The Fifteen Movies of All Time

The early, early 2000s saw my first visit to houseofhorrors.com & I had quickly become fixated with the simplicity & elegance of its overall design. Sadly, that website has long since become a shadow of its former self after some company having purchased it. For a while the upkeep had become non-existent, & now it has been transformed into a soulless horrour-themed entertainment webpage.

That being said, the Spirit of the old-school House of Horrors still acts upon me. A quick look into this page's source will reveal I'm still an avid proponent of displaying information in tabular HTML4-esque forme if it won't prove to be annoying, I have no issues at all with utilising static pages (though the rest of the Anthology says otherwise), & I'm a huge believer in dark backgrounds & plain-white text. Most important, content always overrules forme in my mind, & this is exactly the underlying principle governing this page's creation.

The TOP 15 page's design is heavily inpsired by the House of Horrors, true. However, the content for each movie listed below—from my most favourite to least—is more than juste a well thought-out review. I'm of the opinion, that any serious review ought to be more analysis than it is a cumulative scoring of the various aspects constituting a movie: produxion value, writing, acting, &c. I've become rather disillusioned—perhaps bored?—with the YouTube-style of movie reviews which do in fact give a valid opinion based on these criteria.

My aim in "reviewing" each movie is perhaps antithetical to this formula. You should not expect to find such-and-such reasons for why I liked so-and-so. But, too, it's not beyond the realm of possibility of my including these reasons. What you should expect is in-depth analyses. The director or writer's intent does not weigh heavily on me; really, I'm in it for the self-enrichment & the results which this or that piece of celluloid may yield, & so it follows that I'm not very close-minded about the movies I do spend my days thinking over. It suffices to say that this is juste how I roll. In the end, I expect a single movie to have a series of thematically interconnected essays that will be linked in their respective pages. Anyway, in the immortal words of Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that. Try to relax a little, have a look around, & let me know what you think if you've got the time.
