The Giant Claw? Most interesting choice I've seen yet. A giant bird "from outer space, some godforsaken anti-matter galaxy, millions and millions for light years for Earth." Villain, I got to know, how come Giant claw?

Hmm...5 is pretty tough. How about 6 instead...

Frankenstein (1931)
The Black Cat (1934)
The Raven (1935)
Jaws (1975)
Alien (1979)
The Thing (1982)

It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I love giant monster movies and ever since i saw this one i've loved it despite it's many, many, many flaws.

The Cabin in the Woods
Halloween (1978)
The Thing (1982)
Scream (1996)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

If I could have a sixth film, I would choose Psycho (1960). Coincidentally, Marion crane mentions that she wanted to buy a private island in the film.

Great recall. A bit surprised that you'd put Scream above Psycho.

Scream is one of my favorite, if not favorite, horror movies. It was really close on all these. I could really watch these films over and over. Most, but not all, of these are also in my top ten.

LOL! Yes, for the music. I'm a huge Olivia Newton-John' music fan. Grease has Hopelessly Devoted to You, You're the one I Want, Grease, Summer Nights, & We go Together. Those are the only ones I really like. Xanadu might be a better choice. I was thinking of Across the Universe only for the Beatles music, but, decided against it because none of the songs are preformed by the Beatles.

Actually, I wasn't crazy about any of those three films, as I'm not really into film musicals, there's only a few I've really liked: Yellow Submarine, Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof. Singin in the Rain, West Side Story, Grease, Little Shop of Horrors, Jesus Christ Superstar and Xanadu I enjoyed too.

If you're going to be stuck on a deserted island, a musical is a good choice. I guess Rocky Horror and Little Shop are the only horror musicals I'm aware of; but I don't like their music enough to pick them for one of my 5.

I like your choice of Bram Stoker's Dracula. I was considering that one too. It's a long movie with a ton of fine detail (I see a bunch of new things every time I've seen it) and has a high degree of re-watchability. I think you'd get board re-watching Cabin though.

Good choices and I agree, for me, it all comes down to rewatchability... So I had to think about horror movies that I have and can continue to rewatch...

Cabin in the Woods
Evil Dead 2
The Descent
Shaun of the Dead
