The recently remastered Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Der Golem, Nosferatu, Waxworks, and for good measure I'd also recommend Faust (Murnau).For something a little more contemporary I'd recommend The Haunting (of Hill House) original 1963 movie directed by Robert Wise; Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, which you've probably seen umpteen times but is still creepy; George Romero's original Night of the Living Dead; The Others; Legend of Harvest Home; The Wicker Man; Roman Polanski's Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby and The Tenant.
This doesn't even scratch the surface, but should get you started, ...or at least give you a start! ;^)

Good one, more contemporary but very horrific in a quietly disturbing way.mp
Ah, AuPh, how canst thee forget "Vampyr?" A greaaat silent effort by, I believe (without cheating and looking it up) the same guy who directed the classic "Joan of Arc?"
And, for my money, (after "Psycho"), the scariest movie of all, because it forces you to internalize the fear, "The Vanishing." This is truly the most underrated of all scary pictures. The acting is superb! (NB: do not, under any circumstances, rent the Hollywood remake with the same director and "starring" Jeff Bridges; get the original Dutch).
