FFA Top 200 Horror Movies of All Time: #127: Frailty (4 Viewers)

[Todem]

Some of you would be shocked at the quality of some of the movies sitting at 175-200 right now.

It wouldn't shock me at all. I left off so many strong horror
Films in my top 75.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

My favorite movie of all time (not just horror) is a borderline thriller/horror that I feel does belong but I'm personally leaving it and others like it off. Personally wanted this to mostly be pure horror for me, but I want others to make that choice for themselves.

My #1 is definitely Horror, and I hope to see it on many of the lists...

 

[shuke]

I've got my list whittled down to 75. After removing a number of questionable entries that are probably more along the lines of "psychological thriller", I'm not too crazy about the last 10 or so entries on my list. I looked at some lists online and realized I have some pretty big gaps in what I've seen.

I think everyone has some gaps. I am woefully underexposed to anything before the late 60s and there are some good movies there even outside of the classic monster flicks.

I remember watching a number of Vincent Price era horrors when I was younger, but I don't remember them well enough to be able to put them on my list.

 

[jamny]

My list is down to 75 and in order. Just need a day or two to feel confident with it.

Who else is submitting? I have the following that I believe confirmed are all submitting, not sure if there are others.

@Scoresman I believe I just sent my list.

 

[Scoresman]

12 lists in.

Down to just 1 movie that appears on all 12....

How is this possible???

I feel like horror tastes vary wildly. You can have one person who abhors gore and is just into the classic monster movies, or someone who gets off on torture porn. I feel like even for the usual top horror films, most have something in them that can turn someone off for one reason or another.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

12 lists in.

Any idea how many movies appear on 11 lists? I'd be interested to know if I was the outlier on one.

Plan. Sure

 

[Scoresman]

Not to spoil anything, but I've received 5 different spellings of Sematary.

This is the most laborious part of consolidating the lists. The slight differences in naming from list to list. Silence of the Lambs vs THE Silence of the Lambs

 

[Keith R]

Not surprising since the title is intentionally misspelled

 

[Scoresman]

The most movies within a single franchise stands at 8 movies across all lists so far.

12 lists in.

Honestly that is ****ing mind blowing.

This is not the Cannes film festival.

It's horror!!!!

I love it. There are so many hidden gems within horror, especially internationally. We’re going to get a lot of these highlighted as part of the top 200.

Looking forward to it!! Like I said 75 was not even enough for this horror addict!

anymore handy dandy time wasting stats, scoresman?

Bless you

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Neo-Monster 8...

intriguing

 

[Keith R]

Some of these seem to overlap, to say the least

 

[Scoresman]

Yeah, assigning a subgenre is kind of ambiguous. I know for sure we have more than 1 Crime, more than 2 Extreme, etc.

 

[WVU Alum]

I’ll guess that I have all of the comedy

 

[The Gator]

I nixed one at the last second, but could see it being in a few lists.

 

[krista4]

 

[Scoresman]

Are you submitting a list?

 

[krista4]

Are you submitting a list?

I wouldn't be a good candidate for a list, but I'm looking forward to reading and learning!

 

[Don Quixote]

I had indicated myself as a “maybe” earlier. Think I’m going to sit out and read as well. Started pulling together, but hit a wall around 40 movies in. Hope some of my favorite horror silents get recognized though.

 

[dickey moe]

Therianthropy 2

Bless you

Seems really low for that subgenre.

 

[shuke]

Here's my count by decade.
1960s: 4
1970s: 14
1980s: 26
1990s: 12
2000s: 10
2010s: 9

2010s: 9

Makes sense that the 80s would dominate.

This is where I am. It's been a bad week and I've stalled out around #35 on my list. I will just read along and argue for this adventure. I had planned to put something together for categories for the 31 horror movies in October challenge that a few seemed to attempt last year.

Can't wait to see what I've been missing.

I was a little surprised one from the 20s was making its way into my top 10. That is the one I decided was my next purchase since I was mad I couldn't rewatch it last week for research.

Your input will be missed but understand it's a bit of an undertaking.

I think all we need now is @Ilov80s ??

 

[Scoresman]

Please check your lists one last time for duplicate movies. My rigorous quality control process (cough cough) hasnt been checking this so far.

A lot of my problem is I take these things too seriously and I don't have the mental bandwidth this week. Looking at my list and judging on the people and comments so far, I can't imagine many of mine not being covered, just would slightly alter the rankings.

Hope to have it in today. It’s 90% done, just need to finish the last bit and type it up. I should have time today.
