My Favorite Movies

My favourite Disney movie. Great story, great characters and great songs.

The best cop thriller ever made.

Brilliant acting and direction, a superb score by John Williams and plenty of jump-out-of-your-seat moments.

Everything about this film is perfect - the cast, the direction, the script, the cinematography and the music.

Fritz Lang's masterpiece - even better than Metropolis! Peter Lorre's performance is amazing.

The best of all the Star Wars films - much darker and more complex than Episode IV with brilliant special effects and action set-pieces.

The directorial debut of one of Italy's masters of horror Dario Argento. A very stylish murder mystery with a fantastic music score by Ennio Morricone.

One of Hammer Studios' very best films - a highly original and inventive vampire tale.

If there has been a better western than this, I haven't seen it yet! Violent, sometimes funny, and thoroughly engrossing.

This is my favourite Alfred Hitchcock film. The climax is unforgettable.

An effective blend of science fiction and horror. The special effects still hold up well today.

James Cameron's action-packed sequel to Ridley Scott's Alien. The production design, lighting & photography are top-notch.

Sergio Martino's excellent giallo thriller containing supernatural elements. Edwige Fenech never looked more gorgeous and Bruno Nicolai's score is brilliant.

One of the best comedy horror films ever as it manages to be very funny and very scary. The scene in the Picadilly cinema where David Kessler meets his undead victims is an all-time classic and the werewolf transformation scene (featuring special make-up effects by Rick Baker) has never been bettered.

One of the most disturbing films you will ever see - if you can bear to watch. A real shocker.

Mario Bava's violent and highly influential giallo. This film set the blueprint for many slasher films of the 70s and 80s - particularly the Friday The 13th films

Hitchcock's second foray into horror (after Psycho). This film must have been terrifying back in 1963. It is still scary when viewed today.

A classic chiller starring two horror greats - Bela Lugosi & Boris Karloff. The sets are wonderful.

Deliberately camp and over-the-top in terms of its gore content. German actor Udo Kier plays an aging Count Dracula who travels from Transylvania to Italy in search of "were-gins".

Easily one of the goriest movies ever made. Peter Jackson's wicked black (or should that be red) comedy about zombies substitutes the traditional slapstick custard pies for blood and guts. You will never forget the lawnmower massacre scene!

Superior follow-up to 1931's Frankenstein containing many classic scenes.

One of the most unusual and funniest films in recent years. Bruce Campbell's performance as a geriatric Elvis Presley was worthy of an OSCAR.

The very first film adaptation of a Stephen King novel is still one of the best. The film is enhanced greatly by a terrific performance by Sissy Spacek in the title role and by a beautiful music score by Pino Donaggio.

The British title is The City Of The Dead. Starring movie legend Christopher Lee, this is a wonderfully spooky tale about witchcraft in a creepy fog-enshrouded New England village.

One of the most controversial films in British cinema history - it was banned in Britain (by the director Stanley Kubrick, not the censors) for almost 30 years. For those who can stomach the old ultra-violence, the film is often a visual and aural delight with many scenes that are still shocking and relevant even today.

Classic Hammer Horror that helped establish Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee as household names as well as establishing the Hammer style. Flawlessly directed by Terence Fisher with excellent sets and great colour photography. Some scenes are still pretty gruesome and shocking today, more than 50 years after the film was made.

George A. Romero's cracking sequel to Night Of The Living Dead is probably the 'Citizen Kane' of zombie movies. The 2004 remake is pretty good but this version is the original and best.

The daddy of all horror anthology movies with a superb cast. More than 60 years on this film can still send a few shivers down your spine.

This film is guaranteed to unnerve you and haunt you for ages after you've seen it. A truly stunning piece of film making.

Quite possibly the greatest ever film version of Bram Stoker's classic story. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing created the definitive Dracula and Van Helsing for many horror film fans.

A slam bang no-holds-barred horror movie. The special effects may seem a little crude by today's standards but this is a very effective piece of film making with some dazzling and inventive camera work.

One of the all-time classic chillers. A young girl becomes possessed by an ancient demon and two priests, one old and one young, are called in to perform the exorcism ritual and save her soul. Ground-breaking special effects and the use of extremely profane language help create a shocking and disturbing movie.

Roman Polanski's brilliant tribute to/spoof of vampire movies which manages to combine horror and humour to great effect. Alfie Bass steals the show as a Jewish vampire who is totally unfazed by the symbol of the crucifix!

David Cronenberg's visceral remake of the 1958 Vincent Price classic. The first-rate special effects are guaranteed to make you squirm!

One of the most famous horror films of them all, based on Mary Wolstencroft Shelley's gothic tale. Boris Karloff is unforgettable as Baron Frankenstein's tragic creation.

Banned in Britain for over 30 years, Tod (Dracula) Browning's 1932 film is a very unusual and disturbing piece of cinema. The ending will haunt you for a long time afterwards.

A fantastic (or fang-tastic, if you prefer) modern vampire tale containing strong doses of horror and comedy. One of the best vampire movies ever made.

One of Amicus Studios' best horror anthology movies with a star-studded cast including horror stalwarts Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasence.

This low-budget but extremely effective horror film is still one of the best of the so-called slasher movies. I have not seen Rob Zombie's remake yet - I am not sure if I want to.

The sequel to The Silence Of The Lambs is equal to the original film with Anthony Hopkins on top form once again. Grand Guignol horror of the highest quality.

Written and directed by Clive Barker - based on his story The Hellbound Heart, this horror movie is definitely not for the squeamish!

This is actually a sort of remake of the 1930s film The Mystery Of The Wax Museum. Vincent Price is in superb form as a wax sculptor who is horribly disfigured in a fire and then becomes an insane murderer. I have no desire to see the more recent remake which has Paris Hilton in it!

A great collection of creepy tales all revolving around an old spooky house. The last story called The Cloak, starring Jon Pertwee and Ingrid Pitt, is the best of the lot.

A superior werewolf movie directed by Joe Dante with doses of fang-in-cheek humour. The werewolf transformations are almost as good as the one in An American Werewolf In London. To date, this film has inspired 6 sequels most of which are rubbish!

Arguably the greatest monster movie of them all. This film is not just about the brilliant stop-motion effects though - there is a good story and there are characters that you believe in and care about.

This haunting film, based on Japanese ghost stories, is one of the most visually stunning films you will ever see.

Wes Craven's violent remake of sorts of Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring. I do not recall any chainsaw retribution in Bergman's movie!

A classic French thriller with lots of unexpected twists and turns in th
