Horror, when done well, is probably my favorite genre of film. Wide swathes of horror films and subgenres are often derided as "low-brow" by critics, while in fact, horror films that are intelligent and meticulously made aren't actually that uncommon.. Of course, acting, scripts and plotting all vary wildly across the genre, but there are definite highlights and standouts in this regard. In all honesty, in the end, I can't precisely pinpoint why horror is important and cathartic for me. Maybe being scared makes me feel alive, and that's something. Feelings of disquiet are an essential part of being human. There's still a ton I need to explore, especially older horror movies, so I'd love suggestions! Here are my favorites. 50. Spring  ||  Dir. Justin Benson / Aaron Moorhead  ||  2014  ||  Romance, Low Fantasy, Body Horror  ||  8/10 49. The Cabin in the Woods  ||  Dir. Drew Goddard  ||  2011  ||  Sup...

Cosmic horror is probably my favorite horror subgenre. It relies heavily on the morbid and terrifying unknown. Often characters descend into madness as the unthinkable horrors of an uncaring universe move about them (and us). This list is of my favorites in the genre. Let me know if there are any you like that aren't present; it's an underrated genre with relatively scarce examples. 25. The Whisperer in Darkness  ||  Dir.

Villain songs are often among the best parts of a film...everyone loves to hate, and it can be such fun! Disney, naturally, has some of the best of the best.  Below are the Disney villain songs that appear in my consciousness the most, ranked on a tier list. S-Tier is godly, A is approaching perfection, B is very good and could listen almost any time, C is relatively good and might listen every once in a while, D I probably won't go out of my way to seek, E is downright bad, and F (which is thankfully unpopulated at this moment) is the most repulsive shit I've ever heard. (Playlist at the bottom) By all means, share your own favorites in the comments. Cheers! S-Tier: Be Prepared from The Lion King; Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame; Kidnap the Sandy Claws from The Nightmare Before Christmas A-Tier: Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid; My Lullaby from The Lion King II B-Tier: Mother Knows Best from Tangled; Prince Ali (Reprise) from Aladdin;  Gaston  fro...

Ok, ok, this is a music blog, I know. I thought it might be fun to share my favorite movies as an "off-topic" post. While I do listen to far more music than I watch t.v. or movies, there are films I consider incredibly important to me on a personal level. You'll notice a definite trend in which kinds of films I'm into; I apologize for nothing. Comment below on what movies are your favorites. Hope you enjoy the list! 100.  Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)  ||  Dir.
