Oooo yes, a thread for me.
I'm glad to see Funny Games mentioned. I'll be a turd and say I enjoyed the original more than the remake because of the cast, especially the mother. It's hosed up and definitely not fun to watch, but if you're a fan of the genre, you can't miss it. Two terrifying young guys manipulate a rich family and the audience. A very smart film, and the interview with director Michael Haneke that accompanies the DVD is important to watch.
Also, The Vanishing, but the original Dutch and not whatever lovely Sandra Bullock remake happened in the 90s. A couple are embarking on a summer vacation together but it all goes to hell when she disappears at a rest stop. Her boyfriend, Rex, devotes the next several years to finding out what happened to her. And he does. Wonderfully spooky ambiance and a terrifying ending.
Nthing Funny Games. Is The Vanishing 'Spoorloos'? If so, I've had a copy here for ages after Eli Roth chose it for some horror marathon a while back and never got round to it, this could be the reason to watch it though.
I seem to remember lots of people hating on The Hole when it came out, I thought it wasn't bad, but I saw it quite a while ago when I thought differently about films in general. Probably worth a rewatch.

The Box is really weird, but good! Absolutely not what I was expecting, what I thought would be the entire point of the movie was dispensed with in the first ~20 minutes. Maybe I overrate it because I was taken by surprise, but I think it's worth a watch.
