Ben Wheatley (of Kill List fame): Come and See at # 1 , very true and definitely more horrifying than any film in the "horror" genre. Also great to see Guillermo Del Toro giving props to Zulawski's criminally underrated Possession at #2.

In-no-way-hostile correction: Corman didn't direct Flesh For Frankenstein, Paul Morrissey did. Maybe you're thinking of Frankenstein Unbound.
