THE LOTTERY
This 20 minute 1969 short is, simply, the finest existing adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s classic story “The Lottery”
LOST HIGHWAY
Weird, creepy and uncompromisingly elliptic, it’s one of the most outright Lynchian films David Lynch has ever crafted
THE LOST BOYS
An almost-good movie that suffers from an excess of eighties trendiness

THE LOST, the first film adapted from the work of novelist Jack Ketchum, is a skilled and intelligent but strictly not-for-the-squeamish viewing experience
FATAL ATTRACTION
It seems hard to believe that this very silly movie was taken as seriously as it was back in the late 1980s
FANTOMAS
An unapologetically lurid mélange of vice, deception, captures and escapes, this irresistible swirl of pure sensationalism has a running time of nearly six hours yet still left me wanting more
THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER
This is one of the first-ever adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tale “The Fall of the House of Usher” and still among the most interesting
LOKIS
One of the most famous Polish horror films ever, LOKIS is a well made though somewhat monotonous work of atmospheric horror
LITTLE OTIK
From the legendary Czechoslovakian animator/filmmaker Jan Svankmajer comes LITTLE OTIK, a singularly twisted, surreal look at childbearing and the responsibilities that come with it
L’INFERNO
A truly astonishing restoration, this pioneering literary adaptation from 1911, long thought lost, was at last pieced together and exhibited in 2004
