20 Best Horror Flicks

15) When a Stranger Calls


Director: Fred Walton
Actors: Carol Kane, Charles Durning, Rutanya Alda,
Colleen Dewhurst, Michael Champion, Ron O'Neal
Year: 1979

Although the remake was quite intense, the original
has a better story and a better leading actress.

11) Halloween/Halloween


Director: John Carpenter/Rob Zombie
Actors (original): Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence,
Nancy Kyes, PJ Soles, Charles Cyphers,
Tony Moran, Brian Andrews, Kyle Richards
Actors (remake): Scout Taylor-Compton, Malcolm McDowell,
Tyler Mane, Daeg Faerch, Sheri Moon Zombie,
William Forsythe, Danielle Harris, Hanna Hall
Year: 1978/2007

It was so difficult to choose which version of Halloween is best. Both have something special. The original was just that... original. It offered newbie Jamie Lee Curtis and lots of terror. The remake was great because it offered a look into the childhood of the murderous Michael Myers. We finally got to understand why Myers became a cold-blooded killer. So, we chose both because together they make one of the best scary serial-killer films.

1978

8) Jaws


Director: Steven Spielberg
Actors: Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider,  Robert Shaw,
Lorainne Gray, Murray Hamilton, Chris Rebello, Jay Mello
Year: 1975

There's really only one movie responsible for invoking massive fear in all beach-goers... Jaws. Steven Spielberg brought this terrifying tale to the big screen and, honestly, it's one of the main reason I prefer the pool.

3) The Shining



Director: Stanley Kubrick
Actors: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd,
Scatman Crothers, Philip Stone, Joe Turkel
Year: 1980

By far the scariest film regarding isolation and our number three choice for best horror flick of all time. The Shining is from the warped mind of Stephen King and starring naturally scary Jack Nicholson. Make sure you don't watch it alone.





20 Best Horror Flicks

1) The Exorcist


Director: William Friedkin
Actors: Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Jason Miller, Max von Sydow,
Kitty Winn, Mercedes McCambridge, Lee J. Cobb, Jack MacGowran
Year: 1973

The all-time best horror film is the scarier-than-hell, intense, and well-written The Exorcist.

Vanessa Redgrave takes home a 1978 Best Supporting Actress award for her work in "Julia", but not before managing to cause a stir in the audience. She had been boycotted by the Jewish Defense League because of her participation in a documentary film entitled "The Palestinian"

Here's what she said in her acceptance speech:

"My dear colleagues, I thank you very much for this tribute to my work. I think that Jane Fonda and I have done the best work of our lives, and I think this is in part due to our director, Fred Zinnemann. And I also think it's in part because we believed and we believe in what we were expressing--two out of millions who gave their lives and were prepared to sacrifice everything in the fight against fascist and racist Nazi Germany. And I salute you, and I pay tribute to you, and I think you should be very proud that in the last few weeks you've stood firm, and you have refused to be intimidated by the threats of a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums whose behavior is an insult to the stature of Jews all over the world and their great and heroic record of struggle against fascism and oppression. And I salute that record and I salute all of you for having stood firm and dealt a final blow against that period when Nixon and McCarthy launched a worldwide witch-hunt against those who tried to express in their lives and their work the truth that they believe in. I salute you and I thank you and I pledge to you that I will continue to fight against anti-Semitism and fascism."

22 Best Dance Scenes


Film: SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER
Director: John Badham
Actors: John Travolta, Karen Lynn Gorney, Barry Miller,
Joseph Cali, Donna Pescow, Paul Pape, Martin Shakar
Year: 1977



This is Travolta's 3rd time on this list and it's definitely his best scene. There were a bunch of cool dance sequences in this flick, but the one that stands out is the one Travolta did solo. He proves he doesn't need a partner to light up the dance floor. Amazing!!!!
