Ones that leave you with your heart racing, have an eerie atmosphere and can even make you question the people around you and ask questions like "Why am I here? Is this real?".
I can appreciate all forms of horror. No horror movie is more real than another. More realistic, maybe, but not more real. Horror is a genre that allows for extreme seriousness and complete and utter nonsense, respectively. It's wide range of possibilities is one of the things I love about the genre most. To completely disregard the less serious, more comical, more fun and ridiculous side of horror, to me, seems irresponsible in that a lot is left to be appreciated. That's just my opinion, though.

Please...there's no need to bring Canadian pop stars into the Horror movie section.
Quote:I guess good movies:
Alien/s
Silence of the Lambs
The Ring
Blair Witch
6th sense
Carrie
Psycho
The Grudge
The Thing
R-point
The Shinning
Let The Right One In
28 Days Later
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Poltergeist
The Birds and Night of the Living Dead (I love the old style to these films)
Some of my favorite horror movies (although it's very hard not to list a billion movies) include:
SAW (Entire series, not just the first movie and not just the first couple movies.)
Scream (series)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (Original. I did enjoy the remake, though)
Eden Lake (one of the better helpless, torture movies I've seen)
Alien (Also enjoyed Prometheus)
John Carpenter's the Thing (I also did like the 2011 prequel)
The People Under the Stairs (One of Wes Craven's best movies)
Idle Hands (probably one of the best horror comedies)
Cry Wolf
Frozen
My Soul to Take (Wes Craven doing what he does best)
127 Hours (I do consider this a horror movie. Although obviously not your traditional style of horror.)
Zombieland
I could list a ton more, but whatever. We'll let this thread continue.
I'd also mention Freaks. As it is the oldest horror movie I've seen (1932), and has one of the strongest messages of all the horror movies I've seen.
I'm a big fan of Wes Craven, by the way.
