Thanks. Hostel was difficult for me to watch so, I think I'll pass on A Serbian Film.

Paul mentioned Misery. I liked that, but it was almost too much.

I know exactly what you mean. Anyone who's seen Misery will never forget the "hobbling" scene with the sledgehammer. Ouch

^The only Stephen King book I had to put down and walk away from when I read that passage. I though I was going to get sick. But I think it was a bit of PTSD I had from a horrific ankle injury I had suffered as a teen.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

5. The Vanishing
6. Perfect Strangers
7. Cape Fear (the 1991 remake with Robert di Niro)
8. The Fog
9. Open Water 
10. Misery

11. The Fly (the 1986 remake with Jeff Goldblum)
12. The Invasion (a 2007 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers starring Daniel Craig & Nicole Kidman)

I definitely prefer the originals of 11 and 12. The "Help Me" scene of the original of "The Fly" alone is better than the whole remake. The remake relies too much on FX and too little on story.

I am generally not fond of remakes. I definitely prefer Robert Mitchum to Robert de Niro as the villain in "Cape Fear". Mitchum has a creepiness that de Niro can't match.

I've seen all the films in the list and I do like a decent horror. My choices would be Alien and The Thing (remake) as I like the scenarios where people are trapped somewhere and can't get out. Others that I like not on the list are The Cabin in the Woods (mainly because it went somewhere unexpected) and The Cube (and its sequels).
Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen

You would like "Malpertuis" then because that's the central theme of the movie, with a double twist ending.

I like/love about 1/3 of the films, 1/3 I haven't seen and 1/3 I need to see again to make up my mind. 

Outside the list I must mention The Hills Have Eyes (original, haven't seen the remake) and Night Of The Living Dead. Oh, and Blair Witch Project, too. 

As for The Fly, I prefer the remake, it might actually be in my top 10 films, but as Friede said above, the "help me" scene is great. I find it difficult to watch and listen to actually.

I'm not at all a fan of the horror genre, much more of the thriller. That said, I've seen most of the films of this list (actually, all but two), also because many are just major classics... One of my favourites from this list is Lost Highway, which imo is a thriller, although it also exploits some codes of the horror genre.
Other than that, the list might be long: Doctor Caligari, Don't Look Now, Psycho, Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, The Silence of the Lambs, Videodrome...
Since Caligari got teamed up with Roeg's film, it definitely gets my vote, together with The Silence of the Lambs - this one is really creapy - and Videodrome, for its off-beat cult value...

Yep, Lost Highway I would sooner call a thriller too. It's the horroresque I meant with "Some of my favourite horror or horroresque films (some might be considered more thriller or whatever)...." I too am not really a horror fan, but there are many films and TV shows with horror elements/ qualities that I love.
Duos for fave acts

I like a lot of these films, but I voted for Alien and The Silence Of The Lambs as I did actually find them quite scary!

Really must see The Wicker Man - why have I not already?!!

I also have to add Tom Cruise's War Of The Worlds film.  I find the first half hour or so in particular to be genuinely frightening....
