      For Ghost movies, my favorite is Lady in White (which I already listed). I did like The Haunting, but I haven't seen the others (and now I'm going to have to find and watch them)

        Do you mean The Lady in Black? Because that is indeed one frightening movie.

          There are some bad movies in this thread.

            I suspect you mean Woman in Black which is also a good ghost story (although I found parts of it unfulfilling - IMO, it felt like it could do with another half hour to give more depth), but no, I mean, Lady in White

                It's all a matter of taste. (Unless I missed someone mentioning Plan 9 from Outer Space. )

                    Braveheart is my favorite movie ever, very much worth watching it if you haven't yet.

                      I can't believe somebody mentioned Electra Glide in Blue. I thought that was such a cool movie.

                      Some that may have been missed:

                      King of Comedy: De Niro tour de force
                      AfterHours: comedy of coincidences
                      Mean Streets: You pay for your sins in the streets

                      The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover: indescribable
                      Drowning by Numbers: numbers, games, drownings
                      A Zed and Two Noughts: ashes to ashes, ooze to ooze
                      The Draughtman's Contract: more to a picture, than meets the eye

                      Psycho: this one started them all
                      Frenzy: neckties, rape and potatoes
                      Spellbound: Dali designed dreams and Freud
                      The Trouble with Harry: Harry won't stay buried

                      The Conversation: is anyone listening?

                      Suspiria: stylish grand guignol
                      The Bird with the Crystal Plumage: stylish whodunnit

                      The Fisher King: Is it better to be mad?

                      They Might be Giants: George C. Scott thinks he's Sherlock Holmes
                      Patton: George C. Scott as Patton, nuff said.
                      Hardcore: George C. Scott again. Quirky, unintentionally funny, odd.

                      Tough Guys Don't Dance: Norman Mailer makes hilarious satirical debut

                      Liquid Sky: orgasm and drug eating alien lives on punk fashion model's rooftop in NYC. A low budget gem.

                      Does anybody really read these things?

                        I do, for one, though I am a film student, so I'm not typical
                        In fact, I intend to save this whole thread for later perusal and possible rental, my uni has a fairly decent video library which I am using to the full

                          Yes, that was me. I found an ex-rental video copy in a Melbourne music/video shop- along with After Dark, My Sweet, The Amazing Mr Blunden, Trouble in Mind, and Assault on Precinct 13. I think one of my favourite periods for films was the 1970s American cinema- as Rufus Firefly said in an earlier thread, it was the decade when Hollywood was still producing films for adults, rather than for those afflicted with arrested development.

                          Blue Collar deserves a mention, as does Altman's Quintet, Belly of An Architect, Sunday Too Far Away, Death in a French Garden, Colonel Redl, Mephisto, The Hit, Heatwave, City of Hope, Passion Fish, Welles's Othello, Wise Blood and Race With The Devil.

                            That's the one.

                            ACK!

                              I thought the dubbing of CoLC was actually quite good, far superior to most dubbings. They actually got good actors to read the lines. It stands with the dubbing of Das Boot as one of the best dubbed flicks I've seen.

                              But I prefer subtitles, anyway.

                              Edan, right-o. I'd seen the Woman in Black on TV many years ago, and I can't forget it, especially the last scene. Frightening movie, on a par with The Ring in terms of terrifying atmosphere. I've never heard of the Lady in White...will have to look for it.

                                Good performane by Tim Curry in that movie. Not as good as his performance in Rocky Horror, but then again nothing is.
