It’s fantastic to see The Godfather continue to elicit such affection from movie lovers 45 years after release.

I’m obviously totally biased, but I don’t think that any Lord of the Rings movies deserve to be in the top ten. But that’s just me and I guess there are many factors that constitute a ‘great’ movie, including the acting, budget, worldwide success etc.

Those are all great films, but I’m a lover of horror and psychological thrillers. If you’re with me, then you’ll appreciate this list of the top five films on incest. It’ll make your skin crawl.
