I loved In the Mouth of Madness, I should watch it again some time soon

Nice to see it at number one, he was also good in Possession, just a little further down the list. It's tragic he will be mostly remembered for Jurassic Park over his kickass horror career.

Man, I first saw Neil in either Dead Calm or The Hunt for Red October. He has such a great on screen presence and I always forgot how many great movies he has been in.

Good list. I would have put Sweet Country higher. Incredible movie and he was great in it. Bit of a hard watch at times though.

No Dean Spanley? Not a good list.
