OMG- One of those idiots from IMDB boards. I only read the IMDB message boards when I need a reminder of how many inflated egos there are on the internet, without any intellectual acumen to back it up. Every single board on IMDB will feature these posts: 1) THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER - 2) THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER - 3) I SO DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THIS MOVIE WHAT DID THIS PART MEAN? 4)IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS MOVIE YOU ARE A COMPLETE ASS 5) IF YOU LIKE THIS MOVIE YOU ARE A COMPLETE ASS.
It's beyond laughable. Anyways....
The finest horror film of all time is Bride of Frankenstein. There is no discussion on this, it is simply much better than anything else ever made. There. I can make an unequivocal statement too.
And FYI there are many film composers working today that use orchestral scores- Philip Glass, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore and James Horner are just a few. And Glass and Horner have both scored horror films.
And I rather thought The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable were excellent movies.
I like your fave 6. All great movies. You'll find quite a few fans of bad movies here as well, so you should have a good time here as long as your skin isn't too thin. Browse around, join in, and have fun.

Lol, you gotta understand something: I have the EXACT same opinion as you about people on the IMDB boards, the only reason I'm ever on there is just to mess with people. And to occassionally see if I can find stuff out about a film - for example I didn't know Nightbreed had 25 minutes of missing footage.
Are you serious about Bride of Frankenstein? Or is that sarcasm, either way unequivocal statements are fun.
Good call on the composers. I know I wasn't remembering a lot. But, I'm sorry I hate John Horner. He composed the music for Titanic and that is a sin I will never forgive. It's unoriginal deritive wishy-washy music ripped off from various composers from the Romantic period. Howard Shore and Hans Zimmer are cool. I have a Hans Zimmer album on vinyl from the 70s. I'm quite familiar with Philip Glass, even seen him give a lecture. I love that he does use modern techniques, however I'm really really really into Steve Reich and much prefer his minimalism composing to Philip Glass (Reich does not score movies, he's just a composer).
Yea, 6th Sense was good, I liked Unbreakable too. I wasn't really thinking of those. It's just the Signs, the Village movie and The Happening were so awful and useless and just plain bad in every way (well I like some thing about the Happening but those actors need to burned at the stake).
