Oooo yes, a thread for me. I'm glad to see Funny Games mentioned. I'll be a turd and say I enjoyed the original more than the remake because of the cast, especially the mother. It's hosed up and definitely not fun to watch, but if you're a fan of the genre, you can't miss it. Two terrifying young guys manipulate a rich family and the audience. A very smart film, and the interview with director Michael Haneke that accompanies the DVD is important to watch. Also, The Vanishing, but the original Dutch and not whatever lovely Sandra Bullock remake happened in the 90s. A couple are embarking on a summer vacation together but it all goes to hell when she disappears at a rest stop. Her boyfriend, Rex, devotes the next several years to finding out what happened to her. And he does. Wonderfully spooky ambiance and a terrifying ending. Wait Until Dark, the classic Audrey Hepburn film in which she plays a blind woman unwittingly in possession of a doll supposedly stuffed with heroin. Left alone, she must outmaneuver two conmen out for the doll--and her. I screamed the first time I saw this, which is uncommon given that I watch a loooot of thrillers. What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is a great Bette Davis/Joan Crawford film about sibling jealousy. One a formerly famous child actress and the other a glamorous Hollywood starlet, they've been shuttered from society for decades following a suspicious car accident. Features alcoholism, mental illness, emotional and physical abuse, eccentricity, and Bette Davis's wonderfully expressive face. All of that said, I'll agree in short with these since they've been mentioned and they ruled: Polanski's The Tenant and Rosemary's Baby (I could never get into Repulsion?), Solaris, Possession, and Audition (just... disgustingly terrifying).

Turada posted:Nthing Funny Games. Is The Vanishing 'Spoorloos'? If so, I've had a copy here for ages after Eli Roth chose it for some horror marathon a while back and never got round to it, this could be the reason to watch it though. Yep, that's it.
