The Guardian ranked the best severed hands in film history, but we all know who tops the list – The A.V. Club

This week sees the release of French animated film, I Lost My Body, which tells a surprisingly endearing tale of a shy, lovelorn carpenters apprentice pursuing his bosss cute niece. Oh, and we almost forgottheres also a severed hands epic journey to reunite with its owner after it escapes a medical lab. Although promoting a film that sounds like it was co-written by someone like the author of Amlie(because it was, in fact, co-written by the author of Amlie) might seem a bit difficult at first, the macabre, creative folks at The Guardian have managed to find a way by releasing a comprehensive countdown of the best, uh, severed hands in cinematic history.

Of course, there are a few caveats to consider with such a list. After all, what kind of dismemberment are we talking about here? The list narrowed its scope down to the best reanimated/possessed/zombified appendages, which still leaves room for quite a few entries. They include the five-digit wonders featured in Idle Hands, The Addams Family, and a Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee outing called Dr. Terrors House of Horrors, which is extremely on brand for a Hammer Films title. But, of course, we allknow who reigns supreme in this gore-soaked thumb wrestling contest: The Guardians number one endorsement goes to none other than Bruce Campbells deadite-infected hand from Evil Dead II. Hail to the king, baby.

Those curious if I Lost My Body deserves to be added to the list can check the films original French version out on Netflix tomorrow, with an English dub featuring Dev Patel and Alia Shawkat coming on November 29.
