The Exorcist! So much has been said and written about this movie that people hardly feel that our two bits will make the slightest difference, YET, Im among the few people that actually find the opening sequence as brilliantly effective and crucial to setting the tone for what is to follow. This is a marvelous horror film - one that could have ended up being laughable had it been treated differently. Though there were reports of modern audiences laughing during recent screenings over here in Britain where the film had been ridiculously banned as a "video nasty" for several years - one also laughs when nervous or tense. The film is a quarter of a century old yet still has the power to scare, an achievement in itself considering all the horrors of this century are not in monsters and creatures that suck blood and devour human flesh. There is far too much real, tangible horror around us in our everyday lives for us to feel threatened any longer by a Dracula, a Frankenstein or indeed Satan. The Exorcist is, by a whisker the most frightening experience that people have enjoyed in a cinema. Most Memorable Moment: well, that voice!

The ORIGINAL Hills Have Eyes. A close second is the first Halloween movie. Also an apparently little-known movie from the late 70's-early 80's called Phantasm. OMG the undertaker in that movie!

Jaws. Released June 1975, and I still can't go swimming out in the ocean.
The makers of that movie knew the concepts of suspense and horror, and combined them incredibly well. Those of you who saw it: did not every single person in the movie theatre scream when the severed head fell out of the hull of the shark-attacked boat as the main character was investigating the wreck? I know I did. I also didn't sleep for three nights after viewing the movie.
That summer (I was thirteen, then), I couldn't even go swimming in my family's backyard pool after dark without having a panic attack.

HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER. Sure, THE EXORCIST is scary as hell, but watch HENRY, keeping in mind that someone like that could be just down the street, living in your neighborhood. Then tell me you're not scared...
