Dawn of the Dead (2004). Certainly qualifies for a horror. One of the best remakes I've ever seen (though not necessarily for the scare factor.)
Horror isn't really my forte, but some of the best I've seen include:
Jaws
The Exorcist
The Shining
Halloween
Poltergeist

Ringu is one of the scariest films I watched. Ever! You feel uncomfortable from the first frame, and then it slowly develops to heart-stopping terror.
Dark Water is another movie by the same director. Almost as scary as Ringu.
But for gods sake see the japanese originals, the american remakes sucks
Another movie that stayed with me for quite a long time afterwards was The Sixth Sense. Alltough not a horror movie as such, it´s really creepy in certain scenes. Plus it´s a damn good movie!

Ringu may be what I'm looking for. I appreciate everyone's posts and have seen some of the films mentioned.

Does 'horror' include ghost stories ?
Because there's an excellent black and white film with Dana Andrews called 'Night of the Demon' which is based on the British writer M.R. James's ghost story, 'Casting the Runes'.
Andrews plays a sceptical American psychiatrist/psychologist who is forced to believe in the supernatural when he becomes enmeshed in the investigation into the mysterious death of one of his British colleagues who has been investigating a cult leader, Karswell. It's steeped in atmosphere, and even gets a mention in the opening song of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'.
I'd also recommend the film of Dennis Wheatley's novel 'The Devil Rides Out' which features Christopher Lee and Charles Gray, and two Hammer Horror films- 'The Reptile' and 'Plague of the Zombies', which is set in Cornwall. It has an excellent dream sequence as does another film called 'Razorback' about giant feral hogs in Australia's Outback.
George Romero's 'The Crazies' also springs to mind, as does 'Witchfinder General' starring Vincent Price. Oh, and also 'The Haunted Palace' and 'The Shuttered Room'.
Japanese ones I'd mention are 'Kwaidan' and 'Onibaba: Killer of Women'- superb cinematography and evocation of creeping atmosphere.
I liked the Dutch film 'Amsterdamned' and also Verhoeven's 'The Fourth Man' starring Jeroen Krabbe- and the original Danish version of 'Nightwatch'.
There's also another black and white film based on Fritz Leiber's tale 'Conjure Wife' about witchcraft in a college faculty- it stars a young Peter Wyngarde.
And there's an excellent comedy about witchcraft starring the luscious Kim Novak, called 'Bell Book and Candle'.
Happy hunting & watching.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
