The second one is far worse. Don't know about the others, I'm sure they're just as shit though.

Recommend me a horror/thriller, Ole.
What sort? I enjoy the Italian Giallos. One of my favorites is Seven Blood Stained Orchids. I'm not the biggest of horror fans it has to be said.
Psychological thriller, perhaps?
I'll have to have a think about that.
Marnie was great....have you seen Secret Window?
This thread has been going since 2006!
Still waiting, cockbreath,
I've not seen either of them. What are they about?
secret window's not that marvellous i don't think
you can see the denouement coming a mile away

Is that the one with Guttenberg in it?
Marnie...Tippi Hedren (gorgeous then) and Sean Connery 1964

Secret Window...2004 Johnny Depp movie...can't go wrong with him...but still it will depend on the individual.

yeah seen that years ago.....very good...though my fav Hitchcock movies are ones with the beautiful women like Grace Kelly and Hedren...real easy on the eyes and of course his story lines are not to be sneezed at either.
no...thanks for the tip...will check it out at my local library....
yes i remember that
it was an excellent film
I'll watch it then.
hope you enjoy it
Haven't seen that for a good few years, but a good little chiller, Spoons...I think you'll enjoy it.
If you want a good horror, perhaps in the traditional sense, then I recommend the original 1963 version of The Haunting, if you haven't seen it already. Showed a sequence from this a few weeks ago, when lecturing about the use of sound, and it went down well with the students.
good to see ya Hammer Michael....Haunting eh? will check it out...
can you recommend the best horror movies in your opinion?
now I will say I hate the cut em up movies like Saw and such.....was thinking more like the Exorcist type if that makes any sense to you....

Hi RD!
Thing is with Horror (and Comedy, thinking about it) is that is perhaps the most subjective of genres. What scares one person leaves someone else unaffected. I really rated [REC], a recent Spanish horror, but a few well-viewed members on the forum went the opposite way and hated it.
But, off the top of my head, the following are amongst my favourites for a variety of reasons:
Night of the Living Dead
Halloween
The Haunting
Ju-on (orginal Japanese Grudge)
Dead of Night (1946 British horror)
Scream
Cat People
The Exorcist
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
Les Diaboliques (1955 French horror, influential on Hitchcock)
When I think of some more (rather than the cigarettes I'm trying to give up at the moment) I'll let you know!
thanks HH...super list..will check them out .....I of course loved the Exorcist....the Omen (the original of course) and the Alien....
btw nice job against the chavs.....

Some movies have watched recently that my 19 year old sister-in-law gets on pirate DVD; How to Lose Friends & Alienate People - quite amusing and funny in parts which Simon Pegg does very well at doing;
Babylon AD - has Vin Diesel in it looking old and has a croaky deep voice and I have no idea what the feck it was about apart from it was shite;
Max Payne - as above with Mark Wahlberg and he hasn't got a deep voice, a bag of wank;

Born on the Fourth of July - 9.5/10
Saw it again on Blu Ray, fantastic performance by Tom Cruise, arguably his finest. Amazing score as well, some of the scenes made me emotional. Shame he lost out on the Oscar to Daniel Day-Lewis who also put in the best performance of his life that year.

I rate Depp occasionally but Secret Window was poor.
Really? Hitchcock is ace, but I much prefer Rear Window, Vertigo and maybe Rope as well.
I seldomly watch thrillers but I suppose A Tale of Two Sisters must be one of the best I've seen. (And maybe one of the latest, which perhaps says something about how frequently I seek this genre.)
They're all good(I've not seen Cat People), but Ju-On was awful. The remake was even worse.
I've seen The Haunting.
A Tale of Two Sisters is great. My fav psychological thriller is probably Rosemary's Baby. As for Hitchock, I liked the ones you've mentioned. As I said Dial M's my fav, but Rebecca and The 39 Steps aren't far behind.
some horrors/chillers/thrillers that I loved.
Rosemary's Baby
Jacob's Ladder
The Tenant
Blue Velvet
Lost Highway
Tale of Two Sisters
Seconds
The Manchurian Candidate (original)
Has anyone seen The Wrestler? It's got great reviews.
In The Name Of The Father 8.5/10
Excellant film, with brilliant performance from Day-Lewis & Postlethwaite, really gets the emotions stirring.

never heard of Tale of Two Sisters...several mentions here...gotta get that...thanks fellas!
I'd try Old Boy, it fits somewhere in those categories, also Croupier, and then Single White Female, Misery, Leon, Taxi Driver, Hand That Rocks The Cradle and Bound.
Agreed on the acting part and well-paced. Woefully inaccurate with reference to events, though.
Oldboy was good. Audition is probably more in theme though. Great film. As good as anything you'll see in that genre.
North By Northwest. Looking at it now, it might seem a bit cheesy, but it's still a very good film. Cary Grant has to be one of the coolest actors of all time.
