Better than...

[Doc Faustus]

I totally agree with you on that one. Carnival's just scarier.
I think Murnau's Faust is better than Nosferatu. Faust has so many memorable visuals and Emil Jannings is incredible in it. I think as an actor Jannings overshadows Schreck and even Werner Krauss. I think Faust is also better than Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

Posher you seriously ruin everyone's fun.

This is basically different because people actually put thought into this one and say which one they think is better and why. Yours no offense is just who likes one more then the other.

Now I am not sure if this is just limited to Horror but I will go with a different genre.

I think King Arthur (with Clive Owen) is better then Troy just because I think the overall acting in King Arthur is just better then the acting in Troy and also I think the way the fight scenes were shot are just more put together and easier to follow.

Um, guys... Allow me to take us back to Night of the Living Dead for a few. I so have to disagree with your "lack of atmosphere" statement, and yes this is based purely on personal opinion.

First, for much of the movie there isn't a lot of musical score, there's wind. When there is musical score, it's garish, blaring over the top. The whole movie presents the feeling of claustrophobia- It's the living who are intombed, not the dead. Now remember the zombie march, the sound of feet on grass, with the occasional grown.

Dawn is a horror movie with all the bells ans whistles. It's good but you'll never convince me that Night wasn't the masterpiece.

Porn Of The Dead is the masterpiece sister :)

Welcome back, tarot card reader. V's thread works, after all.

Well don't be, the more threads we have the more people will post in the right? We have more than one movie quote thread right? Bah, don't confuse nit-picky with bitchy. ;)


This one may not be popular...

I think Spider Baby is better than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I think I actually enjoy every aspect of The Maddest Story Ever Told more than TCM, well, besides enjoying the iconic Leatherface. The plot just seems to have more development and most of the characters have more life to them. I'm sure the more irascible folks here will be lambasting me for this one... ;)

I really need to check Spider Baby out, Jack Hill is great. Have you seen Switchblade Sisters?

Years ago, a fun movie but I regrettably don't remember a lot of it.
