I love
In Dreams.
Both creepy and dark and vengeful. Plus Neil Jordan does great with fairy tale dreaminess (in this instance gone horribly awry).
Halloween
scared me more than any other horror movie. But I saw it on its first run and before its impact had been watered down by endless slasher rehashes.
Don't Look Now
is just a great movie. And, like
In Dreams
plays on
parental loss.
I love
The Haunting
but generally didn't find it that scary - excepting the aforementioned scene.
I just saw An Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore's documentary about the environment), and I am so incredibly depressed.
It's an excellent movie -- basically just a concert film of one of his lectures, which some random biographical stuff thrown in to break up the pacing -- but...we're not going to have a planet in 50 years. And I don't think we're far enough along in our space program to do without one.
So yeah. Everyone should see this.

Will nuking Iran speed things up?
Anyway, yeah, I really want to see AIT....

I'll be dead in 50 years. That's mighty convenient.
::starts living it up like the fundi-Rapturists::
Bring on the Apocalypso!
The only film on that list I've seen is The Shining, but I had already seen the Simpsons parody so the scary was pretty much ruined.
I scariest one for me was probably Aliens. I don't know if scary is right word though, more like intense. I have to see more movies.

Everybody limbo.
Wrong Christians...
I don't know... they make* me* think 'how low can they go?' pretty frequently. I think it fits.
Yeah,
Alien
(the horror movie, not the action movie sequel) scared the living crap out of me. Possibly the best slasher ever made - slasher meets sci-fi! (though I do love Halloween - actually, I love the entire slasher genre).
Alien would be scarier, but I saw Aliens first so it wasn't new. Can't put the Alien back in the belly so to speak.
