This extensive guide is replete with over 1000 entries, featuring choice cuts from every sub-genre imaginable in a movie jungle teeming with classics and lesser-known items of interest.

So, if you're an unrepentant cinematic sinner, why not take the plunge and visit the Seven Circles of Movie Hell.
