9. Cronos (1993) and 8. Thirst (2009)

For the next part of the countdown, I feel like I have to talk about two films together. The films themselves are fairly different, but their contexts are strangely similar. They are both non-American "foreign" films. They both have titles consisting of only a single word. They are both intriguing and bizarre. And both are "pretty good" films by otherwise well known and visionary directors.

 

10. Blacula (1972)

I did not plan on reviewing the most notorious blaxploitation vampire film during the same week as the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech and the march on Washington... but, well, I guess here we are. This is Blacula.
