I have the Studio Canal/Optimum Blu-Ray and it is absolutely superb. Definitely recommended if you're set up for HD.

I have seen it (many years ago!) and it's on my 1961 Runners Up list.

I love Psycho,but Peeping Tom is a masterpiece! Another class act from 1960 is CITY OF THE DEAD-A few films borrowed some atmosphere from this.Superb. Another fave is the original VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED-Very creepy indeed,and it's later sequel was also superb. Other goodies from this year include; Peter Cushing in THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS Mario Bava's MASK OF THE DEMON-A beautiful film! Franju's Les Yeux Sans Visage-Another class act served well on dvd.

The problem i have found with these lists of yearly films - For example Taste of Fear wins its yearly slot, as does Freddie Francis' film Girly, however neither film is as good as say Witchfinder General which came a close second to The Devil Rides Out in its year. |

1960, hmmm... Dead heat between 'Pyscho', the only film my parents forbid me to watch (you're too young etc.) didn't work tho, stayed up late one night to watch it, great memories. 'Black Sunday' is sheer genius, especially when viewed by a 12 year old horror fan at 1 o'clock in the morning, brill. Although the top horror that year was my birth. (cue Omen theme and diabolical laughter)

Peeping Tom by far. One of the very finest films of any genre, of any year, in my opinion. Then Les Yeux Sans Visage (I thought this was 1959, but I am amending my reply now I realise it counts!) Then an impossible call between Psycho and Mask Of Satan/Black Sunday/etc for third place. Then the under-rated and very wonderful Flesh And The Fiends - my favourite Cushing performance and one of my all-time favourite lines in cinema: "Gentlemen, if you would incline you heads to the left, you will see a door. Please use it". I didn't realise 1960 had so much in it! Mind you, I had always thought of Peeping Tom and Les Yeux Sans Visage as 1959 films. |
