  1. This is a pretty good list, even though you're lacking a horror category. I know you're not big on the gore but surely there are some you like?

    Alien and Aliens could fall under Horror...

  2. You know, I just didn't have a lot of pure horror flicks among my favorites. REC is a horror flick.

    Scream stands out as unusual.
