I have already backed these films, but I think I am going to write specific defenses for the three films that I think should be added to the list:
28 Days Later: This is a great zombie (I realize that they are a virus and not true zombies, but for all intents and purposes they are zombies) film from the United Kingdom. Honestly, I am surprised that this film has not made it. What is great about the film is its realism. Everything about this film seems real: the settings, the characters, etc. On that note, there was some excellent performances and brilliant character development. When characters die, you really feel for them. Another brilliant aspect of this film is that it is more about the people than the zombies, which is what I love about it. Zombies actually do not have as much on screen time as you would think they should. This film delves into the question of human nature without directly saying it. An all-around excellent film. No top list would be complete without this film.
Frailty This was an excellent, if overlooked, film from the 2000s. It follows a family in the rural area, whose head (the Father) is supposedly getting a list from God of the people who are really demons and he must kill them. There are some brilliant performances here, especially Paxton (who directed the film) and McConaughey. The story is captivating and the atmosphere is perfect. You never really know what to believe throughout this film. Is this guy crazy or is he telling the truth? Anyway, an all-around excellent movie, although, unfortunately, often overlooked.
May This is a very interesting, if weird film from 2002. The film follows a woman named May, who works at a veterinary hospital and is very strange. I will not go into specifics, in case anyone has not seen it, but it is an excellent film. You really feel for the main character, as things go on. Eventually leading to a big twist, which is when the film gets weirder (and really gory). This film is well-acted, well-directed, and the story is very strange and captivating. I do believe that many have overlooked this film, especially when it came out, which is unfortunate because it is actually one of the best of the previous decade.
Anyway, these are the three films that I think should be added to the final list. You may disagree, but I thought I would at least provide a defense for why I believe they should be added.
