Added Walter Lord's A Night to Remember to 1955, where it beats out a couple of horror stories for the top spot.

Added William Friedkin's Rampage to 1987, which doesn't really help this bad year (so far) get any better.
Added Kaufman's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers to 1978. At two-and-a-half stars it has no business leading a pack of four, but at the moment it is.
Added Seven to 1995, then had to add an extra half star because, bad as it is, it isn't as bad as its only competition, The Maddening.
Created 1897 for Dracula, where that excellent book will no doubt reign supreme for a very long time.
Yvette Vickers, photographed by none other than Russ Meyer of later sexploitation fame, became Playboy's Playmate of the Month for July 1959. Her film career never took off, but her unusual death brought her back into the news. On April 27, 2011, a neighbor, noticing yellowing envelopes in Vickers' mailbox, entered her Los Angeles home and discovered Vickers' mummified body in an upstairs room, where it had lain undisturbed for up to a year. "We've all been crying about this," the neighbor said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "Nobody should be left alone like that."
Added Attack of the 50 Foot Woman to 1958, but not even a five-storey Allison Hayes can topple Vertigo. The film does beat another Nathan H. Juran-directed picture for that year, however -- The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Before After Hyundai UK advertisement for the i20 supermini from 2015
