Jacob's Ladder seems to be one of those films you either love or you hate. I didn't get it when I watched it as a child, but a few years ago it was mentioned on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movies and I gave it a shot and I really enjoyed it. There was something really interesting about the way the breakdown of reality was shown. i'd never seen hallucinations handled that way before and Tim Robbins played off them well.
Audition was too difficult to get through. I gave it the old college try, but yeesh.
I still don't get the appeal of Carrie. The whole thing just seems like (no offense to those who enjoyed it) a shallow revenge story a teenage girl would write in response to being unpopular. But that's just me.
