- DirectorJamie BlanksStarsJared LetoAlicia WittRebecca GayheartA college student suspects a series of bizarre deaths are connected to certain urban legends.at one point i considered this like number 2 on my list...i'm older now and realize its not worthy of number 2.... but it is still one of my all time favorite horror movies, love the concept.
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsMel GibsonHeath LedgerJoely RichardsonPeaceful farmer Benjamin Martin is driven to lead the Colonial Militia during the American Revolution when a sadistic British officer murders his son.not a movie that i can just watch over and over again. but dam, this movie is just awesome. i think mel gibsons best performance...but thats just me.
