1980

tie between ZFE and Buio Omega. if only because i started my boxing day shenanigans with this double bill, and because they still do the job ie horrify, gave loan of BO to mate 3 years ago and still has he watched it? has he ****...and this is the guy who sweatily came round with CH clutched to his bosom...go figure....

Seems like me and you have similar tastes, hamish.

Tough decision,this one.The Brood,Alien,Phantasm,Zombi 2,Buio Omega,Dawn of the Dead...all great horror movies in my book,but I guess my pick is Alien.It's still great to look at,I think my first encounter with it was some shitty TV airing,so it's greatness only came to me later on.

I never really got Alien.
No idea why, its a decent film, but it never grabbed me.
Its probably the boring hour before anything of note happens.

I am pretty much on my own with those views i know.

WHAT WAS THAT DEM?
THERE'S AN ECHO IN THERE!

Alien is a slow burner,a masterpiece of suspense.

Yeah ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS is another class act from this year!

The underwater Bruce vs Bub fight still takes a bit of beating!
(As does Auretta Gay's swimsuit!)

It certainly is -- the phrase 'here, kitty kitty' just doesn't sound the same after watching it, does it?

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Yeah!

ALIEN-Director's cut or theatrical cut?

This may sound daft, but as soon as i saw Bava's Planet of the Vampires around 20 years ago i completely lost any love i had for Alien.

I quite like Aliens and Alien 3 - directors cut though.

I watch the director's cut occasionally, but the theatrical cut is, for me, the best version and, if memory serves, the one that Ridley Scott prefers.
