The Pit and the Pendulum (1961). My first Vincent Price film and one of my very first Horror films. I haven't seen this in a while, but I remember that I always liked the film. The scene with the iron maiden scared the shit out of me.
Theatre of Blood (1973). An excellent film that I first saw when I was still a nice boy. Right from the beginning, I was mesmerized by the strange blend of gory violence and dark humour. I still love it.
The Wild Bunch (1968). Like most of Peckinpah's works, this film showcases the strange esthetics of violence. I always have to smile when I think of the first massacre involving a temperance movement parade. My first real Western after quite a few nice and cozy Wayne flicks.
