I've seen them all. The only one I didn't care for was Peeping Tom.

Is there any point in suggesting Psycho or The Birds?

Nope, but thank you anyway. They're both wonderful films.:)

Other great films from the 60s:

Village Of The Damned
Carnival Of Souls
Rosemary's Baby
Night Of The Living Dead
The Haunting
Two Thousand Maniacs
Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors
The House That Screamed
The Bird With The Crystal Plumage

I'm a little embarrassed to say I've never seen Carnival of Souls. I've gotta order it tonight.

Also, is it just me, or does Bird with the Crystal Plummage seem like a much more recent movie than the rest? I think it was way ahead of it's time. Having said that, the recent Mother of Tears was poor. I haven't seen Giallo but I'm hoping it's a return to form.

I'm a huge Dario Argento fan, but I didn't like Mother Of Tears either. One of Giallo's writers is a member of this forum.

I too go with the Hammer movies Brides of Dracula and The Plague of the zombies. IMO, any Hammer movie is worth watching. Even if the story sucks you can be sure you'll get a nice set and costumes. As for those two movies, I really like both of them.

The plague is a nice change from all the Hammer vampire movies, yet it still has all the elements. The scenes around the cemetery are especially worth it. The acting is distinguished and up to par - just like you would expect from a good Hammer movie.

As for Brides, its definitely not the best among the hammer vampire stuff. I also dont like the leading actress too much (russian?). But it still has some interesting elements in there, like the bizarre mother and the chained son. Yep, by all means, check em out. :)

The Kiss of the Vampire (1963) was a good Hammer vampire movie, but less well known than the Dracula series.

Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) was another good vampire movie of the 60's.

I only ones here I haven't seen were Two Thousand Maniacs ,The Bird With The Crystal Plumage and The House That Screamed.

Since your avatar character is from The House That Screamed, I think I will look into that today at amazon.com to see if it's available and the price.

Watched Village of the Damned and Rosemary's Baby recently. Also watched the more recent Village Of The Damned with Kirstie Alley too.

Been awhile since I have watched my Carnival Of Souls. Sounds like a good one for tonight.

These are both good vampire films.

I got The Kiss Of The Vampire in the Hammer Horrors collection that's available on DVD.

I enjoyed The Fearless Vampire Killers as well though I have that on an individual DVD.

Not as well known as Lugosi's Dracula but still very good films.
