Scariest: The Haunting (1963) – saw it on TV as a teenager and scared me to death - possibly may not have the same effect now!

Funniest: Life of Brian with Monty Python and the Holy Grail a close second.

Saddest: Sophie’s Choice

Weirdest: The Lobster

Worst: Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Also Phone Booth, The Lobster and Waterworld

Saddest - Wild with Reese Witherspoon - I was sobbing.

Weirdest is A Field In England. I enjoyed it, but it was deeply odd.

I'd forgotten The Descent. It came on TV late one night and OH and I thought we'd give it a go, not knowing anything about it, the beginning is quite benign and then it scared the pants off us all the way through, but not in a good way!

Killer Clowns From Out Of Space sounds so bad it might be good/funny! I'll take @bingoringo4's word for it though
