As usual with such lists, some of it hard to argue with, some (the notion that Kubrick's worst mature film is a Classic--you have to go back to FEAR AND DESIRE for worse, and I've not seen that one in its entirety--or that the remake of HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL isn't at least as amusing as the original, even with a subdued Kattan in the cast) impossible to agree with. Sure doesn't seem to be aware of all the other versions of several of the adaptation films (from the Mary Shelley and Jack Finney novels, for example).

And I was expecting, if not a citation of SIESTA, at least of WES CRAVEN'S CARNIVAL OF SOULS.
