Horror

One of my favorite movies of all time. The effects are breathtaking, the characters are interesting in their own ways, and the story is unforgettable. The major theme is grief, and the beauty and horror of life and death.

This is one that stuck with me. I had to tell everyone I know about it, then I watched it again the very next day. I watch it once every couple of months to remind myself how much I love it. To me it's less of a horror movie and more of a psychologic...

This is a must watch for anyone new to horror. In fact, this was my first horror movie ever! I have watched it dozens of times since then and it is still incredible.

Incredible movie!! I just recently added this DVD to my collection. For my third time seeing it, the movie really holds up. My most important suggestion: you MUST watch the original British version, the unrated cut. This link is for the correct versi...

This film feels very old school. The plot builds slowly as the two characters--the only characters in the entire runtime-- begin to descend into madness. There are some homoerotic undertones that make the film particularly interesting.
The Lighthouse - DVD: Dafoe, Pattinson

Super fun slasher. Pretty shocking to watch for the first time, which makes it extremely entertaining to show people. This the first (and best) movie in the X trilogy. Technically it's the prequel, but I would suggest watching it first, then X, then ...

For the claymation fans out there! Beautiful in every possible way. I really can't find the words to describe it. For the parents out there, there is a small amount of dog violence and innuendos, so I wouldn't show it to younger kids but I think olde...

I am being 100% sincere when I tell you this is my favorite movie of all time. I have seen it at least 30 times by now and it's still so good. Every new friend I make is forced to watch it. It's so fun to reference because there are so many great lin...

Totally underrated comedy!!! Written by Jerusha and Jared Hess, who co-wrote Napoleon Dynamite and Gentlemen Broncos, this movie has the same comedy vibe. Jack Black plays a cringe but lovable cook and priest-in-training. He craves the money and fame...

Crazy good movie, totally slept on. Much better than the show in my opinion. If you have been avoiding the movie because you didn't like the show, you really should give the movie a try! It has the funniest cast ensemble and the interpretation of vam...

My favorite musical of all time! This is one of those movies I watch again and again. If I'm sad, or sick, or bored, this is the first movie I reach for

Dear lord. This movie is a life changing experience that will make you cry til your face hurts. That first sequence is like a punch to the gut. But the entire movie is beautiful and will really make you see each moment of your life with new eyes.

Really neat movie for anime fans. The ending is bittersweet, which I love. It's rated PG but ehhh there is one scene near the beginning that seems like a bit much to me. Anyways, I think it would be good for older kids, teens, and adults who enjoy an...
