Every movie on the list has been assigned to someone. In the case of last night, I was tired & missed Jacob's Ladder, & I got LHotL from Austin after I went to bed. There are 2 or 3 people I haven't heard from at all that are starting to worry me. At the end of it, if they don't come through, I'll let someone else jump on the blurbs and write them so the entire list is filled. Anyways, back to work.;)

Let me do it then.....

Eh???EH???

Hmmm... so far, so good. I'm a little surprised that Army of Darkness wasn't higher on the list. It's my least favorite of the Evil Dead trilogy, but everyone seems to love it.

Keep up the good work, Flayed.

perhaps after the list is complete some of us could volunteer to fill in the gaps for the blurbs (i, for one, would love to write the one for Manhunter and perhaps a few others). . . love the list so far and think that the vast majority of blubs are amazing. . . can't wait to see the final 10!!!!

Besided one serious problem, I think it's turning out well.

BTW, this is hectic work, so if a entry appears that you wrote the blurb for without the blurb, feel free to send a friendly pm saying 'Hey fucker! I wrote that! *smack*' or something of the sort;)

I'm curious to hear what Austins problem is.

Not surprised to see 28 Days Later, but very surprised to see it as high as it is. Everytime it's talked about here seems like there's mixed feelings about it.

So 'Opera' is on the list?

Young opera singer who gets her chance when the star is gone. She's then stalked by a crazy fan who she's been dreaming about that wants her to himself.

Well doesn't that sound familiar.

Of course its a reworking of Phantom..... but its a hell of a lot better interpretation than the Andrew Lloyd Webber bullshit that came out a few years earlier (not to mention the awful Jullian Sands version - maybe you're mixed up with this?). This flick is quite possibly Argentos finest work because its coherrant and and has his trademark staged murder scenes only this time round he ups the savagery.
Needles taped to eyelids so there's no option for the female protagonist but to witness the butchery and reiceive a villianous headfuck from the "Phantom". Stabbed hands, ex-wives prying eyes blown away, scissor driven interrogation and disembowlment soundtracked by Italian thrash metal legends Steel Grave. This flick is gold and is reinvention of old subject matter (including Argentos) that spews intensity.
But yo.... you're like down with Jerry Maguire and can't see the merit in this? :rolleyes:

...Craven ignored what you would normally think of in terms of horror or thrills or violence, and instead he looked at what real people are capable of, which, of course, is a whole lot scarier than a knife...

well put tho dude.

geez...I m surprised Se7en didnt make it into the top 10...but maybe others dont regard it as highly as I do...oh well...this is saddening...:(

Don't get me wrong, I like the film, I was just disappointed that Phantom didn't make it(@Flayed-that's the problem I was talking about, not really a problem, just a disappointment like I said.) and...hell I don't know, I guess I was sorta taking it out on the decision to put a copy on the list. But it's a very good film which I do like quite a bit, if you like Phantom of the Opera has much as I do, then I don't see how you can't like Opera.
