A list of all found footage films. Mostly horror though a few other genres may come into it. Please let me know any suggestions. I hope everyone finds this list useful! Some really great movies on here.
You may find a few Documentary style movies too if they fit close to found footage.
The Found Footage/POV/Hand-Held/First Person sub-genre is a derisive one at best. FF flicks can be intense and terrifying, making you feel like you;'re actually watching real footage of real people being stalked, haunted, etc... and those are the good ones. Found Footage flicks can also be cheap, shoddy, predictable, and overly-familiar, which basically renders them useless as far as scares go. Those are the bad ones.
Below, we've tried to cull the absolute best "Footage" movies from the hundreds and hundreds that are out there, which was no easy feat. We tried our best to be objective about which movies made the list, and which ones didn't, but in the end, our personal tastes played more of a role here than they usually do when we make a Best of list.
There will no doubt be a few movies missing from this list that will make people cry foul; Grave Encounters and The Den are two good examples of popular FF flicks that many Horror fans loved, but did nothing for us. Sorry.
We've also included a few movies in our Honorable Mention section that might raise some eyebrows: End of Watch isn't Horror at all, and Sinister may have some great Found Footage in it, but is by no means a FF flick. They both do the FF thing extremely well however, and so here they are.
The Top Six for this list was a tough one to put together, mainly because a lot of the movies below could easily be at the top of the list. Each of the movies in The Top Six were included for specific reasons, but that doesn't mean that Home Movie or The Tunnel weren't as good. Rankings are a flexible thing, so take them as you will.
For the first 6 movies in the list:
If you're in the mood for a truly quality Found Footage Flick, any of the movies in our Top Six will do you right. For our money, Noroi and [REC] are probably the best (and most terrifying) of them, but then again they all bring their own unique and terrifying vision to the Found Footage Sub-Genre.
For the remaining:
Below are the rest of our 30 Best Found Footage Flicks, and of course, a few Honorable Mentions thrown in for good measure. Keep in mind that no "Best of" list is ever perfect, but merely a solid starting point for anyone looking to watch some great flicks.
The last 6 being "Honorable Mentions".

List of Horror movies that have either been recommended to me or I've heard about via horror lists
This is a list of good and influential Found Footage movies / Mockumentaries that I recommend to everyone who wants to check out the genre. Most of them are horror/thriller movies, because in my opinion they benefit the most from this style of shooting.
I didn't include "semi"-found footage films that were only partially shot with handheld/surveillance cameras or made to look like found footage (Chernobyl Diaries, The Fourth Kind, Behind the Mask, End of Watch, Wer, Into the Void, Banshee Chapter etc). I also didn't include sequels (except V/H/S 2), because the first ones are almost always the best.
Enjoy! :)
