I love horror movies but I’m very particular about which ones I like. They need to be entertainingly scary. I don’t want to watch too much gross out gore, humiliation or generally emotionally scarring things. I also prefer some kind of supernatural element, I tend to find straightforward slasher movies a bit boring.
These are some of my favourite horror movies. It’s not a definitive list, just the ones on the top of my mind at the moment.

Ziegfeld Follies is one of my favourite movies, and one of the most opulent technicolor musicals of the 40s. The “story” is that Ziegfeld is putting on one last Follies from heaven, and the entire movie is just a cavalcade of amazing show numbers with absolutely no plot. The comedy skits don’t interest me (except “Number Please” which is pretty funny) but the rest is heavenly.

I’ve known for a while that Debbie Reynolds was going to auction off her huge collection of Hollywood costumes and memorabilia, but now there’s a catalog! It’s absolutely amazing and contains some of the most famous costumes of all time, and it’s free to download.
Also in the catalog you can read about an upcoming exhibition at the V&A, Style and Seduction: The Art of Hollywood Costume Design, which will hopefully feature some of the costumes from the catalog. It will start October 20, 2012, and I’ll definitely be there!

I recently found Filmarkivet through Miriam’s blog. It’s an online database of Swedish short films, commercials and other shorter film clips. Most of the films are in Swedish of course, but the website is available in English. Above is Anita Ekberg visiting her family in Sweden, among other news clips (click the picture to see the film). Below are a few more of my favourites.

The Dolly Sisters is probably in the top three most beautiful movies I have seen. The story isn’t really anything special but it’s perfectly over the top glamorous with fantastic show numbers. My favourite part of the movie is the “vanity case” number, probably one of the most beautiful things ever. You can watch the scene on Youtube actually.
