This whole thing has lost a lot of steam!

Well I really see The Shining as more of a prestige literary adaptation than a horror movie.

Voted NOTLD. Again.

Voted NOTLD. Again.

Seriously. I've got to change my vote now because the last thing I would have thought was that the Shining would go 2nd.

NotLD
Exorcist
Halloween

That's how I'd have it.


And V, thanks for these polls they're fun. So don't take my personal criticism of the votes/voters with the guy who is doing the hard work. We all have our lists. Deliverence is my one for example...so anyway thanks mang.

I didn't think it through yet, but I'm pretty happy with The Shining at #2. It's probably top-2 for me, if not first overall.

No worry. I am conscious my tastes have nothing to do with the consensus and never expected these polls to go my way - I was more than often alone with my picks on the decades polls (where a lot of the picks were disappointing to me, but this top-3 of all time makes a lot of sense to me as of now, even if I wouldn't have Alien in my personal top-10).

My post from the movie thread:

Green Inferno. It kind of tries, but Cannibal Holocaust it is not. 3/10

Duuuuuuude cone on What is scary is realistic.

Cannibal Holocaust has a very troubling relation to reality, Green Inferno is a pastiche of a past genre that didn't really need revival - its referent isn't the real, it's a set of (mostly italian) films.

Really? I only ask because

John Carpenters The Thing should be the hands down dinner from this list.
