Hands on a Hard Body (1998)
S.R. Bindler

An instant classic, low-budge documentary focusing on a small town truck dealership's annual contest with a brand new hard body pickup truck for the winner. The rules are simple: 25 locals stand continuously with at least one hand on the truck-- the last nut standing wins. The documentary preceded the realty-tv show craze and still surpasses them in sheer drama, character-depth, comedy, and sadness. Sadly, the contest was abruptly terminated last year when one of the contestants wandered off, during a break, to the neighboring Super K-Mart and opened fired on innocents before killing himself. (1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd.)

The Vanishing (1988)
George Sluizer

A man and his girlfriend on holiday stop at a gas station and the girlfriend disappears forever. After a few years of searching the man is still on the hunt to discover what exactly happened. As the movie progresses the kidnapper's story is unveiled and we see how he planned the event carefully over quite some time. Strangely the kidnapper seems to be a charmign famiy man. The ending of this movie is seriously one of the creepiest things ever. (1st, 1st, 1st.)

The Devil's Rain (1975)
Robert Fuest

Ida Lupino, Tom Skerritt, Eddie Albert, John Travolta, William Shatner, and Ernest Borgnine. “Technical advising” and cameo from Anton LaVey. Borgnine plays an ancient warlock who leads a cult of trapped souls (with no eyes, natch!) in the middle of nowhere. He wants an evil book that has been protected by Bill Shatner’s family since the Puritans (which we see in vivid flashbacks, natch!). It’s a battle to the death between these two overacting legends. Borgnine turns into a devil-goat-man, and then melllllllllllts…… slowly…… into a fiery pit…….. The VHS box boasts: “The best ending to a movie… EVER!!!!” and nothing has ever been truer: ten minutes of melting faces and moaning under the Devil’s Rain. (1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd)

Gas Light (1944)
George Cukor

A young, newlywed (Ingrid Bergman) is barraged by strange occurances in her murdered aunt's house that she has just moved back into after being away for ten years. As the woman tries to figure out the mysteries of the house, those around her accuse her of losing her mind. This very hitchockian film (is she going crazy? Is her husband conspiring against her?) also stars Angela Lansbury in one of her first roles. (1st, 1st, 1st, 3rd.)
