There are many favorites...I'll just list "Tombstone."

The worst movie of all time is easily "The Puma Man."

Thank god you didn't say "David Lynch" in the bad category... I would have had to hate you.

Massacre is spelled "massacre."

You lost credibility with "Rave Into the Year 2000" in the "best" list.

Rave IS a joke and David Lynch is GOD!

David Lynch is the greatest surrealist filmmaker ever! Bunuel and Dali did a good job with "Un Chien Andalou," but Lynch has a real purpose with his work... I also liked "That Obscure Object of Desire" by Bunuel, but I like Lynch better.

Let's face it, you just don't like surrealist films. biggrin

You should check out "Un Chien Andalou" when you get a chance and tell me what you think of it.

I guess not. I cant stand his films. I just dont "get it".

havent seen elephant man or straight story but Lost Highway was just as bad.

I am actually a B Movie freak. I love Troma films and John Waters. Im big into horror also. My favorites are things like The Omen, Amityville Horror, The Changeling, etc. I cant stand modern horror though. Gotta go with the classics.
