Eraserhead.

I also went and saw The Witch a couple weeks ago. I'm convinced that film is the greatest horror film of the 21st century, next to Antichrist.

I have mentioned my love for Brian De Palma a lot on here. Usually I focus on his more Hitchcockian efforts, but recently I have become obsessed with Carrie. It is a powerful piece of work and adds an oneiric ambience to King's original character based story. I'm obsessed.

I would take De Palma's Carrie and Kubrick's The Shining over the original diffuse novels as both are more dream-like than the original texts, although I don't think the Salem's Lot miniseries is even nearly as good as King's book.

I watched Dario Argento's Suspiria the other day. I felt that the plot was rather clunky at times, but the score and the cinematography were sublime.

True that. Also agree on The Shining and Carrie as the best early cinematic translations of King novels.

The Witch and Antichrist are transcendent classics, both of which must be viewed multiple times. So amazing!

Oh, and 1984 is indeed one of the best film adaptations of a novel ever. You'll notice that the dialogue in the scene above is Orwell's almost word for word.

First 10 minutes and last 30 it's a straight horror movie, but in the middle it gets incredibly awesome. I can't find anyone who has ever seen it besides me.

I have seen it about 9 years ago.I liked but I thought the idea of a world were Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers (and Freddy? I am not sure if he is in ) are real is kinda forced...

Dark City is a great sci-fi/horror hybrid. Oh, and Lost Highway by David Lynch.

It is a fantastic film indeed. Everything is pitch perfect, from the performances by Rufus Sewell (a totally underrated actor), Jennifer Connelly, Kiefer Sutherland and William Hurt to the Edward Hopper-inspired interiors. The director's cut is really cool too.
