Loved the Universal ones (Frankenstein, Werewolf, etc.). Saw a million 60s movies and loved them. I saw so many Hammer movies it's hard to recommend just one. You won't necessarily find them scary per se, but they have good acting, sets, and costumes.
Not an expert on Hammer flix but, if you find yourself liking them & have some (legal, of course) opioid prescriptions hanging around, it might be advisable to medicate oneself to the Corman/Price films of the works of Edgar Allen Poe. It is arguably possible, should one combine the two, to travel in time thru some kind of cranial wormhole. Unwatchable with a clear head, however.
If a movie is supposed to be good, I will watch almost genre. Horror isn't something I have a strong affinity for. I have seen a spattering of the "classic" horror movies dating back to Dr. Caligari. I found a lot of the older movies like Frankenstein, Dracula, Cat People, King Kong, etc/ to be so dated that it would be tough to watch without some allure of nostalgia or as a historical interest. However, that seems to go for most horror movies. Scary movies rarely hold up well.
IL80 aint kidding about the bolded, folks. the Archers, makers of Black Narcissus, were the first Coen Bros. The most original film language you're not familiar with.
I like James Mason in this movie- his devil may care attitude is the perfect foil for the intensity of Garland. If the producers would have Cukor alone, this might be up there with GWTW and CK as high watermarks of American movies. Instead we get an oddity- the great American musical that isn't quite.
I've seen a handful of those, and I will see if I can get any of the others through my limited avenues. 
I loved The Orphanage. Did you see Babadook? Loved that one.
Being scared isn't a qualifier for me liking a horror movie, as very few actually get me to that point. Most that do lately are foreign horror movies like The Orphanage. I just like good movies, and have a huge soft spot for the genre despite the amount of cheap horrible junk that is pumped out in the genre. Actually it's probably because of that reason I tend to be more impressed and really get hooked into a great one from the genre - I had to watch 10 bad ones to get there, so I appreciate it that much more.
Nice I'll have to check some of those out. I liked Peeping Tom, Diabolique and Eyes Without a Face as well.
Yep. I think It Follows and Babadook both came out the same year and I really liked them both. I need to check out a couple of the new foreign ones that keep coming up - Train to Bussan, Raw, The Wailing. I almost always like the foreign horror movies more than ours now.
From his list I have Black Sunday and Horror Express coming in.
Diabolique is probably similar to Repulsion in that's not traditional horror- rides the line of thriller/horror.
Dying to see Peeping Tom. The original Diabolique is wonderful.
Man, I hope you guys are listening to the Forever Midnight podcast. These dudes work and live in my city. They're really nice guys, and they love all the great and shlocky horror movies I loved as a kid. Podcast is very funny and entertaining.
I just scrolled through episodes list and I barely recognize anything they are talking about lol. I am way out of my depth with horror.
@jdoggydogg - Have you tried the Faculty of Horror podcast? I think movie podcasts are about 1/2 of my 50 that I subscribe to, but that one and the Cine-files are the two at the top of my head that I know I don't miss an episode of. It's fun to listen to two female sociologists that love the genre talk about it.
They have been playing those on the bombed-out over-the-air sci-fi channel around here. I'd never claim to have a clear head, but they are a rough watch.
If you don't know the movies, the reviews are still funny. If you watch the movie first, it's even funnier.
I haven't heard that, but I really enjoyed Roger Ebert's commentary tracks for the Citizen Kane and Dark City DVDs.
The 4th part of that month-long podcast was them doing a commentary track for the movie.
Yeah, if you're not into Kumail Nanjiani you're not going to like this movie. Not to compare the two in comedic terms, but it's kind of like Andy Samberg's movies. If you don't like the main dude, there's going to be a whole lot of what you don't like.
Agree. Asian cinema (no, not that kind) makes for problematic viewing because the cultures are so different.
It was veering that direction. The main part of the plot was basically a guy got seduced by ghosts and spent a weekend having sex with the ghost while her ghost servant took care of them. Bizarre.
I could see that. I didn't want to pile on too much, but I was shocked when I saw how much he had been in. My thoughts when I was watching this was that he was in it because it was his story, but it was one of his first times acting. I had 0 clue who he was.

Hmmm, that does sound like 1/2 the porn I watch.
Just saw this and totally agree. I had some sympathy for Tonya by the end of the movie. Very good overall. The acting was great.
the difference between art & commerce, my friend, and how money turned media away from being the living frontiers of our minds
