Silence of the Lambs.  Horror?  Barely.  Anthony Hopkins wins the Oscar with just 16 minutes of screen time.  I did drop it out of my top 10.  Now #14 between The Hustler and The Wizard of Oz.

We'll follow it up with the first hour of From Dusk 'til Dawn.  just the first hour.  That's it.  We'll be watching it earlier in the month next year.

Since we saw Carrie Fisher yesterday it seems only right to watch Janet Leigh today.  Psycho.  It just keeps staying good.  Still in my top 100 ..... 9.9. 

and we pair it with something COMPLETELY different.  Young Frankenstein.  What to say?  Top 20.  100 out of 100.  Stands the test of time.  Just awesome.

A VERY pleasant surprise ..... the re-boot of Friday the 13th!  Good camera work.  Decent color.  Lot's of well-presented eye candy.  Lens flares.  Story-line is an amalgam ofthe first original three.  And Amanda Righetti who I LOVED in The Mentalist.  I'll start off with a 66.6 out of 100.

Follow it up with the holiday classic Halloween.  Just doesn'tstand up to the passage of time.  Oh, there's some good stuff here (ahem .... P J Soles .... ) like the soundtrack.  But otherwise it just keeps making the list for the same reason some decorations get put up.  They're in the box. We've used it for years.  We'll miss it if we don't.  Dropped it to 9.4 and it will go below 9 next season.

RUSSKIS! UNDER MY BED!

I’m old enough to remember when worrying about the Russians was risible 1980s nostalgia, mocked by all right-thinking people.

UPDATE: Flashback: Nostradamus Chris Matthews Mocked Mitt Romney’s ‘Latest Misstep’ on Russia, a ‘Faux Pas.’

CONRAD BLACK ON OUR LAME ELECTION: This Is How Democracy Is Supposed To Work.

A Note to Democrats Over Forty Years Old.

OF COURSE IT WAS. NOW WHAT FRAUD ARE THEY WORKING IN THE CURRENT ELECTION? Jim Treacher: Lefties Finally Admit: ‘Binders Full Of Women’ Panic Was Fraudulent. Remember, every GOP nominee is literally Hitler every four years. Then they get de-Hitlerized later so they can be contrasted to the horribleness of the current GOP nominee.

Coming soon:  Rigging!

SINGULAR? The Obamacare problem that Democrats don’t want to talk about.

 MICHELLE MALKIN: Obama Lied. My Third Health Plan Just Died. That means it’s working.

DEMOCRAT MINNESOTA GOVERNOR: Obamacare ‘no longer affordable’ for many.  That means it’s working.

 CLINTON ALLY ON OBAMACARE WEBSITE: ‘IN REAL LIFE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN FIRED.’

TRAINWRECK UPDATE: The collapse of Obamacare in North Carolina has been nothing short of spectacular.

CONGRESSMEN BURGESS, PRICE, ROE: Our diagnosis as doctors — ObamaCare is about to collapse.

related:  HE SAID THAT ABOUT BUYING HEALTH INSURANCE, TOO. HOW DID THAT WORK OUT? Filing Taxes Should Be As Easy As Ordering Pizza, Obama Says.

COLLATERAL DAMAGE: NBC somehow didn’t notice Billy Bush acting like a frat boy for fifteen years.

As Stephen Miller noted at Heat Street, NBC has a lot of explaining to do, particularly since this was a period in which the network and its subsidiaries went all-in to promote the party’s “War on Women” narrative while simultaneously paying Trump millions. As Glenn would say, that in mind when any of their anchors starts in on the “have you no shame, sir” sanctimony.

GREAT MOMENTS IN GASLIGHTING: Seriously? MSNBC: ‘No Proof’ of Collusion Between Media and Hillary.

Billy Bush could not be reached for comment. (Neither could George Stephanopoulos.)

JUST THINK OF THE MEDIA AS DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVES WITH BYLINES, AND IT ALL MAKES SENSE: “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd and his wife, a Democratic consultant, hosted a dinner party at their Washington D.C.-area home last year for Jennifer Palmieri, Hillary Clinton’s communications director.

Todd began his career working as a Democrat operative on the 1992 presidential campaign of “stolen valor” Congressman Tom Harkin; little has changed in that regard in his current job.

DAVID HARSANYI: The 5 Most Outrageous Hillary Clinton Lies From The Last Debate.

It couldn’t have been easy narrowing it down to five.

THE HILLARY CAMPAIGN IN A NUTSHELL: “It doesn’t matter what the legal and ethics people say, we need to win this mother***er.”

 IT’S NOT ABOUT THE EVIDENCE, IT’S ABOUT THE POLITICAL PROTECTION: Jill Stein On Wikileaks: How Much More Evidence Does Govt Need To Press Charges Against Hillary?

MOROCCAN GOVERNMENT ACCUSED OF ARBITRARY ARRESTS AND CORRUPTION: Huma on Hillary’s $12M Morocco fiasco: ‘She created this mess and she knows it’.

Arbitrary arrests, like jailing some schmuck for making a video “humiliating” the Prophet?  Corruption, like selling government favors for private profit?  THAT type of arbitrary arrests and corruption?

wrapping it up with more biggies:  Frankenstein.  1931.  James Whale.  Clive, Clarke, Karloff.  I had it too high so I've dropped it.  STILL 9.8 out of 10.

and the other classic?  The Exorcist. GOTTA be on every top 10 horror list.  We'll keep it at 9.7.

A VERY pleasant surprise ..... the re-boot of Friday the 13th!  Good camera work.  Decent color.  Lot's of well-presented eye candy.  Lens flares.  Story-line is an amalgam ofthe first original three.  And Amanda Righetti who I LOVED in The Mentalist.  I'll start off with a 66.6 out of 100.
