Precinct is a good modern update on Carpenter's original. (I did wonder whether to go with the Carpenter version as a remake of Rio Bravo to be honest but decided not to as it' has a different title.)

Carnival of Souls probably isn't that great but i like it. Think it has a nice atmosphere and good ghoul designs.

How could I forget Halloween!

Also never got the love for True Lies, even the infamous Jamie Lee Curtis (looking manly as ****!) dance scene does bugger all for me, probably my least favourite James Cameron film

To be honest that's the worst part of True Lies. The whole infidelity sup plot in the middle. I'd get rid of it all and cut the running time down by half an hour.

I've never found Jamie Lee Curtis attractive.

You'll be lucky if you can find them expensive. (On dvd that is - no idea about blu-ray)

You can get both for under £3 for the pair on Music Magpie
