Ok I'll start.
You can judge a great book by how many movies are made from it. I AM LEGEND was one of the best ever horror novels.
There were three movies but for creepiness I reckon you can't go past the original, back and white- with Vincent Price- the king of horror- THE LAST MAN ON EARTH.
You beat me to it. Delete my thread.

Do you remember Omega Man which was along the lines of last man standing in the future.

Yes great movie and so was I AM LEGEND but the Vincent Price one scared the death out of me. Even now it is creepy. maybe it was the black and white. Like 'The Gorgan'. It was in color but with TV ..well.

My favourite movie of all time would be the original Time Machine with Rod Taylor. I was always fascinated with time travel so this movie just totally did it for me. Still watch it quite regularly.

A couple of other faves would be 12 Angry Men and Anatomy of a Murder.

Fave Xmas movie of all time is the original Miracle on 34th Street, it is just so charming.

Worst of all time would be any Star Wars movie, and both the old and the new Blade Runner.
The most recent Blade Runner was particularly bad and boring.

Not sure I have seen the Vincent Price one, will have to follow up on that.

I find some Aussie movies very corny, a recent one was " The Merger", another big budget flop was "Australia" with Hugh Jackman, if you like war movies "Five Came Back" was very good as was " The Siege at Jadotville" was a true story and well done.

Cant leave this one out, another true story, the US embassy was attacked.
