Hi Elisa,
Nah, horror is my least favorite kind of movie hence I only saw "Saw" in splotches. Jim wanted to see it.. I watched maybe about the first 15 minutes of it then ran upstairs and stayed there till towards the end of the movie.

I also didn't like "Basic Instinct" too much. I think Sharon Stone is highly overrated as an actress though I did like her in "Casino".

My favorite of all these movies are "The Sixth Sense" & "The Usual Suspect". Another good movie that is not on this list is called "Momento". Watch it if you can
