DISCLAIMER: This list begins with 1970 because I spent most of my life watching films of that era and beyond. I love King Kong, Freaks, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Pit and the Pendulum, etc, but I haven’t spent as much time with them as I have with later films. I do intend to alter the list as years go by. Enjoy!
