except of course the the traditional favorites which I’ll write up 11/1.

The Conjuring. Really well done. We see something new every viewing. Clean and well told story. Oft repeated, never exceeded. Moved it UP a couple notches. #125 on my list, with a 9.9.

The Shining. Same thing. Really not a fan half-a-dozen years ago but it just keeps making this list because of OTHER people and I just keep dinking up MY list. Finally cracked my top 1,000. 9.1

Suspiria. Not the 2018 remake – MUCH more sexual but not NEARLY as iconic. It ads social commentary at the cost of art. 9.7

Ghostbusters. Ray Parker Jr. “There is no Dana. There is only Zuul.” The most Libertarian movie on the list. Hell, probably the second most Libertarian movie on ANY list (cf. Groundhog Day.) I’ll be honest – haven’t seen it much over the last couple of years. Liking this “new” list construction for October. 9.7

The Sixth Sense. JUST misses my top 500. Dropped a little this year. Still merits a 9.4 and will probably make the list for quite a few years,
