Jaws- Not scary at all. ot even a good movie, IMO. Im gonna get flamed, but I fould it really boring and pointless

Ive never even heared oof Lost Higway.....but It doesnt sound like it deserves to be there....


I dont know if I think Omen and Exorcist should both be there......Exorcist, sure, why not. . But Omen is a diret knockoff of the exorcist, so it shouldnt bother be there

If I remeber correctly, it was done by David Lynch and has some well known actors. Like most Lynch movies you have to stay with it, (no distractions) or it won't make much sense.

The list was OK but I totally did not agree with Lost Highway being there. I didn't find it at all memorable. I usually like David Lynch too, but that one did not impress me much.
The special was awesome just to see Bruce. He's my fave.

Jaws is responsible for an entire generation of people being so terrified of sharks, they are being hunted to extinction. i would say something like that deserves to be on a "scariest movies ever" list.... (fucking peter benchly...ashole.....)

I have never seen lost wighway, but being that it is david lynch, i would assume it is a good mindfuck if nothing else, possibly making it deserving. "Dont judge a book by it's cover...."

The Omen is NOT a rip-off of the exorcist. It is related, in that it deals with the devil, sort of. The demon in the exorcist was pazuzu, not satan. 2 points off there.
Damien isnt posessed, he is the Antichrist. another 2 points off for you. Outside of coming from the same decade, centering around children, and dealing with biblical evil, they have NOTHING in common.

Oh, wait. they were both filmed in english....:rolleyes:

Lost Highway has slight traces of 'the supernatural' but it wasnt at all frightening .. in the least.

Alien should be on that list somewhere.
It was basically a gothic horror in space and had a couple of
fright moments that were more effective than most of the movies on that list.

Jaws was incredibly terrifying for the time.

The Changeling deserves to be on the list ... replace se7en .. it wasn't scary at all, just creepy.

I agree totally. Especially about alien.

I wish people would STOP listing Rosemary's Baby on "Scariest Movies" lists! The damn movie could be aired on NICK AT NITE!

Ummm, other than that...pretty decent list.

Rosemary's Baby has to be judged under a different light.
It is scary in its own way .. not popcorn throwing shocks, but
the fear of losing your mind ... or a conspiracy ... where you're the only one that knows something and even the people closest to you wont believe ...you have no one to turn to.
Maybe its not a thrillfest but the great direction and building atmosphere of suspense makes it a contender as far as I'm concerned.

Probably something that would affect someone with a family more because the greatest fear of any parent concerns your child - or c'hild to be' in this case.

I think it belongs in the list ... not in the top 10 but certainly in a top 20.
