Looking at that Wikilist, the only other one I've seen is Paranormal Entity. That was truly awful.

No problem. Figured that was your mistake.

I'll have to agree with Roshiq that Home Movie is one of the best of this type of film.

I also found Paranormal Activity to be one of the best horror films of the 2000s. It's a shame so many people have lost the capacity to enjoy a film that takes the time to build up the atmosphere and create real characters that can be empathized with, instead of the modern formulaic style of a jump element every 8.3 minutes to regain the attention of audiences who are too busy sending text messages to pay attention to the subtleties of what's going on.

I'll have to check out Home Movie. I actually really liked Paranormal Activity. I just think its harder to enjoy it the second time around.

Has no one mentioned Man Bites Dog or Cannibal Holocaust yet?

The last Broadcast was a decent enough effort too.

The August Underground films would count too.

Interesting initial review of a film you "really liked:"

i think it's hype and mystique were the only things it had going for it. Repeat viewings expose this movie for what it is, redundant and boring.

I still liked it. The first time i watched it i was really into it and enjoyed it. I didnt find it redundant and boring until i watched it again just like i said. I know that can be said for a lot of movies but not to the extent that i felt this one did. I liked it a lot the first time i watched it, but i was just bored the second time around. I guess i should have explained that better.

Paranormal Activity was totally ruined for me by viewing in a theatre full of noisy teenagers...Messed up the atmosphere...

Theres a few other 'fake' snuff films that use the 'Found Footage/First person perspective' device:

The Last Horror Movie
Snuff
Tumbling Doll of Flesh
Snuff 102
Flower of Flesh and Blood/The Devils Experiment (as far as I remember)
Emanuelle in America (to a small degree)
