Honestly, while horror is, to me, a very nebulous genre, here are a few of my favourites:
I suppose that some may dispute the place some of these films on the list; some might not register as horror. But I stand by them nonetheless. Except for the last one. That was just a joke.
- The Haunting (1963 version, naturally)
- The Shining
- Shyamalan's (admittedly few) good films (read: Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, The Visit, and [an honorary place due largely to a brief scene with Bryce Dallas Howard awakening my foot fetish] The Village)
- The Evil Dead Trilogy
- The Wicker Man (1973 version)
- Silence of the Lambs
- Manhunter
- Red Dragon
- Practically ANY German Expressionist classic
- Natural Born Killers
- Black Swan
- Repulsion
- Let the Right One In
- Rosemary's Baby (No, I haven't seen the remake)
- Where the Dead go to Die
- Dawn of the Dead (Either one, really)
- Shaun of the Dead
- Donnie Darko
- Kalifornia
- Day of the Locust
- 28 Days Later
- Any film by Cronenberg or del Toro
- American Psycho
- Yentl.
