With Halloween coming up, I think it would be a good time to bring up favorite horror films. I personally like the ones that don't take themselves seriously. Here are mine:
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Gremlins 1 and 2
Ghostbusters (first one mostly. Second was ok)
Phantom of the Opera
Frankenstein (the Boris Karloff version)
It
Carrie

The Shining

The Exorcist

John Carpenter's The Thing (possibly the most imaginative special effects I've seen in a horror film)

Hellraiser (the first two movies in the "Pinhead" franchise)

Dawn of the Dead (the original 1978 version, though the 2004 version was pretty good too)

28 Days Later

Zodiac (which succeeds as a horror film, a police drama, and as a 1970s period piece)

Happy Birthday to Me
The Poltergeist
The Exorcist
Halloween (and a couple of sequels)
Silence of the Lambs (not really a horror but it's creepy)
Ginger Snaps
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead, both the original and remake
Scream (1-3)
Hellraiser (1-3)
Quarantine
The Ring/Ringu
Cloverfield
Carrie
American Psycho
Alien/Aliens
The Grudge/Ju On The Grudge (all of them)
28 Days/Weeks Later

And I love the Horrorfest "Films to Die For" movies like Gravedancers, Penny Dreadful, Unrest, Reincarnation, etc, and the kiddie movies like Hocus Pocus
I went overboard with the list, but I guess it's obvious that I love Halloween/October.

I find most horror films cheesy but I liked Suspiria. It has a good soundtrack and cinematography.
