Cary T
Fright Night-- Good
The Amityville Horror-- scared the hell out of me when I first saw it.
Halloween II-- Underrated sequel. Second best in the series.
Silent Night, Deadly Night-- Good
Cannibal Holocaust--even. Didn't really care for
Nightbreed-- Not Barker's best, but good nonetheless. I really want to see the Director's Cut! C'mon Warner
The Vanishing (remake)-- Good
Scanners-- My third favorite Cronenberg movie
Wait Until Dark--Think I've seen it, but don't recall.
Identity-- Good
Children of the Corn-- Guilty pleasure
Dead Ringers-- Good


vs.


Ric Bagoly
Shocker-- It's no NOES, but I still liked it.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2-- Pales in comparison to original, but still enjoyable
Demon Knight-- Good, entertaining flick
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors-- Tied with part 1 as my favorite in the series.
Bad Dreams-- Guilty pleasure
Warlock--even
Anguish--haven't seen
Silent Rage-- My favorite Chuck Norris movie! Underrated
Phantasm II-- An 80's favorite! One of my most wanted on DVD.
The People Under the Stairs--even
Blade-- Excellent
Edge of Sanity--haven't seen


Both lists are great , but I like some of Ric's choices a little bit more

 

[SteveGon]

Cary - Mostly for the Cronenberg flicks.

 

[Justin_S]

= Good film.
= An absolute favorite of mine!
= Bad film.
= A film that I hate with a passion.



Cary T
Fright Night- One of my top five favorite vampire films!
The Amityville Horror- Good and creepy.
Halloween II- An utter bore.
Silent Night, Deadly Night- Not really to my liking.
Cannibal Holocaust- An utter masterpiece! Disturbing as hell and quite thought provoking.
Nightbreed- Good film, but LOI is Barker's best.
The Vanishing- A true classic with one of the best endings in any film!
Scanners- Any Cronenberg film is a masterful film!
Wait Until Dark- Good chiller.
Identity- Mysterious little gem.
Children of the Corn- Okay at best.
Dead Ringers- Again, any Cronenberg film is a masterful film!


vs.


Ric Bagoly
Shocker- Not one of Craven's elite three, but it's fun.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2- Good sequel.
Demon Knight- Very fun demonic romp!
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors- The best Nightmare film.
Bad Dreams- Underrated.
Warlock- Haven't seen.
Anguish- Odd little flick.
Silent Rage- Haven't seen.
Phantasm II- Great sequel and better than the first.
The People Under the Stairs- Definitely below average.
Blade- One of my top five favorite vampire films.
Edge of Sanity- Uninvolving and boring.


Cary T takes this one rather easily.

The Abominable Dr.Phibes- Cool Price vehicle.
Candyman- A classic, and one of the best films of the 90s!
The Kingdom- Didn't care for it.
Dead and Buried- An utterly brilliant little masterpiece, and the second best zombie film of all time!

Cat People (1982)- Very cool remake, but not quite a favorite.
Body Parts- Pretty good, though the killer was disappointing.
Full Circle- Never seen.
Basket Case- it's okay.
Funny Games- Disturbing.
The Curse of the Werewolf- Okay film.
Deathdream- Underrated classic!

The Frighteners- Outstanding film with several great actors.
Tremors- Fun 50s monster film throwback.
The Birds- My favorite Hitchcock masterpiece!
The Hidden- This may grow on me.
The Bride of Frankenstein- Laughable and hugely overrated tripe!
Scream- A piece of shit in my eyes, and one of Craven's worst.
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?- Uninteresting.
The Gift- One of Raimi's best!
Vampires Kiss- Awful. Not my kind of film I suppose.
House on Haunted Hill (1958)- Very fun Castle gem!
Pet Sematary- One of the best King adaptations!
The Granny- Thought it was stupid.

Bill takes this one.
