Several categories are more than thin: there are only two horror movies listed (<strong>Don't Look Now</strong>, perhaps because it has Julie Christie, and <strong>Near Dark</strong>). The great camp horror classic from Roman Polanski, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6301967992/103-3971419-1554250?v=glance" target="new">Fearless Vampire Killers, or, Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck</a>, is not included either, not even as a footnote in the review of Polanski's first post-Sharon Tate film, <strong>Macbeth</strong>. Mark Englehart reviewing it on Amazon.com, wrote, <em>"If you think [the Scottish play] is normally a bit of a downer, you haven't seen Polanski's bleak version of it, made in reaction to the murder of his wife, Sharon Tate, by the Manson "family.""</em> 104376@blogcritics.org Sun, 19 Dec 2004 14:44:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/18/223237.php#comment-104336 This book looks super-cool and thanks for the great review. I especially like the Attitude and Mood indicators. My only gripe (with the book) is: why so short? Why only 100? Surely there must be at least 1000 great unheard movies out there. I must admit I'm very curious to know if <i>Blood Sucking Freaks</i> is reviewed in the book. I can only imagine what the mood/attitide would be for that "classic"...
