I am disappointed that Event Horrizon was not on this list.
When the dude pulls his eyes out and yells "DO YOU SEE!?"
Two types of people in the world... those that have seen EH in the theatre and those that haven't. If you did - you didn't sleep for a week afterwards.
If you saw it on DVD... the darkness was contained and safe in your TV box... you just don't know.

Saw it in the theatre. The craziest thing in the movie barring the tearing out of the ole eyeballs was when [can't remember her name] fell and broke the hell out of her leg. That still creeps me out.

Oh yeah... and when the boy was running through the ship and lead his Momma to fall of that catwalk thing. Creepy.

I got to see it in the theater and was creeped the freak out. I was excited to finally see it on DVD, but when I watched it at home, it just wasn't the same. You can still see a little of it, but not the whole experience. The sets in that movie were insane. For me, the hard science mixed with the supernatural added a whole new level of creepiness.

I remember, like 3 days after seeing it... I was asleep in my bed. My wife walks into the room... and for some reason, from a dead sleep, I panicked like a shocked stray cat and tried to climb up the wall and out the window backwards.
THAT is what the full power and an armed and operational EVENT HORIZON can do to you.

No disrespect intended, but I didn't think Event Horizon was all that.  I had some good creepy moments, to be sure, but I guess I didn't "get it".  (And I LOVED good sci-fi back 25 years ago).  I did like the moment in EH where they're figuring out what happened and Sam Neil comes back and they ask him if he went to hell.  "Hell is just an idea.  The REALITY... is MUCH worse!" with screaming and tearing noises in the background.  Buwahaha.

Good thing you didn't awake and start shooting...

I locked my guns up at night just for that reason...

Event Horizon does stand out in my mind, and it really does pale in comparison on DVD.

Another good flick is "Sunshine"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_(2007_film)

I'd consider Event Horizon to be it's spiritual parent in many ways.

I'll have to look into that one... sounds good.

Sunshine had a complete dream cast. The dude from 28Days later/scarcrow. The chick from 28 Weeks later. The crazy samurai guy from Last Samurai/Ringu/ Twilight Samurai. Michele Yoh, Johny Storm from Fantastic Four...okay, maybe not, but all the actors were awesome. It was a very well done film. Sci-fi done seriously.

Chris Evans was the best Johnny Storm I could have hoped for.

Hell. He made me like Johnny. But he played Johnny's annoying quirks, and still kept him likeable.

Alba and the guy who played Doom... not so much.

you got a point with that, I did like Johnny Storm and he was good in Sunshine. Alba, though hot, would not have been my choice for Sue Storm by any means. Mr. Fantastic wouldn't be cool no matter who you got to play him. Now Downey Jr. was a perfect Tony Stark.

Really, no one else could have done it as well... and if anyone else had tried, Iron Man wouldn't been nearly as good. Downey MADE Iron Man.

Marvel's had some perfect casting luck -

Downey as Stark
Evans as Johnny Storm.
Chiklis as the Thing
Kelsey Grammar as the Beast (the reason why X3 is a must buy for me, forget the rest of the lameness)
Alan Cummings as Nightcrawler

They seriously need to recruit Grammar for the 2010 Avengers movie.

I thought Chiklis was perfect for the thing I just wish he'd looked more real instead of an orange stay pufft marshmallow thing.

Downey was great as Stark.
Hugh Jackman is Wolverine/Logan.
Even liked Ed Norton as The Hulk.
Very interested in Cap and Thor. I just hope they don't choose the gay brit for Cap.

As to Kelsey Grammar as the Beast... eh. The beast was always one of my favorite XMen and grammar just didn't do it for me.

I'm rather stoked for Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and I think Liev Schreiber as Sabertooth is going to push Hugh Jackman to up his game (which I believe/know he can).

As to Marvels casting luck I also would ad Ray Stevenson as The Punisher (to see how much this is going to rock check out the music video montage of violence for the new movie). This is the action movie for the winter.
