A list of titles based on, inspired by, or with echoes of H.P. Lovecraft's works. Adaptations as well as Lovecraftian works in chronological order. The list is a constant work in progress as I'm adding new titles and notes regularly. 

I've also started adding a score from 1-5 to the films I've watched, 5 points being the most Lovecraftian in my humble opinion (mostly direct adaptations). The HPLP (Howard Phillips Lovecraft Points) rating has nothing to do with the quality or enjoyment factor of the films, just the amount of 'Lovecraft' I experienced and found in them. Anthologies and series are purely rated on the segments and episodes noted in the commentaries. And again, it's just what I got out of the works. Also a work in progress, some titles I have yet to see, others I should rewatch through a Lovecraftian lens I guess, before adding a score. Use the 'detailed view' to see the scores and explanations.

H.P. Lovecraft in Film and Series - The Lovecraftian Movie List

Angels & Demons (Angel horror movies). 

“When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.”

“Even now in Heaven there are angels carrying savage weapons."

Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, Eric Bogosian, Julianne Nicholson, and Chris Noth in Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001)

This is a random list of films, documentaries, tv shows, sporting events, etc., all of which were released between CE 1900-1999, that I am to watch at some, yet to be determined, point in the future. Once an item on this list has been seen by myself, it will be removed and will feature in my watched and rating lists.

20th Century Film & Television (To Watch)

Robert De Niro, Lillo Brancato, and Chazz Palminteri in A Bronx Tale (1993)

My list of movie-saves, some from 50's but mostly 60's & up that wish were available as dvd release but sadly are not... or once were and went out of print. We especially enjoy the 70's 'suspicion & suspense', 'teen trauma', and 'tragic but true' made for tv movies that started airing in the 70's as a 'movie of the week'. 

The ABC Movie of the Week and others that followed brought us some of the best... casts of wonderful actors we'd often only seen on the big screen, now in our homes... and these TvMs always had something going on that sucked you in and kept you watching :)

When Looking at my lists please note there is a "Sort By" option, I prefer to look at titles by release date, earliest to latest... but can choose other options to view by using the Sort By option ;)

William R. Moses, Michelle Stafford, and Dani Kind in Like Mother, Like Daughter (2007)

Teri Hatcher, Charlize Theron, James Spader, Eric Stoltz, Danny Aiello, and Jeff Daniels in 2 Days in the Valley (1996)

Movies on this list might be good, bad, terrible, or middling.  But none are great (or, if they have some greatness in them, they also have some issues or problematic elements that offset said greatness).  This list is mainly a reminder that I watched these once and don’t need to watch any of them a second time.

Movies originally made for television that I'd like to see.
