The Others
The Legend of Hell House - an oldie but it scared me as a child and still does.
The Ring
6th Sense
The Shining
Haunted houses and ghost stories. It's because creaking doors, creaking floorboards, drafts opening and closing doors, some movement at the corner of your vision, etc. is something I've experienced so things like that creep me out. After watching movies like these, unexplained noises and creaking make me jumpy.

Signs.
Only Signs.
Signs was the only movie in my lifetime that truly terrified me seeing it. But, I think this might have something to do with the fact that I knew nothing about the movie before I saw it. I was only about 12 when I went with my family to see it, and I had not seen any trailers or commercials for it. I didn't even know I was about to see a horror movie.

The scene where the guy gets decapitated by the "metal wire thing" . . . ugh . . . gross

Martyrs.
Beyond a shadow of doubt or a hint of preservation the scariest film I've seen.
Brutal, Brave, Barbaric and Brilliant.

I've never been more frightened than the night my sisters and I rented Poltergeist, The Shining and Exorcist when I was about 7yrs old. Once you've seen those three, you've seen 'em all. I'm pretty numb & emotionless when it comes to modern horror flicks, though, "The Hills Have Eyes" was pretty good(the 2006 remake, which I think was better than Wes Craven's original from the 70s).
I remember Child's Play.
So my mum decides to take her two sons, Bert, 10, and Ernie, 8 (me) to the north of Scotland to visit my Grandad. We stay in 1960s wooden framed, 1bed lodge just by the side of the Loch that has been a friends' of the family for years. A glorious week is spent with the family. We go fishing, have bonfires, tell tales and the such. It's now Sunday and my Mum is packing the car for the way home. My Grandad says he will stay another day as he has no appointments till wednesday. I ask if I can stay with him till then, and he agrees to take me back to the family house the next day.
My Grandad to me was my father figure. He taught me how to make welsh rarebit from 5yrs old. We often watched old war movies, Sharpe (legend), and I'd stay up a bit late to enjoy his company.
So, back in Scotland. After a day of "Go on. See what you can find. I'll make supper". I came back with a horse shoe, a stone with a hole in it and a Famous Grouse biro. my Grandad is far from amused and after supper, we watch some TV and he goes to bed early about 11pm in the only bedroom. My sleeping quarters is the couch. So I stay up awhile with the TV.
I watched that alone, on a 14" tube TV, with wind howling amidst a desolate wasteland of heather, rock and a lake (loch).I remember it ended at 2.45am. Scared ********, and seeing as though time for sleep would be in order I go over to switch the TV off by the way - just because that was my upbringing. The socket goes POP and all power in the lodge goes dead. My aged Pops is asleep and its 3am. Then, at that point in my life, I've never been so scared.
I lie there for 4hours, no sleep. Just willing the sunrise on to bathe me in safety and sanctuary. A horrific wait.

Surprised no one has mentioned The Exorcist. The Director's Cut was scary. The part where Regan was turned upside down, walking down the stairs... yeah, that's not right.
The Exorcist has been mentioned in this thread....
Personally I liked Cannibal Apocalypse and 28 Days Later.
Nothing for The Fly or The Blob(remake)?
I know The Fly is sort of a suspense film but man, that movie gets to your head!
And after seeing The Blob when I was 8 or 9, I thought it was coming out of every drain.

Paranormal Activity was pretty scary.
However, The Orphanage is one of the scariest films I've ever seen.
