A book I just read made the case for the ten most 'important' (which is clearly different than 'best') horror films of all time. They were:
Dracula (1931)
The Thing from Another World (1951)
Psycho (1960)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
The Exorcist (1973)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Halloween (1978)
Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Scream (1996)
The Sixth Sense (1999)

It made a pretty good case for them - though I dont' really think Silence is horror and I never cared or the Sixth Sense that much.

it's as if he's trying to come across all superior...and trying to tell us what we should think 'are' the best films.

I have nothing against you WaitxUntilxDark but i think its stupid that you will change your personal favorite movies just because some people give you a hard time about it. I mean This post is here for you to post your favs, not others peoples favs.

i think you'll find i'm a bastard

I never told him to change 'em I just gave my honest opinion of 'em.

of course I can't be sure about this but it seems like he just saw that show on VH1(100 scariest movie moments) and got way too influenced.

I fink u should add in some ore recent 1's!
Cos like....phyco its ok but surely boogey man and creep can surly beet them!
ITS CRAZY!!!!!!!!

You really are 12 aren't you?


He wants to make movies and he thinks boogeyman is better than Psycho...

We've got a Uwe Boll in training...

Damn - I missed "phyco" - but if its not as good as boogey man then I'm freaking happy that I missed it.

Oh - and for the record - Zwoti is definitely a bastard :D

Good lord no...don't listen to this fool, Psycho is a great film infinitely better than Boogeyman.

i fink anyone who delibererately types 'fink' instead of 'think' is a fucking fidiot.

I bet he'll tell you to thuck off!


:D

lmao!!!:D

darn tooting

but the best kind of bastard!!!:D

first of all the countdown was on bravo, not vh1, and it didn't influenceme. Although, the moment from cujo should have been higher. Also, the moment from when a stranger calls had me pulling on my hair, so it should have definetly(i know that's not the right spelling...i think anyway) been higher, in my opinion.

i know, it's just that i hadn't changed my list in about a year and i rewatched some of the movies and they didn't have the same impact i remember. but i'm going to blockbuster hopefully tomarrow and i can see some more foreign horror like Ringu. I also need to see the non watered down version of suspira(don't watch films on the independent film channel they get extremely watered down, but sundance film channel doesn't.)
Oh, and the girl who played Gogo Ubari in "Kill Bill: Volume 1, was in Ju-on: The Grudge. I forget who she was. Could someone please remind me.
i'm to afraid to see Salo. it's sounds to disturbing and disgusting.

your not using darn in the right context. The meaning of darn has something to do with rope and a bell or something like that.

WaitxUntilxDark it sounds like your a pretty big fan of Takashi Mikke, with Audition and Ichi The Killer. So Im sure youve heard of Gozu, this was one of my favorite films by this director. It disturbed me a great deal but i still loved it like crazy. I deffinantly suggest you should get this one, I believe you can get it at Best Buy, thats where i got mine. Some people will dissagree with my opinion of Gozu, lots of people dont like it. And if you havnt already dont waste your time on Takishi Miike's "MPD Psycho" movies. Thier not that fun compared to his others.....

i know what it means.....


...guess you've never heard that expression then :rolleyes:

i've heard the expression a million times, but according to the dictionary, it's something to do with a bell.
