1) i think it's impossible to make a list this size.
i'll always be able to list my favorite all time horror, followed by 4 or 5 other favorites but I'm not about to sit down and itemize/prioritize a list of 100 anything.
2) re the genre question. I think that if there are any elements of the supernatural - it falls under the loose category of horror.
If it is crazed animals terrorizing people.. it falls under horror.
if it concerns a crazy slasher - it falls under horror.
If it is not so much horror but is filmed in the suspenseful style of a horror film, it will be classified as horror.
people who compile books on horror in film have an even broader range of acceptance than i described.
thats the same way i think about it as well.
i think by now people who have spent any time on the forum where actual movies are discussed - they'd realize by now that although this is Horror.com, it encompases and welcomes all forms of exploitation film, not just horror alone.
I'm sure if you asked 10,000 people what is or is not pure horror - especially in film .. you'd get 10,000 different answers.
