This place needs more Dawn of the Dead rants. It really is an amazing movie. I first saw it about a dozen years ago, and I was glued to the screen. Holy shit, this movie was bad-ass... especially the swat guys! You'd probably think there would be racial tension between Peter and Flyboy as seen in NotLD, but NOPE! These characters really are pretty great, aren't they? That's why when the shit hits the fan^{helicopter blades}, it hits you hard. In my top-10 movies ever, for sure.

Fuck the remake.

it's on my short list of Perfect Tens.

Black Swan (2010) which is also my favorite film of al time. The great atmosphere, the cinematography, the writing, the editing, the film style, the story, the ending, best dance scenes of all time, my two actresses did lesbian scene which it's one of my favorites movie scenes. Brilliant performances by Portman, Hershey and Kunis. It's just perfect film to me!

If someone don't count it as a horror film, I only consider it a psychological horror which means it's also a horror film. Because the story is f-cking creepy and dark!

The Return of the Living Dead. It's probably nostalgia more than anything else at this point, but if I was to defend its other qualities -

Fast-paced. Awesome looking zombies. Fun characters. Snappy, memorable dialogue. Great fucked up ending. Amazing soundtrack. Perfect balance of horror and humor.

Really, as many times as I've seen it, it never lets me down.

Dead & Buried

I was in a weird phase in my horror move watching when I first saw this. It was 04, I was living on my own and I would go to blockbuster and rent horror for the weekend and stay home and binge. I felt then that I had seen everything and the genre was at a stale point. So my FTV of D & B was very refreshing, I was immediately sucked in after the burning man "jump scare" which freaked the shit out of me. The gore, score, location atmosphere was on point. After this, I was really into atmospheric horror (Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Martin, Horror Hotel, Messiah of Evil etc)

I adopted it as my IMDB moniker only a few years ago after I got locked out of my original IMDB name and that carried over here.

Edit: Actually not Suspiria but Creepshow. Not sure how I could forget about it. I Love anthologies and although I also like all the classics like Tales from the Crypt etc. Creepshow is easily my fav.

An American Werewolf in London is my favorite film of any genre. it's funny, scary, and romantic. it has charming characters and killer special effects that many wolf pictures still fail to live up to 30+ years later. the ending is a wonderful gut punch.
