It was only there in my draft version under consideration. It's a film I like in some respects, but was blinded by its cult status rather than personal enjoyment when I first included it. As I started really delving into my rankings, it started to sink lower and lower until... gone.
I have thought as to why I don't like it as much as other horror fans seem to, and have come to the conclusion that it is due to me not liking action films much. Dawn is basically a horror action film, a lot of the horror elements (and even the zombies) take a back-seat to the action sequences and dialogue and interactions between the characters. This is also probably why I don't rate Aliens much either.

Don't Look Now is excellent. It's really tense and chilling, plus both Sutherland and Christie put in a great performance. The cinematography is also excellent, with some great scenes of the Venice canals. Hopefully the ending wasn't spoiled for you on your first watch, as that could diminish the impact of the film greatly.
