Since there are little more than a few great ones every ten years...

not necessarily the better film... just the better horror film.

Another "Land of the Dead" lover, huh? Such an underrated film. I agree with all these choices...nice work. I'm assuming by "Legion" you mean the de-facto "Exorcist" "sequel"?

correct... and just because land isn't romero's best doesn't mean it didnt kick the sh** out of all the other horror movies of the decade

Amen! I thought it completely put the thoroughly mediocre (in my opinion) remake of "Dawn" in the dirt!

Wow, 1960-69 sure leaves you spoiled for choice. Who would have thought that Psycho and Night of the Living Dead could come out of the same 10 years?
