Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987)
Director: Sam Raimi
Besides being a completely kick-ass bubblegum horror film, it's like the ultimate kind of Looney Tunes cartoon gone badly wrong. [Raimi] becoming one of the biggest directors in the world is the vindication of people who watched this film in the '80s and said: This guy's really good. Usually horror films are about people being picked off. But Evil Dead 2 is about one person being picked on. It's like watching an 80-minute assault on [star] Bruce Campbell, and it was one of the funniest movies I'd ever seen. Along with Airplane! and This Is Spinal Tap, this must be one of my most-watched films of all time.
