Re: Good horror flicks!
I love "Jaws." It's one of my "comfort movies." (To me that means any movie I've seen so many times I can recite the dialogue. I pop in a "comfort movie" when I feel terrible and it just plays in the background sometimes.) "I think you're gonna need a bigger boat" is up there with "Houston, we have a problem" as far as "great understatements" as far as I'm concerned.
The only horror movies that have always maintained the ability to scare me no matter how many times I see them are "Evil Dead" and "Evil Dead II." I adore "Army of Darkness," but it's also funny as hell and doesn't scare me anymore.
The original "Night of the Living Dead" scares me. After that it became "oh, all right, enough already."
I like "House of the Dead" because the zombies can run like hell in it. All of that stiff legged, slow motion they-catch-the-people-anyway stuff went out the window, thankfully.
