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.

If the picture of a drunk, dirty Santa doesn't make you want to see this hilarious film, I'm not sure what will. Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd are perfectly cast as a two very different guys who join forces to fight against a pair of corrupt Wall Street brothers.
