I'll have to give The Tenant a go. Cronenberg is well worth mentioning in a conversation about horror, not for Videodrome (which I love, but wouldn't classify as a horror film like some do), but for The Fly. Watch The Fly.
@claudia: There's definitely no comedy in Funny Games... at all. The US version, while superfluous, was fine. They're interchangeable, really. I actually enjoyed Pitt's role a little more compared to the original.
@crithon: I love that movie, Young Frankenstein... scared the hell out of me
Rosemary's Baby. Slow build and you could categorize it as more of a thriller, but still a fantastic film.
I want to mention more stuff that isn't as obvious as The Shining or The Thing or Rosemary's Baby, since you should and probably have seen those already. You're Next just released, I enjoyed that. I watched Absentia on Netflix a while ago and thought it was actually pretty neat.
American Werewolf in London is a classic with some great practical effects on the transformation that reminds me of The Thing.
Also, looking through my dvds, I want to mention Repulsion. Another Polanski thriller that I really loved.
