EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC
A true bad movie classic! A nominal sequel to THE EXORCIST, this is a staggeringly ambitious, globe-spanning vision of ancient evil and redemption that’s also colossally misguided.
THE EXORCIST
Here we come to perhaps the most famous and revered horror movie of our time–indeed maybe of all time
EVIL DEAD II
A film as influential to the horror genre as any of the biggies (DRACULA, THE EXORCIST, etc.), Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD II: DEAD BY DAWN introduced a near-revolutionary mix of slapstick and horror
EVEN DWARFS STARTED SMALL
A strange, anarchic masterpiece from German filmmaker Werner Herzog, who was mining a vein similar to the films of David Lynch and Harmony Korine years before those guys came into vogue

ELVES
Ludicrous straight-to-video anti-Christmas trash from the eighties! ELVES is popular with bad movie buffs, but don’t expect much
