Thanks, Sculpt.

Our home is on an elevation, so no water has entered yet (although it rolls about around our gates). The road in front is completely submerged though. We are traveling around when the rains thin out - my daughter's school, my job, domestic runs - we are managing all of it.

We are used to all this by now. This place gets very heavy rains during this season every year.

AHHHH Susperia, but Hellraiser holds my heart. 87 all the way. But I think that was the hardest one yet.

I ruin everything.

It wasn't a very difficult choice for me. I probably shouldn't say this to a guy with your avatar, but I consider Hellraiser a good movie, not a great movie. The same for Evil Dead 2, although I do enjoy that one a hell of a lot.
Now, I do love Opera, Monster Squad, Near Dark and The Lost Boys, but they don't resonate with me the way some of those titles from 77 do. Suspiria, The Hills Have Eyes, Rabid, Kingdom Of The Spiders, Hausu,..all among the most rewatchable films of their era.

Same dilemma, but Hills Have Eyes instead of Susperia. In the end Evil Dead 2 helps pull 87 ahead, but that was not easy.
