The Haunting (1963)
Harris plays Eleanor Lance, a young woman who is invited by a scientist named Doctor Markway to stay as a guest in a creepy mansion called Hill House. Along with two other people, Eleanor is invited to the house as an experiment the doctor is conducting to prove that supernatural powers exist within the walls of Hill House. Not long after they begin their stay do they realize the evil that is with them in the house, as Eleanor begins to think that it wants her there. Eerie and chilling, Julie Harris is sensational. Adapted from the novel The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Starring Julie Harris, Russ Tamblyn, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson 7/10 Rated G

The Virgin Suicides (1999)
This is the story of the Lisbon sisters; Lux, Cecilia, Bonnie, Therese, and Mary, who reside in Michigan in a nice suburban neighborhood. Four boys who live near them become obsessed with the girls in the summer of 1974. When their youngest sister Cecilia takes her own life, the boys start to collect souvenirs of them as they learn about the girls' lives. When Lux gets in trouble after coming home late one night, she and the other girls are taken out of school and isolated from everything and everybody, except for the four boys whom they secretly contact. Emotionally tragic and haunting film, based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides and wonderfully directed by Sofia Coppola. Starring Kirsten Dunst, Josh Hartnett, James Woods, Kathleen Turner, Scott Glenn, Danny Devito, A.J. Cook 8/10 Rated R
