As for the lack of Snoop Dogg, it was hard to not go for Bones - "Gansta of love don't eat no fried chicken!" - but somehow I talked myself out of it.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-65132341821189926512009-08-10T23:17:00.383-07:002009-08-10T23:17:00.383-07:00Being a big fan of all Italian cinema, I consider ...Being a big fan of all Italian cinema, I consider films of that nature to be essential, but maybe they are second tier, or next level genre films. Like they should be on the round two batch, for the fan of horror that wants to delve further into the sub genres. <br /><br />I really like your list, Jeff. Very surprised (and thrilled) to see Audition on there. I am a little surprised by the lack of movies staring Snoop Dog though! But, Popcorn will suffice!Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-21844538544835140532009-08-10T11:55:29.040-07:002009-08-10T11:55:29.040-07:00Hey B-Sol, it's always interesting to get a ro...Hey B-Sol, it's always interesting to get a round-up of opinions - no matter what the results.

I just look at them as a fun way to gauge what films seem to be in the front of people's minds at the moment. As far as Saw goes, it wouldn't be on any list of mine but I'm more astounded that anyone would put Orphan on their list at all. It's a very cool movie, yes, but to put it on the Top Ten "must-see" horror films is a little premature. And as far as Cannibal Holocaust and Zombi 2 goes, I would agree that those films are of a whole other category.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-36286873935430073892009-08-10T11:17:57.175-07:002009-08-10T11:17:57.175-07:00I was also surprised at a lot of the results mysel...I was also surprised at a lot of the results myself, including the inclusion of Orphan, and the omission of some of the ones you mentioned.
