Dosent it have to be more than 2 movies to be a series? but anyway, those were good B rated horror flicks. I also liked the hills have eyes (original, and 1 & 2)

HIGHLY underrated movie, if you ask me.  I'm not sure it's a great movie of our time (and least not for me), but I'm glad this made someone else's list.

I first saw this one when I was in my teens sobbed all night, this continued to be a favorite for many years.

I love this movie.  I watch it every time I run across it.
It's a good creepy movie and Vin has nice muscles.  Good combo.




RosaB -> RE: Great Movies Of Our Time (7/30/2007 5:08:17 PM)

Yep, Picth black would be on my list too.  The second one to it was ok, but the first had me on edge through out much of the movie.  Love it.

Yes it was an amazing movie;  and to think Dith Pran survived the event of the story to tell his experiences.
