Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)
Been one of my favourites since I first watched it a couple of years ago. I hadn't seen it in close to a year, and it's even better than I had remembered. I can think of very few films that have had such a lasting impression on me. From the very first scenes with the haunting score, and the beautiful (and menacing) scenery, to the haunting final scene, this film is captivating.
-10/10
Nosferatu, Phantom der Nacht (1979)
I might get a lot of shit for saying this, but I actually enjoyed this version more than the 1922 version (that's not to say I don't respect the original for everything it did for the genre, just that I was more captivated by this version). The entire film plays out like a terrible nightmare, and Kinski is completely terrifying in his portrayl of Count Dracula.
-9/10
