	Re-Animator (Millenium Special Edition) (1985)
Probably the most famous Lovecraft movie, it's not a typically "Lovecraftian" story, but still loads of fun
	Dagon (2001)
Flawed but enjoyable movie version of The Shadow Over Innsmouth, relocated to Spain (There's also From Beyond, not on DVD at the moment)
	The Tower of London/The Haunted Palace (1963)			Not Rated
Though credited to Poe, the latter is an adaptation of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, haven't seen it yet
	Die, Monster, Die! (1965)			Not Rated
Based on "The Color Out of Space", I haven't seen this one yet either
	The Dunwich Horror (1970)
Fair-to-middling early 70s Lovecraft movie with a rather out-of-place Sandra Dee. Curtis Hanson contributed to the script
	The Evil Dead (1983)			Not Rated
Ok, maybe it's not THAT Lovecraftian other than having a Necronomicon, but I still wanted to include it
	In the Mouth of Madness (1994)
John Carpenter's valentine to Lovecraft
	Prince of Darkness (1987)
Another Carpenter film with a debt to the master, this disc is out of print at the moment unfortunately :(
	Uzumaki (2000)			Not Rated
Fun Lovecraft-influenced teen horror film from Japan, the manga it's based on is also worth a look
	Ringu (1998)			Not Rated
Another Japanese horror movie with a touch of Lovecraft, same goes for all the other versions of this story
	Dark City (1998)
Kinda-sorta Lovecraftian, wouldn't it be interesting if Proyas did an official Lovecraft movie?
