The 100 Scariest Movie Moments

I may not have agreed with the placing of each film (the final five could do with some switching around), but by and large I had no complaints about the rankings and enjoyed seeing many older movies and a few good lost-in-the-shuffle films featured. Several of the films were those not generally considered horror per se, and it was nice to see them included.

Many of the commentators had insightful, interesting or just plain entertaining observations. It's rare that a show such as this is devoid of particularly annoying participants, but everyone here was fun and lively. If Bravo decides to give this special another run this upcoming Halloween season, I'd certainly recommend catching it.

Whats better then a scary movie with scary scenes and people making some of the funniest comments? A list of 100 scary movies with the 100 scariest movie moments of all time with the coolest people commenting on them! I really want to know if there's a way to own this on DVD, i love watching this every time it comes on, it introduced me to so many scary movies that i had yet to hear about that i want to see, and the stuff they show in it is unbelievably spectacular. And the people interviewed through out the whole thing are so funny and cool. Plus if it wasn't for this movie i probably wouldn't have gotten hooked on my newly found favorite horror movie of all time, George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead. Haha to be honest though the scene they showed from Dawn Of The Dead i found to be quite hilarious. but yeah it's so much fun watching this thing. So please if anyone knows where to get this on DVD, let me know!

100 scary moments from 100 movies, and not all of the movies featured are from the horror genre. This is an incredibly well done, informative and often very funny countdown show, featuring some very frightening moments from the scariest and most disturbing movies ever made.

Not content to stick with the mainstream scares of Freddy, Jason and Michael (although they are all to be found here as well!), "100 Scariest Movie Moments" also brings us images from forgotten, neglected and such controversial films as "Deliverance", Fulci's "The Beyond", the harrowing Dutch film "Spoorloos" and even such family fare as "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Wizard of Oz" - neither of which are films typically thought of as being scary but which contain some seriously disturbing imagery nevertheless! The show doesn't flinch either as it shows us eyeballs pierced in "Zombi", the nauseating disemboweling scene from "The Last House on the Left" and some naked butt from the transformation scene in "An American Werewolf in London."

The commentary is fascinating as well. Rob Riggle and Rob Huebel provide some of the best comedic moments as they enthusiastically comment on and re-enact scenes from "Psycho", "Blue Velvet" and "Jurassic Park." Interesting facts and fascinating memories are provided by the filmmakers themselves and longtime fans offer amusing recollections, recalling exactly how scared they were upon viewing the scene in question the first time.

All in all, "100 Scariest Movie Moments" is a bit like sitting around with your geeky horror fan friends and enthusiastically comparing notes as you run screaming down memory lane. Some horror fans will undoubtedly be disappointed and screaming "Foul!" with the revelation of #1, but one must remember that this isn't a countdown confined strictly to the horror genre. Okay, I admit - I agree that #3 and #1 should have switched places, but it's a small gripe. The show is incredibly entertaining. It is by turns funny, nauseating and intelligent.

Be warned: this show clocks in at around 5 hours, and it's very addictive. Make sure you have the time to sit in front of your TV, or else have a blank tape handy. Once you start watching it, you won't want to stop.

It was Halloween when I watched this, and I was psyched with my popcorn and overly-caffeinated soda on the sofa. I was looking forward to seeing some really scary movie moments, and I loved the first part of the show, but after realizing how long the show was I just watched it out of obligation to see the final pick.

I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning, and at this point we're to about number five or so, where I see "The Exorcist", which in my mind is *the* scariest, so I figure that there must be some horrifying movie at number one.

Jaws… A movie about a shark… Look, if you're that afraid of a shark than you should stay away from the water. It's not a movie that haunts you at night, unless you live on a boat, or in the middle of the Atlantic!

It's amazing that something this smart/insightful can be so much fun. The producers took a gaggle of talking heads and had them comment on a clip filled countdown of scary/suspenseful movie moments — in everything from horror/SF movies to things like Wait Until Dark. (The full list is at Bravo.com.) Rerun a few times a year, it stays watchable even after you've seen bits and pieces of it already. (It's five hours.)

Basically it's like those VH1 music countdowns, and the fun is in the variety of who they picked to comment. These include big-name filmmakers and authors, offbeat fans like the Swedish Bikini Team (or the St. Pauli Girls or whoever the hell those blond twins are), and film experts such as my favorite, the ever-fabulous MAITLAND McDONAGH, whose books, such as "Filmmaking on the Fringe," "The 50 Most Erotic Films of All Time" and the definitive Dario Argento bio, "Broken Mirrors, Broken Minds," are damn good readin'.
