|---|---|---|
| 1 |
The Exorcist III 1990, R)
Technically superior, intelligently written, directed and performed. Sadly overlooked for best sound editing. Stirring performances from Scott, Dourif, and Miller |
|
| 2 |
The Specials 2000, R)
What Superhero comedies should be. James Gunn's writing is smart, funny and irreverant. |
|
| 3 |
American Psycho 2000, R)
As layered as the book. Never has an actor so embodied a part as Bale did here. |
|
| 4 |
Memento 2000, R)
Reinvented non-linear storytelling. The best of its kind. |
|
| 5 |
Stir of Echoes 1999, R)
Matheson, Koppe, and Bacon equals gripping , moving horror. |
|
| 6 |
Superman 1978, PG)
Still stands as one of the best comic adaptations. If not for Kidder's 'song it'd be perfect. Well, that and the whole turning back time thing, but hey... |
|
| 7 |
V for Vendetta 2006, R)
So commanding is Weaving's voice, we never need to see his face. |
|
| 8 |
This Is Spinal Tap 1984, R)
Brought the mockumentary to its pinnacle. Sheer genius. Hysterical. |
|
| 9 |
Murder by Death 1976, PG)
They simply don't write comedies this witty any more. Line for line, the best of its kind. |
|
| 10 |
Young Frankenstein 1974, PG)
Brooks at his best. What all parodies should strive for. And the reproduction of Whales' shooting style, brilliant. |
|
| 11 |
Identity 2003, R)
|
|

|
| 15 |
Saw II 2005, R)
A strong sequel to a magnificent concept. |
|
| 16 |
Prince of Darkness 1987, R)
Succeeds at being both a smart exploration of science and theology and a damn scary zombie(ish) film. |
|
| 17 |
The Thing 1982, R)
For sheer tone there's nothing like it. Carpenter at his very best. |

Spider-Man 2 2004, PG-13)
Visually stunning and a strong sequel, but BADLY in need of a dialogue polish. |
|
| 30 |

Free Enterprise 1998, R)
Not a perfect homage to pop culture addicts, but more allusions than you can shake an All-Mighty Isis action figure at. |
|
| 35 |
Zorro, the Gay Blade 1981, PG)
George Hamilton, as gay and straight twin Zorros. ....Nope, that's really all I need to say. |
