The Servant [DVD] [1963]
3.  The Servant [DVD] [1963] DVD ~ Dirk Bogarde
The list author says:
  "I loved this from when I was a kid, even though it went way over my head with its 'adult' themes. An amazing drama. Atmospheric and captivating, Bogarde and Fox are a match made in...a sort of heaven."

Magnolia - Single Disc Set (1999) [DVD]
4.  Magnolia - Single Disc Set (1999) [DVD] DVD ~ Tom Cruise
The list author says:
  "This film blew my mind apart. Some people actually hate it. Tom Cruise is better than he's ever been, and the rest of the cast deserve a large brandy too...Left me lost for words, quite frankly."

Rosemary's Baby [1968] [DVD]
5.  Rosemary's Baby [1968] [DVD] DVD ~ Mia Farrow
The list author says:
  "What can you say? Polanski did an amazing job on the novel - Farrow and Cassavettes are stunning, as is Ruth Gordon. May be the most basic and terrifying conspiracy film you'll ever see. Hail Satan!"
£3.49   Used & New from: £1.99

6.  Dawn Of The Dead (Director's Cut) [DVD] [1980] DVD ~ David Emge
The list author says:
  "The best zombie film EVER. This scared me as a kid but now its just funny. No one does zombies like Romero. Its a great piece of 70's US cinema, and intelligently conceived. Hit and run? Hit and run."

Deranged [VHS]
7.  Deranged [VHS] VHS Roberts Blossom
The list author says:
  "Man, this film freaked me out. Closely based on Ed Gein. Roberts Blossom (top name!) is terrifyingly watchable. Its dark and nasty, but done with total conviction. Scary stuff."

8.  Texas Chainsaw Massacre [DVD] [1999] DVD ~ Marilyn Burns
The list author says:
  "The only film I can ever remember giving me nightmares when I was a kid. Gritty, and with hardly any gore, its a horrific trip into the beyond. Once seen, never forgotten. You'll hate Franklin..."

12 Angry Men [DVD] [1957]
12.  12 Angry Men [DVD] [1957] DVD ~ Henry Fonda
The list author says:
  "One of those films you simply HAVE to see. Amazing, classic US cast inc. Lee J Cobb, Henry Fonda and Jack Klugman. Its a one-set masterpiece and suitably claustrophobic. One of the best films...EVER."

Vertigo [DVD]
13.  Vertigo [DVD] DVD ~ James Stewart
The list author says:
  "My favourite Hitchcock film. Deeply atmospheric and dreamlike with great performances from Stewart and Novak. The church tower ending still scares the bejesus out of me. Stunning score by Hermann."

15.  Straw Dogs [1971] [DVD] DVD ~ Dustin Hoffman
