I want to know what are the best Best Horror movies to watch ???

Im only looking for genuine horror movies not cheap gore movies like saw, I hate that type of move.

what would your top 10 choices be.
 
I like Sci Fi horror, psychological horror and horror that revolves around monotheistic religions and spirituality. So in no particular order;

Alien (A proper sci fi psychological horror, the second one is an AMERICA, **** YEAH! action movie).
Event Horizon (a sci fi religious horror with a spattering of gore).
The Exorcist (no explanation needed).
The Omen (everything after the first one is trash).
The Thing (original version, not the modern prequel, good sci fi monster horror).
Ring (famous Japanese spirituality / psychological horror).
A Tale Of Two Sisters (Korean psychological horror).
I Saw The Devil (Korean psychological horror).
R-Point (Korean horror set during the Vietnam war).
Hardware (Post apocalyptic horror film based on a 2000AD comic short called Shok!).

Everything in that list I have on DVD and enjoy. I also have prequels and sequels of various on the list and other horror stuff. But that's my top ten.

I think American horror cinema went down the pan quite a bit and doesn't have the history that other cultures have to make good psychological, spiritual or religious based horror. If you look at American horror, it's gore porn, psychotic killers, or haunted houses built on ancient burial grounds. Korean and Japanese horror I find has a far greater spiritual and religious history as well as folklore to pull ideas for monsters, demons and the like from as well as the stereotypical psychological, spiritual and religious based stuff.

The Conjuring is one I seen recently which I thought was fantastic.

Annabelle the spinoff however is a bit disappointing. If you feel like watching it, dont watch the trailer. The trailer gives away every fright in the film.
 
Blair Witch Project (first one)
Paranormal Activity (first one)
The Exorcist
The Ring
Poltergeist
The Skeleton Key
Devil


I don't particularly class films like Aliens, Scream, Psycho etc as horror films.
 
The Haunting (original black and white version)
The Innocents (original black and white version)
Rose Red (Stephen King two part mini-series)
The Exorcist
Alien
The Thing
The Ring
Sinister
The Cabin in the Woods
The Conjuring
The Mist
Dark Water
The Legend of Hell House
The Others
Silent Hill
Deliver us from Evil - watched it last night, wasn't bad at all.

Dawn of the Dead, both original and remake
Evil Dead trilogy

Tenebre, Opera and Susperia 3 films by Dario Argento are worth a watch but are kind of more slasher than monster movies.

The 70's and early 80's were the golden age really.
