»rank: 4156
0ur opinion:Description:A group is introduced to the supernatural through a 9O-year old New England haunted house. Be prepared for hair-raising results in this classic horror film! essential video:Certain to remain one of the greatest haunted-house movies ever made, Robert Wise's The Haunting (1963) is antithetical to all the gory horror films of subsequent decades, because its considerable frights remain implicitly rooted in the viewer's sensitivity to abject fear. A classic spook-fest based on Shirley Jackson's novel The Haunting of Hill House (which also inspired the ...

Peyton Place
»rank: 6731
0ur opinion:Description:Peyton Place is the sensitive and poignant story of coming of age in a small New England village whose peaceful facade hides love and passion, scandal and hypocrisy. :Nominated for nine Academy Awards in 1957, Peyton Place has become synonymous with torrid soap opera.

Multiple storylines deftly interweave: Allison MacKenzie (Diane Varsi), an ambitious young girl struggling with ...

Based on a novel by Edna Ferber. :The 196O remake of Cimarron manages a slight improvement on the worst Best Picture (1931) in Academy Award history. Not that Edna Ferber's novel of pioneer 0klahoma was ever a movie natural.
