Nostalgia is pretty much the number one deciding factor in ranking my all time favorite movies. However, I’m still fairly young and, having just moved passed the high school faze a couple years ago, I get nostalgic about a movie like Scream 4 that came out in 2011.
Texas Chainsaw 3D is the perfect example and I’m so glad you mentioned it! I absolutely love this film, and I make no apologies for that. The flaws are what I love about it. To me, Chainsaw 3D is the closest we’ve gotten to a true Friday the 13th sequel since the mid-80s! It’s got plot-holes, cheesy dialogue, acting that’s not exactly Oscar worthy, to say the least, and gore effects that are comical at best… and that’s why it’s perfect. Do all of those attributes sound familiar? I just summed up pretty much all of the original Friday films, all of which are among my favorite movies of all time. Texas Chainsaw 3D didn’t try too hard, but neither did Friday the 13th Part 3, for example. And that’s why I love them both. They’re just simple and fun.

Excellent points one and all–I had that same argument about Super 8 with a friend who said ET had no plot holes. (I pointed out that it’s pretty far-fetched, if not an outright plot hole, that a mom and some kids can walk into a government-secured, sterile environment and steal an actual alien and my friend had no response)

Anyway, cool web site. Am doing a book on Halloween and will include your web site as a cool site to check out!

I actually really enjoyed the Evil Dead remake, as well as Prometheus, and Super 8. I try not to bash anything before I see a trailer, at the very least. As fas as newer movies I enjoy: Tusk, The Houses October Built, The Guest, You’re Next, and yes, the F13 remake.

I was reminded of it today with the Vanderbilt rape case in the news. Also The Battery really needs to get a lot more love. Best zombie movie I’ve seen since Shaun of the Dead.
