Tales From The ILX Top 100 Horror Movies Poll Discussion/Nominations Thread

Loved 1958 version. Never saw the Cronenberg version. I should rectify that.

re: Lynch - Though none of these are 'genre films' obv, I think Eraserhead, Lost Highway, and Inland Empire are all quite frightening (in spots at least) & have more than enough elements of the macabre to qualify them for inclusion in this.

yes, you should!

xp

cronenberg fly was one of the first "adult" horror movies i saw as a grade schooler (along with shining, halloween, tcm, r's baby, etc) and it's probably not gonna make my list but probably should for the effect it had on me.

actually I think cronenberg will be the cohen bros of the horror poll

I am ok w/ this

I don't really get the problem with Eraserhead on this poll. I mean, it's not genre-horror in any slavish sense, but it's TERRIFYING. I'd definitely class it as some kind of surreal psychological horror.

cosign. i think lynch (and cronenberg) should "loom somewhat inappropriately over the results the way the Coens did over the comedy poll." between lost highway, mulholland dr. and inland empire, i'd say that lynch become a straight-up horror filmmaker, if an unconventional one. certainly the most gifted maker of terrifying cinema currently working in america.

hey Lynch should definitely be in the list with at least a couple movies, no doubt. but if he has like 6 movies in the top 100, including some that are barely horror (Coens/comedy style), it'll be goofy, is all i'm saying.

I love lynch but there's no way that he deserves more than 1 film in a horror countdown

And that film should be The Elephant Man.

Watched Eaten Alive, which I did not like at all, despite it being right in my wheelhouse.

I totally get why many/most people don't like this movie (and I'm not an aficionado of much of this stuff, so grain of salt here) but Eaten Alive is one of the few horror movies I own. Seeing it last on the bill at a smalltown drive-in in '78 sort of defined the whole grindhouse aesthetic for me.

here's every film that received a vote in darin's multiple maniacs horror film polls by year

I guess if someone bother to vote for one of these they should be on the noms list but I haven't cross-referenced them against eric's noms list, I'm assuming there's a lot of duplication

I love lynch but there's no way that he deserves more than 1 film in a horror countdown

from the other side of this fence, if there aren't 3 or 4 lynch films in the top 100, i'll consider the poll a sham

including a lot of those one-vote titles seems silly.

you would deny ppl the right to vote for the rape of the vampire??

or the night flier lol

CARNOSAUR

not saying that they universally shouldn't be included. i mean, onibaba, what ever happened to baby jane and blood feast are among the one-vote-getters. just somewhat dubious about dumping them ALL onto the spreadsheet. not that it matters, i guess...

prolly best to just let ppl rep for noms from that list if they see something they want to vote for that was overlooked

They Don't Cut the Grass Anymore is all-time imo

already the system works

I nominate Grizzly Park. As much as I want to nominate Grizzly Rage and Bear, they just aren't top tier bear movies.

I'll nominate Matka Joanna od Aniołów / Mother Joan Of The Angels.

Sorry all, I'm ill today and won't be updating the spreadsheet until tomorrow. I'll make a note of which of those hundreds of titles makes the most sense to include. (Might make the cut-off 2 or 3 votes instead of every vote-getter.)

Bedlam (1946) w/ Karloff, co-written by Lewton

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038343/

unfortunately I think darin stopped the polls at 1960, would like to see more pre-1960 films in the nom list tbh

Vargtimmen now struck off my 'must watch before the poll ends' list. Oh my fucking god, that film is amazing. I'm going to try to keep the only recently viewed films lower than they might be after full digestion time, but I dunno, man, these last two have really impressed me.

^ known to me as bergman's hour of the wolf. will be in my top 10.

yeah hour of the wolf is quality stuff but I've had a couple horror fans recoil in horror after I've recommended it

^ they prob would have liked it then?

Why did they recoil?

It's is on my pre-voting short list, too.

too arty kills the thrills

^ do not believe in this as a concept. idea that troo-cult genre horror has to be protected from the "arty" likes of lynch and bergman is stinky poop, imo.

I agree, that's why I recommend it to ppl

ppl whose venn diagram of taste already includes bergman and carpenter prolly the sweet spot of hour of the wolf fandom

B-b-but the arty side *provides* the creepy factor. Gore is great, but it's not the only thing to look for.

see I don't think of carpenter as a particularly gory director, he's great at suspense tho

by arty stuff i mean long, direct-to-the-camera monologues, personally I don't find that v creepy but it doesn't take me out of the movie either

A couple more nominations if it's not too late :

Faust (1994, the Jan Svankmajer version)
The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me Your Teeth Are In My Neck

Ah, thanks. I forgot to check if Fearless Vampire Killers had been nominated.

List updated, there are now 657 titles.

I did not include the 1-vote getters from above, so if you want any of them in there, you'll have to explicitly nominate them itt.

wait, Friday the 13th Part II is the only entry from that series nominated?

One too many?

If any of the other F13s were nominated, it slipped by me. (Can't remember whether it's the 4th or 5th that gets the most love from fans.)

I will say that, aside from the one where Jason's tongue runs around town possessing people, I've seen more of II than any other F13

I'll nominate La Chiesa / The Church (Michele Soavi, 1989). So much better than most of the late-80s, non-Argento, Italian horror efforts (Demons, etc).

yep, already in there (alphabetized according to english title)

may i make a nomination? since you guys have last house on the left on the poll and you are broad-minded to include ingmar bergman films here (i see hour of the wolf is a nomination), how about the virgin spring (the ingmar bergman film on which last house on the left was based)?

Oof, I've just run through the list so far and got my shortlist to 115. Not *too* bad, there are still a few on there that I won't lose sleep in cutting, but I think the final cuts are going to be horrible.
