[massive hint] Oh, and we also currently have a tie for the number one spot... I hope we get at least one more list submission before I make the final tally of the results to try and break the tie! [/massive hint]

I totally forgot this when i compiled my list. I'm sure it would have made the lower reaches.

However, i'm not altering it.

Nice one Vipp - the more lists the merrier!

By contributing to the overall master list you also become a part of a part of Cult Labs history!

I'm also going to be using these lists to watch some films that have so far eluded me.

I think i have forgotten a few films too mate, 99% of all of my film collection is still wrapped up in moving boxes so i know i will kick myself when i remember a few i have forgotten. It will be interesting to see what comes in at number 1.

Insidious has just had two top twenty placings.

It seems highly rated. Wonder if i misjudged it.

Interesting list, Plato - I think you're the only one to vote for The Thing from Another World so far (although Carpenter's The Thing features highly) and are certainly the only one to have placed Sinister.

I enjoyed it but have yet to re-visit it to see if it holds up as well on a repeat viewing.

I didn't care for The Conjuring though, and have no desire to check out Annabelle anytime soon.

I thought it was average to terrible when i saw it. Perhaps the hype on here killed it for me.

Never seen The Conjuring, Annabelle has done good business Stateside at the cinema.
