No worries. I think for all practical purposes, it's two separate movies, and most people will watch them (and evaluate them) separately, but good point that Tarantino and Rodriguez intended them to be watched in as a single, complete experience, simulating a double feature. Plus it has all those awesome fake trailers. And yeah, anything to get more movies in the finals. :) There are a lot of good ones.

My top 20 for the 90s is in. As dismal as I thought it would be, there actually were a lot a excellent movies in the 90s, although many are not straight up horror. Lots of dark crime thrillers, with some crossing over into horror enough to be make sense in the rankings. Also, quite a few horror comedies.
Here's my next 20, like I posted for the 80s. I think rankings 21-40 is a good indicator of the decade's quality and depth. Compared to my 80s "next 20," I think its a minor step down. Rankings 41-60, however, is a much bigger dropoff compared to the 80s.
