In no particular order:
Poltergeist. I saw it in the theaters with my older sister and dad when I was 13 or 14. Seriously screwed me up for a long time. I picked up the DVD last Halloween and it's still scarier than most of the crap that passes for horror these days.
The Shining. Jack Nicholson + Stephen King + Stanley Kubrick. What more do I need to say?
Exorcist 1 and 3. Both great. I found 3 scarier.
If you're a zombie fan, check out Della Morte Della More (spelling may be wrong). It was released in america as Cemetary Man. It's more artsy than scary, but worth watching.
Honorable Mentions: Alien (the first one), The Cell (great visuals), Jacobs Ladder
