Twenty-four hours of films. Here are my preliminary notes, wrote in darkness and whilst I was quite, quite, quite sleep-deprived at the time.
The Secret Four – The “Citizen Kane” of film noir.
Zombieland – The “Citizen Kane” of zombie films.
Forbidden World – The “Citizen Kane” of mutametamorphic scifi horror.
Vice Squad – The “Citizen Kane” of a night with the Vice Squad.
Paranormal Activity – The “Citizen Kane” of “The Blair Witch Project.”
Maidens of Fetish Street – The “Citizen Kane” of Peep Shows.
Mill of the Stone Woman – The Flemish “Citizen Kane.”
Night Train to Terror – The “Citizen Kane” of portmanteau horror.
The Visitor – The “Citizen Kane” of films that should have been directed by Larry Cohen.
The Informant! – The “Citizen Kane” of Corn-related Conspiracy Thrillers.
Creature from Black Lake – The “Citizen Kane” of Bigfoot films.
Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf – The “Citizen Kane” of the Howling films featuring Christopher Lee.
Commando – The “Citizen Kane” of Alyssa Milano films.
See, every film a classic of its genre… Well, that’s how I remember it, anyway.

“Commando – The “Citizen Kane†of Alyssa Milano films.”
There’s a classic DVD sleeve review right there. Hope someone quotes you on that.
That would be great; it could go into my ‘Hall of Fame’ for things I’m most pleased with.
The missing link you need for the Citizen Kane of Peep Shows is:

It was indeed the citizen kane of movie marathons.
Noted and changed. I think ‘Night Train to Terror’ was my favourite. I did quite like the lo-fi FX and slow boil of ‘Paranormal Activity,’ although the lack of motivation for why it was happening means its not high on my ‘Want to rewatch’ list.
“Commando – The “Citizen Kane†of Alyssa Milano films.â€
Hmm. Not sure about that one; Wouldn’t “Embrace of the Vampire” be the Citizen Kane of Alyssa Milano movies? Or is that more like the “Battleship Potemkin” of Alyssa Milano movies?
I agree with your comment on “Embrace of the Vampire.”
