I actually watched this movie two days ago with a friend and obviously we couldn't stop talking about it.<br /><br />Psycho also deserves to be up there, and Jaws which I've actually seen for the first time rather recently really is one of the most well made movies I've ever seen.

I watched it in HD on my cable box (something that I've heard can fix overly dark films ie. standard definition vs. high definition) but yeah, the film was annoyingly dark. Not so much that it ruined anything though (say like Alien v Predator Requiem). Though to be fair its overall shittiness already ruined it. <br /><br />It's a sad day for the film, and franchise in general, when I can safely say it was a terrible film and still one of the best in the series.gordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955994070918697381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-76678198437404682372009-07-08T14:44:01.037-04:002009-07-08T14:44:01.037-04:00Hey B,

(I also Love, Love, Love DOTD). But like I have said before, what qualifies as well made Art, Film or Music is all in the individual. The problem with the Academy or Ebert and Roper or Rotten Tomatoes is that just because 9 out of 10 people hate it doesn't mean it's bad, ask 10 more people or 20 or 60 more people and you'll probably get the same amount of yea's as you will nay's.<br /><br />I take reviews with a grain of salt, If enough people give the thumbs up I'll most likely check it out ( your seemingly never ending love for Let the right ones in drove me to see that film, I was great)<br /><br /> In the end, If a film gives me what I expect it to, and if I'm lucky, a little more, then I'm happy with my time spent.<br /><br />on a side note, everyone can try this at home, have you seen the new Friday the 13th? no, ok,....... close your eyes.......are they closed, now SCREAM!!!!!!.............. that's the film!<br />Why in the hell is that movie so God Damn dark? you next topic should be "movie budget cuts, don't' start with the DLP"<br /><br />Later days B,<br /><br />Christopher Zenga<br />thedayafterart.blogspot.comChristopher Zengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621627648001812605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-28771172905320204692009-07-08T14:36:55.190-04:002009-07-08T14:36:55.190-04:00Interesting list.

I find Duvall just awful, Nicholson is playing crazy from the first minute, and the movie doesn´t do much with the themes of the novel. I was truly disappointed when I watched it for the first time in the cinema back then, and I still hate it. :-) Ah, well, I guess I am not a Kubrick fan. For every of his movies I liked there is one which should never have been greenlit IMHO :-))AndyDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806906746754478064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-75254355057420593712009-07-08T14:13:56.280-04:002009-07-08T14:13:56.280-04:00Great List!

I of course, abhor any such list that omits Carpenter's The Thing [<8^P], but like you said, it's about great films.<br /><br />While I can understand your reticence to include Silence of the Lambs as horror [more crime fiction and/or suspense], it was very scary at points, like when Clarise investigates Ms. Moffet's garage.<br /><br />However, if Jaws isn't horror, than what is? It has the frights, the unseen menace revealed later to be a very terrible, albeit natural, monster, with it's own throbbing theme music. And remember, it ruined beach summers and night swimming for millions over decades.<br /><br />As one of the bigger Alien and Aliens fans out there [I can pretty much recite both movies, end to end], I do agree that Alien is the better film. Aliens, though, is one of the superior sequels, especially in the horror category.<br /><br />You pick of The Shining at # 1 is spot on, though. Great director, great [small] cast, fantastic setting. Creepy, haunting, the kind of movie you watch in the middle of winter with all the lights off, preferably in a country house. I will say that I would not have been disappointed with either Silence of the Lambs or The Exorcist in the top spot.RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718037136482754673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-13349113878133041932009-07-08T10:33:05.997-04:002009-07-08T10:33:05.997-04:00I have to disagree with 28 Days Later.

Logic problems with the story also prevent the film from attaining greatness.<br /><br />Was my comment snobbish enough?

Someone mentioned <i>Rosemary's Baby</i> so I'll throw in <i>The Omen</i>. I thought that was really well made and it terrified the hell out of me. Like you say though, that is the peril of limiting your list to 10. <br /><br />I am also one of those that holds <i>Frankenstein</i> (1931) in higher esteem than <i>Bride of Frankenstein</i> (1935). I thought <i>Bride of Frankenstein</i> added a some unnecessary camp to the story that took away from the movie for me.<br /><br />I don't think I have seen <i>The Haunting</i>. I will need to add it to my list.Rick Bmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07194611457194061283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-43700051925617592872009-07-08T04:13:32.737-04:002009-07-08T04:13:32.737-04:00Its nice to see other ppl agree that 28 Days Later...Its nice to see other ppl agree that 28 Days Later can hold its own amongst the classics!

However, my search is more related to figuring out how it's so beloved when I find it overwrought and tediously self-important. I love Kubrick, love him love him love him, so The Shining has always been a frustration for me. <br /><br />Still, I soldier on. My tastes change as I grow older and new insights come to me. For instance, can you believe that at one point in my life, I actually thought The Exorcist was good horror?<br /><br />(I also do not care for The Haunting.
