That's what I did, that's what repo'd did after roshiqs original reply.
I don't think it matters that each and every one be unique in the list, in fact it would probably be more interesting to see what doubles up after posting and taking a look.
But that's just me.
I get that some people might just want to be insulting and make useless posts instead though, 'cos those always add to a thread.

90% of his posts are just hostile and negative

LOL! I only see that guys posts when others quote him, because he's the only person on my ignore list. Let him do what he wants, I certainly don't care.

Not unnoticed.
Though everyone's got a right to be here,and all that.
I try to advise on how people might want to approach things differently, but how it's taken on board is up to the person in question.
I've got nothing personal against them, but I suppose I'd like to encourage them to be a bit more productive than just trying to be that "edgy" guy...at a point it becomes pretty played out.

Anyways, moving on.

Dammit, Jaws again. Still don't know how I missed that. Great to see the love for Poltergeist and The Shining. Both were movies I strongly considered.

The 15 was pretty hard to narrow down, there was at least 4-5 that were very strong contenders for those positions, but I tried to keep my list a little bit varied theme wise, well, more so than it would have been anyway.

This is always going to happen though. It's like, give me 20 spots, and I'll just want to fill 25.

Yep, making a list like this is always hard. I actually kept the number low because, as you said, it's really never enough when you are such a fan of the genre. About eight years ago I was asked by a publisher friend to compile a list of the best 100 horror movies of all time and I STILL was sick about leaving a few titles off.

Toxic Avenger?! That's a spirited choice, Jake, and I think I get your including it here. Great representation of low budget success and a very memorable monster/hero. Also, I'm a huge fan so I'm obviously biased!
Great to see another list with Phantasm on it too.
