NOTLD is even better, I agree.

Wow, to me Dawn is fantastic, just love it, easily will top my list, "when there's no more room in hell" and "we must stop the killing or lose the war" great lines. Along with The Exorcist there's quite a gap to number 3, I would be amazed if those two don't top the list, but it's so great that there's such a variety of taste here, also I'm looking forward to seeing if Franco or Naschy make it, at the mo I've got 1 from each of em so far('best' to me has quite a few options) even more than the 80s plenty of 'outside the box' to choose from.

The Hunchback Of The Morgue has to be part of EVERY submitted list. Period.

Everybody should suggest some more films you don't think get enough love. We could all have some 'For Your Consideration' films.

Glad you're enjoying it: Carsploitation at its finest!

A real shame that Weir didn't make more horror-themed films... although I have been meaning to check out The Last Wave for a while.

No love for Satan's Slave or Shock Waves B_E?

I had them both in the mix at one time, but both missed the cut, unfortunately.

Depending on my frame of mind when I submit the final list, they may make a re-appearance: I'm pretty happy with 1-60, but there may be some major re-shuffling to come

Glad to see A Candle for the Devil in there.

Only saw it myself for the first time a couple of Christmas's back but it would make my top 100 on that single viewing.

Another i'll route out again from the collection.
