I love horror movies. They are the worlds greatest comedies. But once, every planetary alignment or something like that, a truly good horror movie comes along and freaks at least someone out. Everyone has a different opinion of horror, for me the type of horror that is best is the psychological horror. Stuff that toys with your mind. One of my all time favourite horror movies is this strangely forgotten gem, "Jacobs Ladder." Although it's pretty clear a development team over in Japan saw this film since it was the main inspiration for the "Silent Hill" series of games, I don't know too many people who know of this twisted classic. It's a film that one can literally call a "Trip" with a straight face. I highly recommend it.

Here's a trailer: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0kW6xuxtPU[/ame]

Although this is more mainstream and really more in the "horror-comedy" area, The first and third "Nightmare on Elm St." movies are pretty good. The third is really the only worthwhile sequel, imo. It's hysterical but it retains the smarts of the first movie, and its definitely more watchable than all the other Freddy sequels.
 
I remember watching Jacob's ladder, it was creepy but too young to appreciate the "trippiness" of it all but Nightmare on Elm Street was an instant classic have to agree. I also remember watching the Exorcist and having to turn the lights on, lol.

....any NEW or recently released faves? I thought The Descent was pretty good and Dawn of the Dead and the 28days/weeks later updated the zombie genre.

I wasn't a big fan of Jacob's Ladder, it was probably a little to hyped up for me and failed to impress.

Right now my favorite is a little french film called ? l'int?rieur (Inside).
 
Gotta go with The Shinning
