15 Best Thai Horror Movies Of All Time, Ranked

2 weeks ago | slashfilm.com | Rob Hunter

The film industry in Thailand has been active since the 1920s, and the horror genre has been a part of it for most of that time. The genre saw its biggest rise, though, as part of the Asian horror boom of the early 2000s. While Japanese horrors like "Ringu" (which inspired "The Ring" franchise in the U.S.) and "Dark Water" are among the country's best horror films, Thailand made waves with the release of 2004's "Shutter." The genre has stayed a constant ever since.
12 Best Steve McQueen Movies, Ranked - SlashFilm

2 weeks ago | slashfilm.com | Rob Hunter

When it comes to the biggest big screen stars of the 1960s and 1970s, even a short list would have to include Steve McQueen. He's rarely mentioned in the same acting league as contemporaries like Paul Newman and Robert Redford, but his early death in 1980 at just 50 years old is arguably the biggest reason for that.
12 Best Jason Bateman Movies & TV Shows, Ranked

3 weeks ago | slashfilm.com | Rob Hunter

As a child actor in the 1980s, Jason Bateman showed a lot of promise before mostly dropping out of sight for several years. But thanks to Ron Howard's guidance and his memorable run on "Arrested Development," Bateman revived his career, and he has since remained a steady presence on-screen.
Every Leprechaun Movie, Ranked Worst To Best

Holiday themed horror films occupy a special place in the genre. While too many horror movies are released and forgotten, ones tied to annual holidays find themselves back in the conversation each and every year. John Carpenter's "Halloween" is obviously the king of this particular hill, both in how strongly its tied to the day and in the breadth of its franchise, but there are numerous others occupying the calendar year.
Christopher Lee's Dracula Movies, Ranked - SlashFilm

The late Christopher Lee was a compelling character actor and a genre icon whose career saw him land parts in numerous pop culture favorites throughout his more than two hundred film roles. He's Saruman in "The Lord of the Rings" films, he's Count Dooku in the "Star Wars" universe, and he stars in sequels to films like "Gremlins," "Police Academy," "The Howling," and more.
12 Best Jason Statham Movies, Ranked - SlashFilm

1 month ago | slashfilm.com | Rob Hunter

Ranking any performer's filmography comes with the need for at least some clarification, and that's especially true when it comes to action stars. Are they being ranked on the performance, the amazing action they deliver, or on the quality of the film as a whole? Are all films eligible or just the ones where the performer has a lead role? Does more action automatically land a film higher on the list? Does the person doing the ranking have impeccable taste when it comes to action cinema?
15 Best Dog Movies Of All Time, Ranked - SlashFilm

1 month ago | slashfilm.com | Rob Hunter

A dog is a man's best friend, but do we really deserve them? It's a rhetorical question. Of course we don't deserve dogs, cats, geckos, or any other animal you can think of — just look at the state of the world we're giving them! Let's forget about that for now, though, and simply appreciate the joy that our canine friends bring, both in the real world and on the screen. They're our companions, guards, workers, friends, and occasional arbiters of our own demise, and we love them for it.
10 Best Jet Li Movies, Ranked - SlashFilm

2 months ago | slashfilm.com | Rob Hunter

This might surprise you, but Jet Li's Western films — ones shot primarily in English — have grossed basically the same amount as Jackie Chan's (not counting Chan's voiceover work in animated films). Each of them have brought in just over two billion dollars with their English-language releases, but the odds are pretty good that regular moviegoers will recognize Chan far more often than they do Li. Why?
15 Best Chuck Norris Movies & TV Shows, Ranked

2 months ago | slashfilm.com | Rob Hunter

Legend has it that instead of a chin beneath Chuck Norris' beard, he's hiding a third foot waiting to hit you with a surprise roundhouse kick. Some of his older films prove that one false, but it might be true that when Norris does a push-up, it's the Earth that moves, not him. Who's to say, really? The point is that Norris went from real martial artist to actor, dominating big screens through the 1980s and the small screen throughout the '90s. Love him or hate him, he's an American original.
