Willard (1971)

Introvert young man finds a kindred spirit in rats in this classic ‘70s horror film. It’s your typical boy-meets-rat-and-trains-it-to-attack-people story. When a girl becomes involved, Willard decides he needs to break clean, and the vermin turn against him. Not a very good film, but it has cult appeal…however, in this rare case, I think the remake did a better job of telling this sordid little tale.

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

“Alone…bad. Friend…good!”

Forget The Empire Strikes Back or The Godfather Part II…this is still the greatest sequel ever made. Picks up right at the end of the original, where both creator and creation are given a new lease on life. The Monster is much more developed this time around; he's refined and articulate and actually given a conscience and his first words. I love how at the end, even the bride rejects him. Poor fucking monster.
“I love dead…hate living.”
