All time favorite is hands down the original Halloween - I'm a fan of the sequels, but I generally regard the first one as its own standalone movie (where it's just a terrifying force of evil stalking innocent babysitters and the killer's not actually hunting down family). The Haunting, Poltergeist, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Shining, Psycho, 28 Days/Weeks Later, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, The Ring (Japanese version), Carrie...you can't go wrong. Even the classic Universal monster movies are great (The Mummy, Frankenstein, Dracula...classics). I'll throw a more contemporary movie in and say I thought the Conjuring was really well done. A great horror movie is also a great social commentary since the truly scary ones are tapping into the fears of the culture at the time.

Love pretty much all of those as well. I would have most definitely included TCM since that's probably my favourite classic horror movie that isn't The Shining, but I was posting stuff blankmind might not have known about. I probably would've added on Re-Animator as well.
Are you talking about the older version of The Mummy or the one with Brendan Frasier? I've only seen the latter.
