    Alien for me, most definitely. Psycho was a bit before my time, I still haven't seen it "properly". The parts I did see just didn't do anything for me.. and the music was kind of annoying more than...

    Yeah, I guess so. I like how it went into detail on the psychological aspects.. now that I think about it, it seems this book might have influenced movies such as Session 9 (vivid description of...

    I voted rarely..

    It's been a long time since I actually did re-read a book, but I can see myself re-reading a few special books in the future. Atlas Shrugged, some DT books, maybe LoTR. Recently...

    Surprised you thought it was so pointless! The first half (autobiography part) was pretty interesting and the second half had a few good quotes and concepts. Though most I already felt I knew from my...

    Me too - Sixth Sense is pretty poor on subsequent viewings.. Definitely The Exorcist for me. While I liked Evil Dead II, it doesn't really come across as a typical horror movie. Evil Dead remake...

    I don't mind western/fantasy/sci-fi/post apocalyptic genres, so I was expecting something a little more... less dull, at least.. from the first DT book. I remember endless streams of dialogue between...
