has natalie portman ever been in a decent movie besides the professional?

had to have a look at her imdb page to check as nothing memorable came to mind besides the professional

darjeeling limited
mars attacks
(both fairly small roles though...)

and i'm not sure how much i liked this movie, but she was super sultry sexy in it - closer. oh and i guess garden state, i've never seen it, but loads of people rate it...

It the clown continues to haunt my dreams on a rare occassion. There's nothing more frightening I've ever read or heard about than a creature that not only assumes your worst fears, but can't be detected by without said fears. AND he lives in the sewer. Nothing like listening for gurgling sounds in the drain and drawing the shower curtain open before you can use the toilet.

I like The Exorcist, from 1973. I thought the "unrated" version (with deleted scenes) was actually worse. The added scenes did nothing for the movie, in fact made it worse.

I'm not much for horror movies. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Nightmare on ES, or Friday the 13th.

"The last house on the left" the original from 1972 though. That was hard to get a hold of until just very recently.

The film had problems with censorship in many countries, and was particularly controversial in the United Kingdom. The film was refused a certificate for cinema release by the BBFC in 1974[3] due to scenes of sadism and violence. During the early 1980s home video boom, the film was released uncut (save for an incidental, gore-free scene with the comedy cops, and the end credit roll) as a video that did not fall under their remit at the time. This changed when the "video nasty" scare which started in 1982 led to the Video Recordings Act 1984. This in turn banned the film as one of the Department of Public Prosecutions list of "video nasties".

The film remained banned throughout the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s. However it had built a cult reputation in the UK, plus critics such as Mark Kermode began to laud the film as an important piece of work. In 2000, the film was again presented to the BBFC for certification and it was again refused[4], though it was granted a license for a one-off showing in Leicester in June 2000, after which the BBFC again declared that the film would not receive any form of certification.

In June 2002 the BBFC won against an appeal made to the Video Appeals Committee by video distributor Blue Underground Limited. The BBFC had required 16 seconds of cuts to scenes of sexual violence before the video could be given an ‘18’ certificate. Blue Underground Limited refused to make the cuts, and the BBFC therefore rejected the video. The distributor then appealed to the VAC, who upheld the BBFC's decision.[5] During the appeal, film critic Mark Kermode was called in as a horror expert to make a case for the film's historical importance. However, after his report, the committee not only upheld the cuts but doubled them[6].

The film was eventually given an 18 certificate with 31 seconds of cuts on July 17, 2002[7] and was released in the UK on DVD in May 2003. The cut scenes were viewable as a slideshow extra on the disc, and there was a weblink to a website where the cut scenes could be viewed.

The BBFC classified the film uncut for video release on March 17, 2008.

28 Days Later isnt a Horror. It is an amazing thriller/suspense though. Top 10 movie of decade

I definitely consider it a horror movie. You probably can't classify it as strictly a horror movie since it also overlaps with the suspense and thriller genres, but much like the descent, it's the overlapping genres and deeper themes that make the movie stand apart from you're typical slasher "Jason" or "Freddy" movie.

i said 'decent' not ' '

I thought it was pretty good.

I know it's not a horror movie but one of the freakiest things I've ever seen in a movie was Frank the bunny from Donnie Darko.
