The Last House on the Left - In the same way as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Cannibal Holocaust, this does diminish slightly in its power and ability to shock, but is still a really impressive film. I don't even mind the rubbish policemen!
Quatermass and the Pit - A classic Hammer Horror with a fascinating premise, great performances and effects which still stand up today. This BD looks and sounds terrific, but I'm going to watch it again with the commentary and doublecheck on the amount of DNR. I should have the review (along with that for HariKiri) up this weekend.

I love Harakiri a true epic film in terms of story, and a great climax fight scene: over the top and realistic at the same time
