That one recently passed into the public domain, at least in the U.S.

I highly recommend watching a version with the Voices of Light soundtrack - https://youtu.be/NS_s6jrHnFE

I would have gone with The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure

But this is about art film. That's one of his documentaries

Though The Shining towards the top of people's lists feels kind of default judging against the rest of the list, I dare anyone who listed it as #1 to watch it again in a theatre or without any distractions (book/phone/Shining as background) and see how it holds up to you. The movie is a slog.

Hey now, I gave every entry my full attention at least once and it wasn't hard for The Shining! I think the fact that we can even attend theatrical screenings of this 40-year-old movie speaks to how well it holds up, few movies enjoy that kind of longevity.

If you're getting distracted by books while watching movies that just sounds like a focus problem

I might as well get in on this one since I've already enjoyed at least half of these

Would anyone be interested in doing a Nicolas Cage ranking in the future? I'm on a mission to watch all his movies (eventually) so I might as well curate a list of his finest work

Drink deep or taste not the plasma spring, you see what I'm saying?

Speaking of best performances on the list, Goldblum crushes the behavioral/dispositional transformation here. I think he sells it in a way that makes it look easier than it is.

Guessing The Thing is #2

Great movie, the best surprise on the list. I watched all of the movies in chronological order and then went back to Possession for seconds because nothing else went that hard (that I hadn't seen before)

It's bound to be Nightmare on Elm Street next

Bit of trivia I found out while writing about this one - Michael Keaton is not related to Diane Keaton, and neither are related to Buster Keaton. Three independently famous Keatons

I'll go with A Nightmare on Elm Street now

Evil Dead II took me a while to come around on, when I first saw it I was disappointed that it eschewed the grisly, threatening vibe of the first movie and took a more cheesy parodical direction instead. On top of which, it mucks up the continuity. I really had to mentally decouple it from the original to get into it.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the next one is Beetlejuice and we're gonna have one sad Tim Burton fan

Yeah Hellraiser 2 goes nuts. This reminds me I found a pretty good Pinhead cosplay at a horror movie con last year

Solid top tep, of course seven of mine are still in it so naturally I'm going to think that. I'll stick with Videodrome for #10

As for my placement of Basket Case/Tetsuo, the critical difference there is that Tetsuo doesn't bore me. I put that one at 5 precisely because it has a high "fun to watch" watch value, not because of any high-brow meaning or metaphor. This is a movie where a guy gets stop-motion rocket boots

Henry is unkillable, let's go with Videodrome

I had no idea that Fright Night was that well-liked, to the point where people consider it superior to Child's Play. Chucky is so iconic, whereas the only time I've ever heard anyone refer to Fright Night was Herschel Walker on the campaign trail.

Let's keep it rolling with The Dead Zone

Glad I'm not the only one who found George C. Scott too unflappable in the lead role.

And shouldn't I get 200 for guessing Changeling in the 21st slot?

I totally agree that Near Dark is the superior 80's counterculture vampire movie

Although I have been enjoying "I Still Believe" nearly daily since watching this. The sax guy is immortal, there's even an SNL skit about him

Oh shoot, off by one on my Pet Sematary pick!

I do think I overrated Friday the 13th at 15, now that the initial relief of the killer not being Jason has worn off. It really does compare unfavorably to Sleepaway Camp

Poser disclosure - in 4th grade, I dressed up as Jason for Halloween and to this day I have never seen any of the movies that feature Jason. I just thought the glow-in-the-dark hockey mask looked cool.

Save the titan blood for weapon upgrades, and go for gemstones early on because there are a few functional things to buy with them before they become the currency for cosmetics. The broker will always have one unique deal after each run so it's worth checking every time.

Also, if you're using a controller the trick with the fishing is to go by the visual indication and not the controller vibration. It took me a long time to figure out you can get a 'perfect catch' if you hit it right on and produce rarer fish/items.
