Best Horror film of the century... and why?

I ask this because I'm looking for a good horror to watch, I'm looking at The Shining quality of both acting and violence, and yeah, spooks... I would go

I would prefer a wide variety of suggestions... if possible, and I may see some films i've never heard about!

The Exorcist hands down is the greatest horror movie of all time

I don't know. I don't feel like watching 100 years worth of horror movies and then trying to decide which one I liked best.

I have a particular affinity to the original "The Thing," largely because it's difficult to know who to trust.mattbbpl

You know the Kurt Russel Thing was a remake itself right :P

The Thing has my vote as well

.....because of Kurt F*cking Russell

The Devils Rejects?

My favorite would be Alien.

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"][QUOTE="chilly-chill"] And that awesome beard Kurt Russell has.

Century..that's a tough one. I'll assume you don't just mean year 2000 and up. I'll just go with Psycho cause it is the horror movie.

I would go for The Exorcist. Terrifying movie when i first watched it!

Pick one.

Silly bear! Your fingers typed the wrong thing. :P

A horror movie journey back through time:

Se7en ( 1995 )
Silence Of The Lambs ( 1991 )
John Carpenter's The Thing ( 1982 )
An American Werewolf In London ( 1981 )
The Changeling ( 1980 - starring George C. Scott)
The Shining ( 1980 )
Alien ( 1979 )
Halloween ( 1978 )
Magic ( 1978 )
Eraserhead ( 1977 - for unsettling weirdness )
The Omen ( 1976 )
Jaws ( 1975 )
The Wicker Man ( 1973 - starring Edward Woodward )
Legend Of Hell House (1973 )
The Exorcist ( 1973 )
Don't Look Now ( 1973 )
The Devil Rides Out ( 1968 )
Rosemary's Baby ( 1968 )
The Haunting ( 1963 )
Psycho ( 1960 )
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers ( 1956 )
Cat People ( 1942 )
Nosferatu ( 1922 - silent )

These are some of the best written and acted horror movies, in my experience.

Other possibilities:

The Mist ( 2007 - very powerful ending )
The Sixth Sense ( 1999 )
Village Of The Damned ( 1960 )

Halloween is a great one. I've never watched The Shining, though I've heard it's excellent. Guess I should go watch it soon.

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is quality if you want a more light harted horror.

depends on what a horror film is..is it the Shining? or is it Halloween?..Phsyco? or Blairwhich Project?..Its like asking what is your favorite video game..its impossible to say really cause in the back of your mind you're always thinking.."well yea but this one is good too"..lol..

I'm liking the look of The Thing (1982), which I will be taking a look at as Kurt Russel stars (watched Death Proof the other day) and the lists will help, I couldn't help but be pulled into to the Don't Look Now picture, looks quite eery, but brilliant suggestions guys, got some work to do looking through the storylines of the ones I have yet to see, yes, I am that desperate to watch a horror....
