Damn! I've seen just under half of these films. Guess I'm going to have to bone up on my cinema. Great list, though. Covers the gamut of genres and generations. May have to try this myself sometime, although I'm sure a number of my inclusions will be mocked mercilessly. But damn the haters, I love me some Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Into the Wild and Watchmen.

Great list... interesting to see "Let's Scare Jessica to Death"... not one that many people know about.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff.

Kev- Thanks! I'd never heard "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" before, till I read a review on Bleeding Skull a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteJ/Metro- Thanks! All three films of the films you mentioned where in the running to be on my list.
Great list! Can't believe I left PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE off my top 50. Have to remedy that the next time I redo my list!
