One of my favorites is Repulsion, directed by Roman Polanski and starring Catherine Deneuve. Much more of a thiller than a horror flick, but chilling and worthwhile.
What else for thrillers. The Birds, maybe. Frailty is kick-ass, especially if you surround sound. Oldboy is one of my favorite movies of the last few years. Signs is well known, but good.
One recent horror flick you need to get is High Tension, as long as you don't mind subtitles. I can be quite a movie snob, and horror films are a notoriously easy genre for a movie snob to pick on, but I thought this one was really good. The Descent was also not bad.
