Forgot about this one. Second scariest movie of all time for me.
Your first is The Exorcist? Very scary. I recently walked up that flight of stairs in DC.
Yep, Exorcist is the first. I watched as a kid by myself back in ‘76 and it left me all ■■■■■■ up for a few months.

The Mask
Liar Liar
Mrs. Doubtfire
Sleepy Hollow
The Green Mile, both the serial novels and the film
Unlawful Entry (still nutty about Ray Liotta)
Dances with Wolves—loved it, but, like The Green Mile, won’t watch it again as it’s quite sad
Dracula with Frank Langella as the Count
The Changeling with George C. Scott
John Carpenter’s The Fog
the first two Halloween movies
Least Favorites:
Blue Velvet—overrated
Black Widow—so predictable
The Changeling—Director Eastwood lied by omission in excluding the character of Gordon Northcott’s mother, his accomplice who served life while he hung

I was intoxicated when seeing Ghost and still knew the killer’s identity long before the end; overrated film.
Another sleeper, as in I’ve got to sleep, was Sideways with Paul Giamatti.

My scariest movie of all time was the original Phantasm, I was 13/14 when it came out in the 70’s. Scared the hell out of me.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Was just discussing it at work…The best scene ever in a movie…I gotta go with the Pub Scene in “Inglorious Bastards”.

Two of my favorite romantic comedies are “Crossing Delancy” and “As Good As It Gets” - the latter has some of the best dialogue.
I love most of Hitchcock, and really enjoy “Stage Fright”, though, apparently, most dislike it even Hitchcock himself.
Crime dramas: “Miller’s Crossing” and “L A Confidential” are two of my favorites.
Period pieces: Not a film, a miniseries, but the '95 version of “Pride and Prejudice” was excellent. “Life is Beautiful”, “Impromptu”.
Dramadies: “The Perez Family”
Least favorite - Most political agenda-driven films. Most R rated comedies (except The Full Monty, if that’s R rated - I thought it was a hoot.)
Halloween 3 sucked, no doubt.
