1970's - Deliverance
1980's - Bad Boys
1990's - What About Bob?

That Lon Chaney version of the Phantom had the scariest makeup of all horror movies and that was almost 90 years ago.

Charles, that is a great list you have there. And I think Rope, at the time, had quite possibly the best camerawork in a film.

Anyways, my picks
