The Shining (first saw it very young)
Not the biggest scary movie fan- hardly watch the new ones because modern horror is lacking in originality and good writing/direction (case in point: the Saw series and all these remakes of Japanese psychological horror movies).
Another good one I thought that just sent shivers up my spine was Pandorum. It was fresh and original.

Well, other than you not liking the Exorcist, you're ok in my book [Coffee]

I found The Orphanage to be one of the best scary movies I've ever seen. I was a film with actual content, unlike the Saw series.

I watched The Exorcist, as a kid, in the movie theater. Yeah, it was the scariest thing I had ever seen. Spent most of the time under the seat during The Blob.

Top 10

1. Exorcist
2. The Birds
3. Jesus Camp
4. The Blob
5. Orphanage
6. Jaws
7. Evil Dead
8. Hanna Montana, The Movie
9. Arnold
10. Kids

I watched the first Saw and wanted my two hours back. Dumbest movie evar. [Rant1]

Same with me, except I ended up watching 6 of the movies because I was friends with dumb people who liked that shit.

agreed. the acting in that was some of the worst I've ever seen...

My top ten horror films may take me about a year to figure out, so I figure I'll start posting up my favourites.

This is, though, my number one...easy...

I think my brain is wired wrong then... Exorcist, mainly just a screwed up movie. Jaws, not really all that scary to me. For some reason all these movies people claim are so scary just were entertaining to me- Psycho, somewhat; Any ...of the dead films, pure fun, no scare; Saw series (considering I stopped after 2) just plain terrible, not scary. I'm also not really frightened by the serial killer movies (Jason, Freddy, etc.) But what did scare me was the scene in Case 39 involving hornets and Bradley Cooper- I'm very allergic to stinging insects.

The remake of The Ring scared the hell out of me for a few days, mainly because the pale, dark haired lady in my avatar thought it would be hilarious every morning to brush her hair over her face and wake me up by hissing "seven days" in my ear :D

Man, I haven't been afraid of a scary movie since I was little... Back then it would have been the Exorcist, Poltergeist, Puppet Master, and Friday the 13th. Then I watched one of those "how their made" shows on movies and was never scared again... However I watch scary movies now just to see if any of them and their ideas are remotely scary. Speaking of which, anyone seen the Fourth Kind?

Jaws.... Ya, that scared me, but in a different way than the normal undead horror movies. Jaws plays on real life shit, ya, mostly fantasy on how a shark acts, but still.... The first time I watched Jaws was on a boat off the coast of Florida when I was a little kid, bad bad bad idea.
