1815 for submitting his entry for the 80s.

Entries for both decades are still open. I hope to see more before we bring in the Y2K era and start compiling the 80s.

[xX_StarChild_Xx]

I'll get on the 80's when I get to a proper computer. :)

I'm so sorry I'm late with this, V! I'll get it to you this week, ok?

You know what I think would be cool? After 2010 is completed, and we look at the lists, after consideration, there may be a couple movies in each decade that don't belong, or should be replaced. Perhaps you could take submissions from us members where we propose to replace one film on the list with another, and put it up to vote. I just think that would be kinda fun. = )

Not a big fan of this idea, purely because we have already had discussions on the lists. Probably around 30% of the movies chosen weren't automatic choices so there was plenty of opportunity to back movies we wanted to see in the final list.

[_____V_____]

Don't worry, Straker. The chosen films will stay, and the debates/votes for the films of those eras will stand and be respected. We are not revisiting the decades already done through.

Thanks to hammerfan for submitting her entry for the 90s.

[Sculpt]

I probably feel that way because I happened to miss all the debate/discussions; there was a tight window on those. I tried, but my comments were always deemed too late. Oh well, no biggy. Just thought it would be fun.

[Sculpt]

Just finished my top 20 for 1990. Ya, not a great decade of horror. There were some good movies in the list I personally decided I couldn't include in horror, although my top 10 is filled with some 'borderliners'. I'll PM that in a minute.

Also, just a reminder (of my quoted post), looking at the Master List post, under "G's" I don't see Gamera, Guardian Of The Universe 1996, unless the Master List you refer to isn't in this thread?

Thanks, V!

Don't worry. Even if a film isn't included in the Master List, it will end up in the compilation work denoted as an entry from outside the Master List.

And for the record, all Master Lists I refer to are in this thread only, and all of them are listed from IMDB. As I have posted 3-4 times earlier in this thread, we are using IMDB as a base for the Master Lists of all decades.

Tossed in.

Thanks for submitting your entry as well.

[metternich1815]

I understand what everyone has been saying, but I actually think that there were quite a few good or even really good movies from the 1990s. I will probably submit my list in a day or two (maybe less).

[Sculpt]

Edit -- never mind; all good.

Damn it, I could have sworn I looked at the master list post before I hit the submit button on my last post. Sorry, Z.

In my defense, I first asked to have Gamera add 6/6; and at the very least, I do know it wasn't added until after my reminder post on 6/14, and I see V updated the master list post 6/14, after my reminder post. I must have misinterpreted Z's response, when he wrote, "Don't worry. Even if a film isn't included in the Master List, it will end up in the compilation work denoted as an entry from outside the Master List.", I thought that meant he wasn't going to add it the master list. I was just plumb wrong. I apologize.

[_____V_____]

Sorry, Z.

...and I see V updated the master list...

I must have misinterpreted Z's response...

Hmm...if I am V (and correctly addressed above as well), who's Z?


Bring on the 00's!

I was a bit busy during this weekend so haven't compiled the 80s yet. Will post the 2000s in a day or two.

And finally, here we are with the 2000s, in the form of the third Master List from the Third Era.

Be minded that entries for the 90s are still open, and we start compilation work on the 80s within the next 48 hours.

The 2000s is a 12-year period, from 2000 to 2012. Since we started with 1897's Le Manoir Du Diable, I thought it's only fitting we stretch it to 2012, which would make it 115 Years Of Horror, and a fitting compilation, including the oldest film to the youngest film in our genre.

REMINDER! - You have to send 22 choices (instead of 20) for this period.



THIRD SET OF THE THIRD ERA - THE 00s

Here's the third set of films from the third era of horror, through 2000 till 2012.

It's a really huge and comprehensive period for contemporary horror, and so, even while limiting to scoring more than 500 votes per film (as per IMDB), the total tally has gone up to a staggering 1675 films!!

Not surprising, because it includes almost 200 direct-to-video films, plus many other foreign films which gained widespread popularity all around the world.

And in case you are curious about the number between 499 votes and 100 votes on IMDB, it's around 2000+. It will make this compilation too exhaustive, plus I think we have 95% of the good films covered in our Master List of over 500 IMDB votes.

For the translated titles, submitters are advised to make a trip to IMDB, copy-paste the said title into the box and click on Search. The corresponding English title can be found on the film's IMDB page. When you send in your entry for such a film, please send the original title along with the translated English name.

Again, a few noteworthy TV films, shorts & documentaries have been added.

Just now got my 1990s list in. It was not as difficult as my list for the 1980s, but it was still relatively difficult because, in my opinion, there were quite a number of good horror movies in the 1990s.

[_____V_____]

Big thanks to metternich1815 for submitting his list for the 90s, and to The Villain for submitting the first list of 22 choices for the 2000s.

Entries for both periods of horror are still open. We wade into the 80s compilation in the next 36 hours.

[Giganticface]

Wow, there are so many good movies from the 2000s. This might be harder than the 80s, although not really because with the 80s I felt like I had to leave classics off the list. The 2000s are too new to be classics.

[Giganticface]

Would it make sense to split Grindhouse (2007) into the two movies so they can be voted on independently?

The makers deemed it as one single movie and a complete experience when they made it and released it initially. Splitting them was a marketing ploy by the studio. We should side with the makers and regard it as a single movie as well. Plus, that will allow us to add one more good film into the final top 22.

No worries. I think for all practical purposes, it's two separate movies, and most people will watch them (and evaluate them) separately, but good point that Tarantino and Rodriguez intended them to be watched in as a single, complete experience, simulating a double feature. Plus it has all those awesome fake trailers. And yeah, anything to get more movies in the finals. :) There are a lot of good ones.

...

My top 20 for the 90s is in. As dismal as I thought it would be, there actually were a lot a excellent movies in the 90s, although many are not straight up horror. Lots of dark crime thrillers, with some crossing over into horror enough to be make sense in the rankings. Also, quite a few horror comedies.

Here's my next 20, like I posted for the 80s. I think rankings 21-40 is a good indicator of the decade's quality and depth. Compared to my 80s "next 20," I think its a minor step down. Rankings 41-60, however, is a much bigger dropoff compared to the 80s.

21 Cure (1997)
22 Tremors (1990)
23 It (1990)
24 Man Bites Dog (1992)
25 Cemetery Man (1994)
26 Begotten (1990)
27 In the Mouth of Madness (1994)
28 Stir of Echoes (1999)
29 Body Melt (1993)
30 Alien 3 (The Assembly Cut) (1992)
31 Cube (1997)
32 Schramm: Into the Mind of a Serial Killer (1993)
33 The Curse of the Blair Witch (1999)
34 Event Horizon (1997)
35 Dracula (1992)
36 Mute Witness (1994)
37 Tesis (aka Thesis) (1996)
38 Splatter: Naked Blood (aka Megyaku) (1996)
39 From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
40 Thinner (1996)

I definitely agree. There were actually quite a few excellent movies in the 1990s. Interestingly, a few of the films you have on your 21+ list, I have on my top 20. As for Grindhouse, I have never seen that. I assume by your statements that it is good? Are both films good or just one of the two? If so, I will have to add it to my Netflix queue or buy it.

Both Grindhouse movies are good, but also quite different. Tarantino and Rodriguez have pretty different styles. The intent was to pay homage to (or really, almost recreate, but with some satire) exploitation films of the 70s. Both directors did a great job of adding pops, noise and graininess to the picture, complete with "bad" editing, etc. Really fun to watch, I thought. However, Tarantino didn't seem to commit quite as much to the project because he couldn't resist his trademark style of bantering dialog, which seemed a bit out of place and too specific to his own style.

I liked both movies a lot, although I'd have to see if either would make my top 22 (or just the one since we're calling it one movie). My hunch is they actually might not because I can think of at least a dozen movies from this era off the top of my head that are amazing and would rank higher. It's the era of the Splat Pack after all. :D

I have always considered them two different films, as I didn't go to the cinema to see them (which at this point I kind of regret). They are definitely both worth watching, though I've always preferred "Planet Terror" to "Death Proof" as the latter, as you said was riddled with too much dialogue. However, to it's credit, Kurt Douglas gives one of his best performances as Stuntman Mike. :D

But yes, Metternich: They are both pretty good flicks, especially if you are fond of exploitation flicks from that era. I think you would really appreciate all the work that was put into making them seem like authentic pieces from the period. :)

[metternich1815]

Okay, then I will definitely have to check out the two films featured in Grindhouse.

TWELVE films have made it in, by a vote percentage of at/over 50%.

We need to select EIGHT more, preferably from the DEBATABLE section. If everyone is in agreement, we can toss in those films which have scored 5 votes and 4 votes, which are eight in number, and thus we get our chosen top 20. Or, we can debate over the other films, pick up those which are lower in the vote list with some solid backing, and hammer out the 20 in that way.

Let's hear 'em.

[neverending]

Oh my... very surprised to see so many really excellent films getting so few votes, like Near Dark, Blue Velvet and Ms. 45.
I recommend all those, BTW, along with
Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer
Basket Case
Videodrome
And... dear God.... which 2 out of about 10 worthy choices?
Scanners
Pet Semetary

[neverending]

Just submitted my list for the 2000s, and I want to say... looking at a list like the 2000s master list, really should put an end to those who keep crying that horror is dead and such.

Even given the amount of crap, driven by the fact so many films in total were produced, the best of the best reveal something I personally found shocking- horror is back, and with a vengeance. Some of the best horror movies ever made come from the past 12 years.

If you eliminate the constant stream of inferior remakes, really bad direct to video drek, American remakes of foreign films, and such... the intelligent viewer can find a lot to like. I cut a lot of really good films from my list of 22.

The re-emergence of supernatural storylines, over slashers, is a contributing factor, IMO, as is the amount of quality international films, especially Asian cinema.

Horror is back on track, after some dismal times.

[The Villain]

I'd like to back:
Demons
Cannibal Holocaust
Friday the 13th Part 2
Pet Sematary
Child's Play
Cujo
Friday the 13th Part III
Predator
The Gate
The Lost Boys

[Sculpt]

I'd like to back:

From Debatable list:

The Fly (1986) - 4 One of the best horror movies of all time. by David Cronenberg
Scanners (1981) - 3 (backed by neverending) Amazing and engrossing movie! by David Cronenberg
The Howling (1981) - 3 Best modern reality take on werewolves since the Wolfman.
The Return of the Living Dead (1985) - 4 Fun, very well made film
Christine (1983) - 3 Very sharp and slick horror movie by John Carpenter
Videodrome (1983) - 5 (backed by neverending) Amazing original movie by David Cronenberg
Day of the Dead (1985) - 3 Better than average.


Id like to back from Single Votes List:

They Live (1988) How did this only get one vote? I dont recall if that was my one vote or not. Very original script. Ending didn't meet the high standard of the rest of film, in my opinion, but a classic. by John Carpenter


Notes:

Motel Hell was famous in it's time (i think that's my 1 vote). It's a classic, but I wouldn't say it's in league with The Thing, Aliens, etc.

Blue Velvet is classic, seen it many times; but I can't give my backing, only cause I really don't consider it horror.

Hear! Hear!

One of the main reasons why this thread here (http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57683) assumes so much significance.

Big thanks to neverending for submitting the 3rd entry for the 2000s. I await plenty more!

And, all opinions for the 80s so far have been added. Keep them coming.

[Straker]

Where to start....

The Changeling: The fact that this isn't an automatic selection is the biggest shock of the entire selection process for me.... Was I really the only person who had this in their top 20? I feel like I must've made a mistake and not added it to my list, because I truly cant believe no one else voted for it.... It amongst the best the era has to offer, easily. This is one of the most perfect haunted house movies and is absolutely overflowing with atmosphere and tension.

George C. Scott is outstanding and is aided by a fine supporting cast, including the great Melvyn Douglas. The séance scene is probably the best example of a scene that has been recycled countless times in horror.... No blood and gore, just pure horror. If you don't vote for it, then at least go out of your way to watch this movie, because it really is a true classic of the genre.

If I could only back one movie to make the top 20 it would be The Changeling, without question.

Other's that have been backed that I'd like to support:

Scanners
Demons
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer


There are a few more movies that I'd like to back (The Blob, Basket Case, Hellraiser II!!!) and throw my support behind, but I'd rather wait until the other listed movies find their way into the top 20 first.... One more thing I want to reiterate is: If you haven't watched The Changeling, go watch it before it's too late to get it in the top 20 and if you have, then how did it not make your top 20?! :p

[Straker]

Totally agree with what's being said about the 2000s too... I really didn't enjoy throwing my 90s list together, it felt kind've weak compared to other eras, especially after the first 10 or so movies, but the 2000s is a much stronger era and despite a lot of Hollywood trash it still has plenty of depth and some genuine quality.... Will get my list finished over the next few days.

[Kandarian Demon]

I've sent my list.

I have to say that my absolute favourite movie from this era (and of all time) (Edit: meant to say one of my favouites of all time) wasn't on the master list... "Rose Red"! "The Gravedancers" was another obvious choice for me that wasn't on the list... but obviously there's been a crazy amount of horror movies made in the last 12 years!!

I agree, by the way - a lot of good movies to choose from. Even if I don't always like the newest "trends". It's really only the 90s that I didn't like much.

[metternich1815]

I'll back:
Henry: Portrait of a Serial KIller
The Fly
Predator
Pet Sematary
The Fog
The Howling
Sleepaway Camp
The Beyond

[_____V_____]

I have to say that my absolute favourite movie from this era (and of all time) wasn't on the master list... "Rose Red"!

TV mini-series.

It's in the list.

Thanks for submitting your entry.

Big thanks to everyone for your inputs regarding the 80s. We now have THREE more films joining the final chosen 20, which takes our tally to 15.

We need to finalise FIVE more.

Keep the inputs/opinions coming.

Hmm yeah you're right, I just never tought of it that way... but, so is "It". But never mind, just wanted to mention that that would have been my first choice :)

Cannibal Holocaust

Yep. That's why It was not a part of the 90s Master List.

----------------

We have found our 16th chosen one from the 80s. Still need to finalise 4 more.

[The Villain]

I'll back The Howling and Basket Case as well

[_____V_____]

...and we have our 17th and 18th top choices for the 80s.

Need to finalise TWO more.

[realdealblues]

I'll back "Child's Play" & "Day Of The Dead"

[metternich1815]

I have just finished and sent in my list for 2000-2012. I have to say that, as I have said before, I will have to disagree with several people on here. While the period of 2000-2012 has definitely had some really good films; I think that the 1990s actually had a significantly higher number of good films. In fact, my list for the 1990s was much harder to do than my list for 2000-2012. It definitely is not bad as what some people have said. There are a number of great films like Saw, Final Destination, The Ring and the like, but overall, there are actually fewer great films than what I imagined.

The thing is, it depends on what you like - it's easy to forget when debating movies that it IS a matter of taste, and it isn't nescesarily bad taste against good taste. "My kind of horror" was pretty much dead in the 90s, and I hated how traditional special effects were replaced by, at the time, extremely fake looking CGI. But that doesn't mean that you or anyone else are "wrong" for thinking that the 90s were awesome.

Just curious, what is your type of horror? I am just surprised because some of the best horror films of the 90s were ones that did NOT rely on CGI, but instead on story, character development, and even used higher thinking by scaring through psychology. I respect other's views on horror of the 90s, but am surprised by so many that believe it was a bad decade for horror, despite quite a number of really excellent films (at least in my opinion).

[_____V_____]

Thanks to natedog722 for submitting entries for both the 90s and the 00s, and to metternich1815 for submitting his entry for the 00s.

We are in the process of finalising TWO more films for the 80s. Hopefully we start on the 90s by this weekend.

[natedog722]

I was not able to send my list in for the 1980s, but if I am allowed to provide my opinion, then I would back The Fog, The Fly, The Return of the Living Dead, and Christine.

[_____V_____]

Thank you. We now have our 19th film for the 80s.

http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost.php?p=951373&postcount=424

Just ONE more needs to be finalised.

[Giganticface]

The 80s list is looking strong. Before I throw in a backing for a different film, I'd like to make a case for Cannibal Holocaust. Hopefully it can garner another backing and make the final list because it's one of the most impactful horror movies I've ever seen. I understand that it's not for everyone, but hopefully it will be judged on its merits and not purely on taste.

First off, I think it would be good to add breadth to the lists. Not many exploitation films have made it (because they've been beaten by better films), but this one transcends exploitation via self-satirization and irony. It also serves as a transition from 70s grindhouse to an era of "proper," and generally respectable, horror that took off in the 80s. If you're put off by the real animal killings, which is totally understandable, hopefully the assurance that all the animals were consumed by the natives, as they regularly did, helps alleviate that.

Regarding the film, its story and its execution, I find it to be truly unique and impeccably executed. I'm amazed that the real-life natives are almost better actors than the actors. I have no idea how Deodato accomplished that. It's one of the reasons the movie feels so real. That, and the intermixing of Animal Kingdom-style footage and mondo real death video (which, as part of the storyline, is a "faked" documentary), causes the line between reality and fiction to blur to the point that the viewer is subconsciously confused, and the acted violence becomes significantly more disturbing that it would have been otherwise. This is a stroke of genius by Deodato.

The story is brilliant, consisting of two excursions -- the second team setting out to solve the mystery of the first team's disappearance, a story which is revealed incrementally via footage that the second team found. The footage revealed that the true horror was just as much due to human nature, of which the exploitative and, eventually evil, Westerners are bound to, as it was to the cannibalistic nature of the natives. It should also be mentioned that the found footage aspect of this film predates the "original" found footage film, The Blair Witch Project, by nearly 20 years, and that it was so well executed that Deodato was actually tried in a criminal court for suspicion of killing his actors.

Cannibal Holocaust outdid all of its subgenre predecessors, both in intelligent storytelling and execution, and effectively killed off the cannibal subgenre. After this one, there will never be a need for another one.

[metternich1815]

Hmm yeah you're right, I just never tought of it that way... but, so is "It". But never mind, just wanted to mention that that would have been my first choice :)

I have to say that I never saw it as a mini-series either because I watched the whole thing on a dvd. I don't know where Rose Red would have been on my list, but it probably would have been on my top 20 for the 1990s. I have to say, despite length, I have always enjoyed this film. I am sure the same is true with It, but I have always considered that film (or whatever) a little overrated.

[xX_StarChild_Xx]

If I already voted for Cannibal Holocaust in my top 20 of the 80s I can't back it can I?

I will if I can, as I think that, as Giganticface has addressed, it was a transcendent and immersive experience that blurred the lines between reality and fiction, made a very impactful and resonating statement about our lust for violence and exploitation of the same, while at the same time seemingly revel in what it itself makes us question. The duality of it all really strikes a chord with me, and I personally would be disappointed to not see it make the cut.

[Giganticface]

I think you can. The movies that I backed (Basket Case, Cannibal Holocaust, Videodrome) were already in my top 20.

[Kandarian Demon]

Just curious, what is your type of horror? I am just surprised because some of the best horror films of the 90s were ones that did NOT rely on CGI, but instead on story, character development, and even used higher thinking by scaring through psychology. I respect other's views on horror of the 90s, but am surprised by so many that believe it was a bad decade for horror, despite quite a number of really excellent films (at least in my opinion).

In short, supernatural horror. Something that can't be destroyed with a machine gun. And sure, they made supernatural horror movies in the 90s, but that specific genre seemed a little dead at the time. When I think of 90s horror, I think of boobs and childish toilet humour (as in "Scream", which I think is the movie that best sums up everything I disliked about 90s horror)

It was also a time where many horror movies were scarred by really horrible acting. Sure, there's ALWAYS been bad acting in horror - but I guess around that time, the talented, classic horror actors were either no longer around or too old, and sadly they were never replaced. But at least at this point in time, I think we are beginning to see better acting in horror again.

[xX_StarChild_Xx]

I back Cannibal Holocaust. :)

I have to agree that supernatural movies were relatively dead in the 90s, which explains why you probably didn't like that period. Personally, I like virtually every sub-genre of horror with the exception of the torture and exploitation ones. As far as Scream, I am not sure what you are referring to? I think you are meaning Scary Movie. If you had a different intention you may correct me. Personally, I loved Scream because it was one of the most brilliant and witty horror movies up to that time. Additionally, it helped to revive horror movies. I also thought it was a great psychological thriller. I liked the other Scream films, but they are not as great as the original. So, I guess we are on opposite sides on this (not that there is anything wrong with that, I am just making an observation).
As for acting, I am not entirely sure what you are talking about. I don't think the acting was any better or worse than other time periods. There were some really good actors in my opinion for example Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal, Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Kevin Spacey in Se7en, Kane Hodder as Jason (even when the movies he was in weren't good, he still delivered a really great performance), Tony Todd as Candyman. These are just a few of many great performances in the 90s. So, I don't think that I agree that acting was bad in the 90s. Ultimately, while supernatural films, with the notable exception of The Blair Witch Project, were dead, I still think that the 1990s was a great period for horror movies because some of the greatest horror movies in horror movie history, at least in my opinion, were made during this period.

[_____V_____]

If I already voted for Cannibal Holocaust in my top 20 of the 80s I can't back it can I?

Yes, you can.

And that helps us nail the 20th chosen one for the 80s. Thanks, guys.

Entries for the 90s are open for the next 48 hours, before we start compilation work for the decade.

Keep the entries for the 00s coming. I expect plenty more lists by this weekend.

[Kandarian Demon]

As far as Scream, I am not sure what you are referring to? I think you are meaning Scary Movie. If you had a different intention you may correct me.

I'm afraid I did mean Scream, although I do tend to mix it up with Scary Movie. I've never watched the Scream sequels though, so I can't comment on those, but I've watched the original twice. I didn't find it scary or spooky at all, and it just wasn't my kind of humour, I guess.

But, just because I didn't personally like it doesn't mean it's crap. I love to debate, if I didn't I would be here - but something that entertains thousands of people all over the world and makes them happy obviously has value, no matter what my personal taste or opinion is.

Well, of course there are exceptions - although I don't really consider Se7en or Silence of the Lambs to be horror, but that's just my opinion. I guess the best way to explain what I mean is to tell you that some of my absolute favourite movies are the famous Poe movies starring Vincent Price - particularly "House of Usher". I think that was a very spooky movie, even though it was just 4 actors in an old house and a lot of well-delivered dialogue.

Or "The Haunted Palace" (yes, I know... Lovecraft, not Poe :p) - there is this particularly frightening scene where Vincent Price's character looks up at the painting of Joseph Curwen, and his face goes from gentle to pure evil in a split second. No special effects, just good acting. I almost peed my pants the first time I saw it :D That's the kind of stuff I miss, and I think that ended around the 90s, where nobody even tried because it just wasn't in fashion.

But yes, sure, there were good movies too. The one that really stands out for me, even though many people dislike that movie, is the remake of "House on Haunted Hill" - and I especially enjoyed it because of the great performance of Geoffrey Rush.

I understand many of your arguments, but, personally I love Scream. In fact, it is my favorite horror film. I primarily enjoy how it satirized the horror genre. I agree that there were no actors of the likes of Vincent Price or Peter Cushing, but that is true of multiple decades. Personally, I think that the acting was better than in the 80s though, even though there were good movies and performances then too. I have always had a broad definition of horror and I think that the horror theme sin Se7en and The SIlence of the Lambs are quite prevalent, thus making them horror movies. Of course, "horror movie" really is an open-concept with no clear definition. I would also include horror comedies like Young Frankenstein into horror. I was never a big fan of the remake and I enjoyed the original far better.

[Kandarian Demon]

Of course, "horror movie" really is an open-concept with no clear definition.

It is! Especially when it comes to the darker crime movies. Just because something is scary doesn't make it horror, though. I'm frightened by war movies, I won't even watch them, but I wouldn't classify them as horror.

Sitting down to compile the 90s tonight. Expect the Master List up in the next 18 hours.

Sitting down to compile the 90s tonight. Expect the Master List up in the next 18 hours.

I just sent mine in like five minutes ago. Will it be included (just curious)?

[_____V_____]

I just sent mine in like five minutes ago. Will it be included (just curious)?

Yes .

[tiberius]

Despite being a horror comedy, I am surprised that Dale and Tucker Vs Evil is not on the master list. It might be hilarious, but it has a great deal of horror and violence even if it is not scary.

[tiberius]

Never mind. I just realized it was Tucker and Dale, not Dale and Tucker.

[Giganticface]

I started compiling my list for the 2000s+. Black Swan will will definitely be near the top.

Others that have a shot are:

* Donnie Darko
* Inland Empire
* Requiem for a Dream

If we're giving labels to stuff, these might fall in some category like "surreal psychological horror thrillers" or something, where Requiem and Black Swan also qualify as body horror.

Now that I know that movies don't have to be in the Master List to be submitted, it makes no difference to me whether they're added. I just thought I'd throw them out there.

[metternich1815]

Giganticface and xX_StarChild_Xx, I just wanted to let you know that I got to watch Grindhouse (movies separate). I thought it was really good. Despite being both great, I will say that I preferred Death Proof. It had a great performance by Kurt Russel, while also being a very thoroughly entertaining movie. Planet Terror was good, but certainly much more humorous and over-the-top compared to Death Proof. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed both films in Grindhouse.

[Giganticface]

Cool. Glad you liked them. Yeah, Death Proof had to grow on me, but I ended up liking it a lot. Stuntman Mike is a great character. Although I liked Planet Terror better the first time around, if I were to watch one of them again it would be Death Proof.

Awesome man! Yeah, to each their own, my friend. I enjoyed Death Proof, don't get me wrong, but I found Planet Terror to be more in line with my sensibilities in that it was over the top and humorous. I've always enjoyed my horror films with a healthy dash of humour, either intentional or not. ;) Stuntman Mike was awesome though, and I've always enjoyed Tarantino's films. :)

[Giganticface]

(* = not in the original 90s Master List)



TEN films have made it in, by a vote percentage of at/over 50%.

We need to select TEN more, preferably from the DEBATABLE section.

If everyone is in agreement, we can toss in all films which have scored 6 votes and 5 votes (SEVEN in total), and pick 3 films from the 4-votes section, and thus we get our chosen top 20. (although how Leprechaun managed to get the favor of 6 listers is beyond my comprehension)

Or, we can debate over the other films, pick up those which are lower in the vote list with some solid backing, and hammer out the 20 in that way.

So, let's hear your thoughts - backing, seconding and otherwise.

[_____V_____]

Thanks to tiberius and Straker for submitting their 22 choices for the 00s.

[neverending]

Wow... so I guess I was the only one who voted for Fear and Stir of Echoes. I thought Fear was pretty scary the first time I saw it. Certainly a lot better than much of the crap that's got multiple votes in this list.

[realdealblues]

If everyone is in agreement, we can toss in all films which have scored 6 votes and 5 votes (SEVEN in total), and pick 3 films from the 4-votes section, and thus we get our chosen top 20.

Sounds fine to me V, except maybe make last 3 entries from the remaining films, not just those with 4 votes so that everyone can make their arguments.

[metternich1815]

I'll back the following films:

Bram Stoker's Dracula- One of the most brilliant adaptations of Dracula and actually followed relatively closely to the book (with the major exception of the romance being added). It included some terrific performances by Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins and some really good special effects.

I Know What You Did Last Summer- An interesting mystery, which is also a slasher. It created the villain known as the Fisherman. As was common with the slashers created due to Scream, the killer was mortal, rather than immortal. Definitely a worthy addition to the list.

In the Mouth of Madness- One of the most underrated John Carpenter films. The film is about an individual whose horror books are causing people to commit violent actions, which may ultimately leading to the end of the world. This film was very effective at blurring the lines between real and non-real. Also a pretty excellent performance by Neil.

Wishmaster- This is an interesting film that largely went unnoticed in 1997. I actually greatly enjoy this film. It follows the myth of the Djinn relatively closely. What I like the most is that they throw this myth into a modern world. Although an unlikely villain (he can only grant wishes), it is very effective at using him. The way he grants the wishes is the most interesting part of this film. Plus, it includes cameos by Angus Scrimm (I heard he was in it, although I did not notice what part), Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, and Tony Todd.

From Dusk till Dawn- Another unique vampire film from the 1990s. What is interesting about this film is that it can be both serious and humor. In my opinion, it does to vampires what Zombieland will do to zombies. It also includes some terrific performances and a cameo by Tom Savini. The special effects are pretty good, especially for the time. Definitely an excellent film.

Cube- Cube is an intriguing psychological thriller. This film shares a number of similarities with a later film known as Saw. Both films include a group of people trapped somewhere that must try to survive a series of traps, in order to survive. Despite being similar and having similar set ups, this film more effectively explores humanity. It is interesting to see how the characters slowly descend into paranoia and even sacrifice their morals in order to survive (this is especially true of the supposed hero). Definitely one of the greatest films of the period.

Deep Blue Sea- One of the most interesting and unique shark films since Jaws. There have been literally dozens or more shark films that have been made since Jaws, but this is one of the only, if not only, films that is actually nearly as good as that film. It is very effective at exploring the nature of humanity and the dangers of science. Additionally, it includes some really good performances. Definitely a worthy film to add to the top 20.

Predator 2- A very good continuation of the story established in Predator (1987). Although this film is not essential to a top 20 list for the 1990s, I do believe that it is an excellent film, which is more realistic than its predecessor. The film also includes some really good performances, especially by Danny Glover. The special effects were really well done, as well. I also want to mention that this film, while still remaining serious, adds more humor than its predecessor. My favorite quote from the movie is: "It's alright I'm a cop.- Lieutenant Harrigan I don't think he gives a s***.- apartment tenant". Definitely an excellent film from this period.

Natural Born Killers- Yet another great psychological thriller from the 1990s. This film is very similar to the crime spree of Bonnie and Clyde, although in this film those two killers are eventually caught by the authorities. The primary theme behind this film is that the media glorifies violence and killers. Furthermore, the film includes some excellent performances by Harrelson and Lewis. Definitely a film that should make any top 20 horror list.

Bride of Chucky- Honestly, my favorite film from the Child's Play series. What I love the most about this film is that it makes reference to many other horror movies including, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Halloween, Hellraiser, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Omen. Additionally, I think it is quite hilarious. Many people have criticized that the series went from being serious to being self-parody. Honestly, how serious can a film with a killer doll be? I don't mean to be harsh, but I think there is a reason the series went in this direction.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare- This film is either my favorite or second favorite film in the Nightmare series. This film is one of the few, if not only, slasher movies that can actually scare me. Additionally, I thought the idea was very unique, especially how the people involved in the movie all played themselves. Additionally, the atmosphere and acting was really top-notch. Definitely an underrated film that is actually quite brilliant.

[The Villain]

I'll back:

Leprechaun
Cube
Sleepy Hollow

The Faculty

[Straker]

Cronos

I so want to take a vote off Deep Blue Sea, its such an awful movie, bad acting, weak ass plot, convoluted story, some of the worst editing you will see from a movie with a budget, just all around piss poor production....Same goes for Anaconda.

[Giganticface]

@neverending: I haven't seen Fear, but I'll take that recommendation.

@V: No doubt, Leprechaun?? Yikes.

I'll back:

Cronos
The Exorcist III
Ravenous

(Edit) Yep, I'll back Stir of Echoes too.

[_____V_____]

Still need NINE more. Keep the debates going!

EDIT - make that 12 chosen ones. EIGHT more to go.

[neverending]

Well, I guess I'll start backing a few.

Leprechaun (1993) - Leprechaun is a perfect glimpse of what horror became in the early 90's. It's ability to spawn so many sequels and still rake in cash is a testament to that. If someone wanted to know what horror was like in the early 90's I would easily point them at this film.

Dracula (1992) - Definitely one of the best Dracula stories with some great performances from Oldman and Hopkins.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) - Again completely represents late 90's Horror, not to mention our new scream queen of the time Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Wishmaster (1997) - Another in the realm of Leprechaun. A fun horror movie with the ability to spawn 3 sequels.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) - An important moment in 90's horror and the franchise. Bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis was such a buzz. While the movie itself may have been a let down to many fans it's importance at the time made it a must see.

The Exorcist III (1990) - After the disaster that was Exorcist II, to bring back the storyline with a far darker tone was a welcomed edition.

Tremors (1990) - Another significant entry for the 90's showing that giant monster movies could still rake in the bucks.

Up to 16 now. Need FOUR more.

I'm not sure if I understand this backing thing correctly, so just ignore me if I did something wrong :D

Wishmaster (1997)
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
Nightbreed (1990)
House on Haunted Hill (1999)
Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)
Warlock: The Armageddon (1993)

[natedog722]

I'll back End of Days, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Cube, and Leprechaun.

[neverending]

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way... I thought we were supposed to vote for what we think are the BEST films from that era... this is what frustrates me about every single one of these HDC lists. When crap like Leprechaun and Anything Vs. Anything makes it on to a best of anything list, I just want to gouge my eyes out and slit my wrists.

[metternich1815]

Cronos
The Exorcist III
Dracula
In the Mouth of Madness
Cemetary Man
Man Bites Dog
Stir of Echos (just missed out on my list, but I'd rather give a vote to this than see some of the other crap that is circling around the cut make it).

I so want to take a vote off Deep Blue Sea, its such an awful movie, bad acting, weak ass plot, convoluted story, some of the worst editing you will see from a movie with a budget, just all around piss poor production....Same goes for Anaconda.

Well, we are clearly on opposite sides on Deep Blue Sea because I actually love that film. In my opinion, its weakest thing is the CGI, but overall I think it is a great film. Okay, i'll admit it's not a classic like Jaws, but still really good. Even though I did not back Anaconda, I really like that movie too. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with disagreeing, I am just surprised that you are so strongly against those films.

[metternich1815]

Now that the 80s is settled, I thought I'd post my top 20. I'd be interested in seeing others' to get to know everyone's tastes.

1 The Shining (1980)
2 Evil Dead II (1987)
3 The Evil Dead (1981)
4 Poltergeist (1982)
5 The Thing (1982)
6 Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
7 The Fly (1986)
8 Santa Sangre (1989)
9 The Beyond (1981)
10 Angst (1983)
11 Videodrome (1983)
12 Psycho II (1983)
13 Bad Taste (1987)
14 Demons (1985)
15 Hellraiser (1987)
16 Basket Case (1982)
17 Men Behind the Sun (1988)
18 Possession (1981)
19 An American Werewolf in London (1981)
20 Pin (1988)

Here is my top 20 for the 1980s:
1. John Carpenter's The Thing
2. The Shining
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street
4. Aliens
5. The Evil Dead
6. Clive Barker's Hellraiser
7. Predator
8. Friday the 13th
9. Pet Sematary
10. The Fly
11. Silent Night, Deadly Night
12. John Carpenter's The Fog
13. Sleepaway Camp
14. Poltergeist
15. Gremlins
16. Child's Play
17. The Howling
18. Christine
19. Prince of Darkness
20. Re-Animator

Although, if I could make a change I would switch 4 and 7, just because now that I think of it I actually like Predator a pretty good amount more. Aliens is great, I just like Predator a bit more.

[Giganticface]

Thanks, guys. We have nailed our 11th chosen one.

Still need NINE more. Keep the debates going!

EDIT - make that 12 chosen ones. EIGHT more to go.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought we only needed three from the beginning. In that case, I also back:

Audition
Ringu
Natural Born Killers

And - sorry for the confusion - I wasn't backing Fear. Just taking neverending's recommendation to go see it.

[Straker]

I would definitely put Anaconda amongst the worst movies of the 90s in terms of budget vs final product, its tragic in so many ways... Each to their own, and I'm not having a go at anyone for their tastes, but they are pretty damn awful movies.

This made me chuckle out loud. Couldn't have said it better myself.

No offense, metternich. You are a super cool guy and a lot of fun, but those two movies suck huge donkey balls. If either of them made any top 20 list for an entire decade, that list would have no credibility. Just sayin'.

Seriously though. There's a difference between personally enjoying a movie, and thinking it should represent one the best movies of a decade. I have my own guilty pleasures -- movies that aren't great, but like them, and re-watch them, nonetheless. But that doesn't mean I think they should make the list. I also like a lot of alternative & genre-bending movies, which I might actually rank high because they're great movies (Possession, Clean,Shaven, Men Behind the Sun), but notice I'm not backing them because if no one else is voting for them, they shouldn't make the list.

C'mon people. Let's make it good.

Which two movies are you referring to? Anaconda and Deep Blue Sea? I respect your opinion, but I thought they were pretty well-made. I included Leprechaun on my list initially, but would knock it off, if I made another. I don't believe I included Anaconda on my list. I actually thought Deep Blue Sea was a really great film. I suppose different people have different ideas on what constitutes "great". I am truly shocked at the hate those two movies are getting. I have always considered them really good. No offense has been intended.

[Kandarian Demon]

I suppose different people have different ideas on what constitutes "great".

That is very true.

In my opinion, it would make no sense to include or NOT include movies based on other people's opinions. We are asked for our personal choices, and not to make a list of movies that we think are the most popular.

Who gets to decide what is crap and what isn't? Yes, there are movies so far on this list that I personally don't understand, and some that I think are missing - but just because the list doesn't reflect my personal taste, it doesn't mean it's worthless.

[neverending]

Standards! There have to be standards!

[metternich1815]

Standards! There have to be standards!

I definitely agree that Leprechaun and versus films do not need to be on this list. But, I am sure we would disagree with Wishmaster and Deep Blue Sea.

[The Villain]

What's with all the Leprechaun hate? Its not that bad

Honestly I don't see what everyone is complaining about. So what if people picked movies that don't deserve to be on these lists, is that going to change your views on horror or affect your opinions on those movies or others? Everyone has different personal preferences and just because they differ from yours doesn't make them wrong. Its just a list for fun. No need to get upset.

[metternich1815]

What's with all the Leprechaun hate? Its not that bad

I agree that it is pretty funny and I like to watch it from time to time. I just don't know if I would call it one of the best of the 1990s (top 20). I do agree with your second statement as well.

[Giganticface]

Which two movies are you referring to? Anaconda and Deep Blue Sea?

...

No offense has been intended.

Yep, those two movies.

I'm glad you didn't take my comments too hard. I didn't mean any offense either. All good.

Oh wait, you're taking about the "I'm the Leprechaun" Mike Meyers sketch on SNL. You're right, that was hilarious! :D. Just messin. Honestly though, I saw the movie once when it first came out and didn't like it. Maybe I should give it another chance... maybe for cult status? Is it good like in the Troll 2 kind of way or the Basket Case kind of way? Or is it actually good? Now you've got me intrigued.

On the "personal preferences" note, I get that. In general, I totally agree. This forum should be a place where people feel comfortable expressing their opinions, and shouldn't be criticized for it. But as far as this particular thread goes -- I don't know this for certain, but I assume it's an attempt to put together the overall best movies in the history of horror. I would think it's got to go a little bit beyond the random personal faves of the 11 people contributing to the list. I doubt V would be super excited if, after working for many many months on this project, he ended up with a bunch of stuff that the wider public generally considers crummy.

Hopefully I'm not coming across as upset. I'm not. It's all just for fun, for sure. I feel a little bad for joshing metternich.

[The Villain]

I think it represents where horror was in the 90's which is why i chose it and backed it. Is it the best, probably not, but its not terrible and to me stands out among the 90's horror movies

[metternich1815]

I understand what your saying and respect your opinion. For the record, it was on the list I sent in. Although I understand some of the disliking this movie, I think it has received a little too much hate.

[neverending]

Again I ask- aren't we supposed to be choosing the best films of the decade?

If you have a preponderance of crap, what use is making a list representing the crap? Let's comemorate the films that rise above the rest, that are worth rememboring.

I dislike mediocrity, but since a lot of people were raised on it, they mistake it for quality.

Hopefully you're reading this after I edited it. I reread what I originally wrote and feel I went overboard. Obviously everyone has a right to their opinion and if you feel like people are picking crap films you have a right to that and honestly some pretty bad films are getting included from me as well as others. After reading what Gigantic face wrote I understand more of what you're saying. Unfortunately most people puck films they personally like over what may be best because most people consider what they like best as actually being the best. Its why so many crappy movies get popularized. Hopefully people will vote better from here out so we can get a good list.

[neverending]

I'm asking this question because you and some others describe your choices as "representative of where horror was in that era." Objectively, that means nothing. Where is the bar? It's like grading on the curve. If 80% of the class scores a 25 out of 100, and you get a 30, you get an A. It doesn't mean you did well, you were just a little less crappy.

[Giganticface]

I'd rather have an honest list instead of just another typical list were people only pick what's considered popular or well known or just the usual choices.

That, I do agree with, wholeheartedly. There's a lot of same old same old out there. My top 20s all have choices that probably won't be getting a groundswell of votes. (Although - heh, no offense - they tend to be a bit more critically acclaimed than Leprechaun.)
