Never heard of this one, is it any good? :-)

My favorite title would have to be "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".  What a
title!  What a concept!  What a MOVIE! :-)  (I did like it!)

Also, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was a great title as a draw.

Come to think of it, titles are probably a movies main draw, so it stands to
reason that they must work pretty hard on them, trying to make them
attractive to an audience.  I can think of a LOT of titles of the top of my
head that definitely piqued my interest when I heard them.  Basic Instinct,
Total Recall...there's lots.

Actually, _The Hot Spot_ was directed by Dennis Hopper.  A good film,
perhaps somewhat Lynchian, but I found it much more grounded in reality.

Very tough question.  I haven't seen too many really good scary
movies.  But I have a few suggestions...

Try some Polanski flicks: THE TENANT was pretty frightening to me.  My
friend Hugh insists that REPULSION is scary but I'm not as impressed with
that one.  Seeing these in the theater makes a big difference.  (Avoid
ROSEMARY'S BABY -- stupid and not scary -- but that's just MHO...)

There's always Dario Argento: SUSPIRIA is pretty frightening, especially
in the theater with good print and sound!  If you must resort to video,
try to watch the laserdisc which is letterboxed and looks nice.  Many of
his other films are worth investigating (PHENOMENA, PROFONDO ROSSO, OPERA,
INFERNO, etc.) -- but unfortunately they are very difficult to get on
video in the US in anything resembling decent form.

Other random thoughts: PSYCHO might have been scary when it came out
(people who saw it then tell me it was quite shocking).  But now everyone
knows all the spoilers, and the cinematic excesses of modern horror films
probably lessens some of its impact too.

Some more "mainstream" suggestions: THE TERMINATOR (not the sequel),
ALIEN (not the sequels), EVIL DEAD (not the sequel), blah blah blah.

I guess I'm not saying anything really new here, but what about "The Silence of
the Lambs"? That was one of the most scary movies I've ever seen, especially since
I saw it in the week of its release in the US, not at all knowing what was waiting
for me. I admit it's no horror movie, although many people think so, but it's full
of tension.
Another movie that gave me the creeps was "Body Double" - it's really not as bad
as everybody says. That was several years ago, though, when I was about 16.
Finally, "Aliens" (the second part) is on my list. Regrettably, I've never seen
the first one in a theater, so I can't tell about that one, but James Cameron's
flick sure was effective on the big screen.

Hey, the Loews trailer, for one, is pretty cool, I think.  For some
reason the audiences always seem to enjoy it, just because it's so
upbeat.

Definitely prefer it to the UA trailer.  Especially from a
projectionists standpoint.  Gives you sound from the beginning, so you
don't have to wait 3 seconds to make sure the sound is ok.

       Above The Law -  A promising movie

       Then there was "Hard To Kill" and "Marked For Death".

       <shrug>  eehhhh.  disappointing.

       Then, the Terminator of my hope in Steven Seagal,
                        "Out For Justice".

       Now he's back with "Under Siege".

       Now THIS is the movie I was expecting after "Above The Law".
       Seagal has revived my faith.  Sure, it's got some cliches, etc.
       It's got the token woman.  It's got the token bad guys.

       But it held my interest.  The beginning was just right.  Just
   when you're questioning what you *think* should be happening...

       Tommy Lee Jones is outstanding as a would-be Sixties revolutionary
   turned mercenary skittering along the cliff of sanity.  Hilarious at
   times, disheartening at others.  Right on the edge of ham.
