Though there is still bit over a month to go in this decade, I've decided to compile a list of my 15 favorite films from 2000 - 2009 (If, by happenstance, another film comes along in the next month that blows me away, I may edit the list).

Hi guys. We are two ep's away from being the big 10 and we go from strength to strength.

Perhaps a better example is the king of all scare films, "The Excorist. The flashing of a demonic face, the eerie dream sequences and the sound. No music to blare out to scare the audience. ( I found that to be the biggest cheat to make someone jump--see "A haunting in Connecticut") The sound was an added key to the film's success, subtle and very low keyed, if anything more like a screeching low hum.
Didn't care much for Kubrick's version of the Shining, (much better than the Tv version though) But Kubrick did tapped into a foreboding dread of the Overlook Hotel. My favorite scene was Danny riding his big wheel bike around the floors of the hotel, again sound is the key here. The plastic wheels moving across the floor between wood and carpet and the repetitive routine, created a sleight sense of discomfort, as if something was about to happen..and of course it did.
Now don't get me wrong, I like my shlock horror films as well, (Reanimator being my favorite in the 80's) But the bottom line of it all I rather be creeped rather than grossed out.
Good to hear from you.
I would agree that recent remakes are not up to the original standards, these remakes/prequels are really lame excuses to turn something into a franchise. It's about fast money with little effort, based on a commercial name.
I would luv to compare notes on horror films, i'm quite interested on what you have to say. How far back in horror films do you watch, I'm ol'e school myself--40's ,50's, 60's all the way to today.
Do you prefer atmosphere (Rosemary's Baby) or a bit of comic gore (The Evil Dead)?
As for your jukebox, I like the diversity--Barry White --Sinatra, works for me.
Oh by the way your jukebox is rockin'!!

For some reason I never saw Fight Club. It looks interesting, and I'm a big fan of Fincher (just rewatched Se7en and orgasmed again), but all the 20-something white gamer kids saying "dude bro Fight Club is fukken epic its the best movie ever" serve as a deterrent.
