It wasn't a very difficult choice for me. I probably shouldn't say this to a guy with your avatar, but I consider Hellraiser a good movie, not a great movie. The same for Evil Dead 2, although I do enjoy that one a hell of a lot. Now, I do love Opera, Monster Squad, Near Dark and The Lost Boys, but they don't resonate with me the way some of those titles from 77 do. Suspiria, The Hills Have Eyes, Rabid, Kingdom Of The Spiders, Hausu,..all among the most rewatchable films of their era. |

I guess one could say a films ability to resonate with people years later is one fair measure of all-time greatness. In that regard, Hills, Susperia, Sentinel and Rabid didn't really resonate with me (though I really enjoyed Susperia), but Eraserhead and Kingdom Spiders did. I can't say many 87' films resonated with me either. And I don't really put prestige in rewatchability. I just think 87 has a nice spread of styles and quality horror films like ED2, Predator, Angel Heart, Monster Squad, The Gate, Opera, Hidden, Lost Boys, Bad Taste, Near Dark & Creepshow 2... nice volume of quality. Just chattin' up while we wait. ::big grin:: |
I find ( and I think this is why I'm an 80's gal) that movies from a certain Era are ones that I watched with my kids and we had cozy times and it just evokes a nice memory. Monster Squad, The Gate, Lost Boys etc. I think that affects my voting as well.

1963...................1985
The Haunting...........Fright Night Day of the Triffids....Day of the Dead The Birds..............Return of the Living Dead The Raven..............Re-Animator Outer Limits series....Lifeforce Black Sabbath..........Vampire Hunter Diary of a Madman......Silver Bullet The Terror.............Phenomena (aka) Creepers 1985 has the numbers, but I think only one very good film. 1963 is just a little more iconic and original to me. 1963 |
1963
|
1963 has rallied but I think '85 takes this V. Too strong a year.
|
This is like pulling fucking teeth!!
Aaarrrghhh...%x@$! Ok...by the tiniest of fractions, 1963. I agree with Sculpt. Just one too many heavy hitters in that line up to be denied. |
85. Can't fight Re-Animator and Silver Bullet (the only King movie I enjoy).
