Pleasantly surprised you loved A Ghost Story. Thought for sure that it being very-outlier in that line-up might make one less receptive to it.

Midnight Run (1988) - 9
The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
Sisters (1973) - 6.5
Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
Yeh the sequels are very uninspired. But hey, I would have never known that Jason X is a ripoff of Hellraiser Bloodline if I never saw it though.Quoting Irish (view post)
See!!! You shoulda followed my advice
I loved the element of time in A Ghost Story. There was something so soothing about it.
Also for fun, I started creating a top 20 (or 30) All Slasher Movies Ranked List.
I'm thinking of doing a write up/thread like I did for the 90s action movie list.
I need to revisit a few franchises (Nightmare on Elm Street and TCM) and some golden era films
Specifically:
Maniac
My Bloody Valentine
Prom Night
Silent night Deadly Night
Sleepaway Camp
The Burning
House on Sorority Row
Slumber Party Massacure
When a Strange Calls
Stageright
Happy Birthday to Me
April Fools Day
The Town that dreaded Sundown
Hell Night
The Prowler
Funhouse Massacre
Let me know if I'm missing anything, but I think I have the majority down.
"Peeping Tom," "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" (74), and "The Hills Have Eyes" (77).
Maybe "Driller Killer," "Toolbox Murders," "Terror Train," "Evil Laugh," and "Maniac Cop."
Terror Train! Good one. I have Peeping Tom and Hills Have eyes already logged. And I'm going to rewatch the whole TCM series.
Scream.
Sleepaway Camp, The Burning, and Silent Night Deadly Night...you're good to go.
Such a great film.
Speaking of great films...
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 never disappoints. What an absolutely gonzo film, so absolutely packed with charm and character.

I like that list! Minus Train to Busan, and a handful that I haven't seen.
I'm surprised he doesn't have the original Dawn of the Dead, but maybe he felt too close to it given his involvement with the remake.
But yeah, fun list.
Edgar Wright's top 100:
1. Nosferatu
2. Frankenstein
3. Freaks

7. The Invisible Man

10. Invasion of the Body Snatchers

See those movies are great and all, but if I'm going to sit down and watch Freaks again I better be drunk.
Snore list...
Chronological (just in case anyone reads that as a top ten).
Full list is excellent, as expected.

Oh that makes more sense.
That sounds snarky. I'm not being snarky.

I'm shocked at Wright's complete skip of any and all Val Lewton; I prefer to read that as simple error instead of the perspective that no Lewton film is as mentionable as The People Under the Stairs or The Ruins.
Also the relative lack of Hammer films and slasher movies, given Wright's age and nationality.
I think it's a snooze because it's very safe. Outside a few outliers, every film on here is the best example of its kind during its year of release. Most of this thing reads like a syllabus from an upper level cinema studies program. There's no personality to it at all, and reading it I learned nothing about Wright.
Is that a map of the state's favorite horror movies? I doubt that many people are a fan of Suspiria.
Yes and that was my biggest surprise here.
I'm more shocked that The Ring has nearly half of all states. What the hell? It's okay, mostly.
I thought it was where each film took place until I realized that didn't make sense.
I did too.
Silence of the Lambs is interesting pick for my state, I'll take it.
