Many of the movies listed are more sci-fi than horror.
Personally, I go for mood/atmosphere, over shock or gore.
The exorcist may seem somewhat tame now,due to lots of imitators, but when it first came out, it was pretty radical. Its one of the only two horror movies that truely freaked me when I saw it.

Follow Ups:
The Exorcist this one I saw in London back then. I did get out in a kind of shock...
Few months back I bought in on DVD...Well it lost its power, but still enjoyable.
The first reaction often leaves lasting mark. Since I saw most of these when already an adult, not when they came out, they certainly did not create any strong reaction in me. I think I saw Exorcist in 1980, even though I knew all about it from the books. It was a complete ho-hum.But I in general do not consider all those devil/posession films worth my time.
