Some films I go back to over and over because they are so good, "The odd couple" always makes me laugh. Film noir classics like "Double Indemnity" and "The big sleep" are always worth a watch. Anything weird or off the wall also get's my vote, Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" - now there's a surprise! "Belle Du Jour", "The Chelsea Girls" and "Performance" all a bit wacky, not to everyone's taste but it's what I like.

" Carrie" written by Steven King now that is a good horror when i first saw i nearly fainted! There is one really good bit in it i wont say where!when i nearly jumped out of my skin well -fell out of my chair with fright! When i was a teenager i read an Edgar Allan Poe story called T he Monkeys Paw"it was terryfying dont think they made a film of it though?

I don't think horror films have the same impact nowadays I prefer the older ones like The Fog and Halloween. I think Japanese horrors are very creepy like the original Ring and Juon: The Grudge. But I also agree with TakersBabe White Noise was cool. made me jump when one of the ghosts banged on the monitor

kiki I watch Hammer horror films and one I think it's called Tales from the crypt had a version of it in that. Hammer made the best horror films with price, Lee and Cushing!

I cant remember the last time a film really scared me. I think i've seen that many now they dont really bother me.Although i did jump when the hand slammed on the monitor in white noise.I love reading dean koontz books read at least 20 of them also love Richard Laymon and James Herbert too.

Janet I've read Dean Koontz a few times and they always seem to be about being chased by something that is relentless and unstopable! Steven king books are always better than the films.
