I vote for Carrie, as a movie I think it it is better, though if it was based on the novels I would vote differently.

Fight Club.

Rayne, you've got to escape the box. Don't get me worng- I love horror. But I'd say that if I were to name the greatest movies I've ever seen, 1-2% would be horror.

The fact is, it's a miniscule genre among a welath of fantastic movies.

---------------

Some movies just aren't for everyone's taste, Return. I've been baffled for a long while as to why you reject Jaws and The Exorcist. :o (Both of which I consider to be far superior to Cronenberg's The Fly).

as for me - not that anyone asked or cares - i thought fight club was overrated. it, like american beauty, were touted as super-smart, slick, complex critiques of american culture but in the end, for me, both failed to live up to their promise and fell into some fairly predictable cliches.

i think for me that's more true of american beauty - which i absolutely loathed - and probably some of that loathing splashed on to fight club - but i think both are instance of mainstream commercial holliywood 'playing' indie without really being brave enough to have indie sensibilities

but i'm just a monkey so what do i know

Sounds a lot like the way I feel about American Beauty but I did enjoy Fight Club personally. That said, my vote goes to Carrie without a second of hesitation.

I'm starting to appreciate The Exorcist...gave it another shot a few months back and enjoyed it more than I had.

Still haven't given Jaws another chance...I get paid in a couple days, might need to pick it up.
