Please don't think I haven't read this thread...or am ignoring it-this kinda thing takes some thought! I Guarentee I'll have a list soon-(though it's always apt to change at any given second). Some will always be in my top list...such as...(in no particular order,and all for different reasons...)

1.the RAVEN (1935) Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff.  Lugosi 's BEST movie...along with
2.WHITE ZOMBIE (1932) An almost Grimms (very grim) fairy tale  film...otherwordly and haunting!
4.BRIDE of the MONSTER-More Lugosi (of course). Plus Tor Johnson,a rubber octopus-all directed by Ed Wood. Heaven(or Hell-depending on your point of view!) on Earth veiwing!
5.The TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974...of course!)
6.NIGHT of the LIVING DEAD- B+W version!

I'll continue tommorrow....! Untill then...Pleasant...screams.... mooo hooo ha ha ha!

For horror/sci-fi, all the usual stuff like Alien, Aliens, Terminator, T2, Event Horizon, Predator, Jason X, etc.

For lesser known stuff,

Lethal Target - takes all the FX footage from one of the Xtro movies and recycles it.  C.C. Costigan is pretty good in the lead role.  Great exploitation stuff, yippee  TeddyR  Can get sort of deadly dull in spots, but the T&A holds my interest.

Bone Snatcher - small group of people in the desert are attacked by mysterious monster type thing.  Good characters and atmosphere.

Breeders (1998) - alien monster attacks hot babes on an all-girl college campus. 

Centipede - giant centipede attacks kids in some caves in India.  One pretty hot babe.  Total cheese fest.

Cerberus - three headed dog chases after Emmanuelle Vaugier and Sebastian Spence.  Cheesy but entertaining.

Crash and Burn - android stalks people in a post-apocalyptic shelter.  Features a giant robot at the end!

Creature (1985) - Group of people land on Titan and are killed by an alien creature.  One of the better sci-fi/horror movies of the '80s.

Dracula 3000 - I'm one of about 4 people who like this, and the other three aren't so sure.  A corny Dracula chases Casper Van Dien, Erika Eleniak, and Tiny Lister around a spaceship. 

The Flesh Eaters - nice B&W movie about a mad scientists' creation threatening a group of surprisingly well developed characters around an island.

Ghosts of Mars - a fun movie about some weird entities that take over the people on Mars, turning them into rejects from a Mad Max movie.  Natasha Henstridge does a great job, and looks hot.

Hellraiser Bloodlines - crazy cool movie that starts out in the future on a space station, then goes back in time to cover the history of the Lament Configuration puzzle box.

Insecticidal - total cheese fest with giant bugs attacking barely-dressed babes in a dorm.

Inseminoid - slow moving but atmospheric horror movie about some people on a far off moon being attacked by an alien monster.

Leprechaun 4 - In Space!  Almost beyond a cheese-fest, but I thought it was a load of fun.  the little Leprechaun picks off some space Marines aboard their spaceship.

Leviathan - Great Alien-type movie about a creature killing people on underwater mining facility.  Excellent characters including Peter Weller, Richard Crenna and Amanda Pays.

Manticore - Nasty critter in the Iraqi desert stalks some Marines.  Not bad at all for a Sci-Fi Channel original.

Not of this Earth (1988) - Blood-sucking alien is after Tracy Lords, who's got nothing but her blue bikini to protect her!  Totally fun cheese fest.

The Shaft - Killer elevator threatens the residents of Manhattan.  Naiomi Watts looks hot.  Really fun movie in my opinion.

Sphere - Alien sphere at the bottom of the sea causes problems for Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone and Samuel L. Jackson.  Good movie, could have been a bit shorter though.

Virus - Alien virus is downloaded from the Mir space station and causes problems for Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland.  I really liked this one, exciting, mysterious and a little bit scary.

Horror is an incredibly broad category.  The early German silents and classic Universal movies are nothing like grindhouse horror of the 70s, slashers of the 80s, or torture porn of today, yet they're all lumped under "horror."  There's also lots of so-bad-it's-good horror, which isn't scary at all but still entertaining.

Not knowing what kind of horror you gravitate towards, I'll throw out a title:

THE BLACK CAT (1934)

I know RC likes THE RAVEN, but I think this is the best Lugosi/Karloff teamup.  Check out the crazy geometric sets (and Karloff's haircut!)

I take it you're looking for films that are a cool mix of science fiction chills and thrills. Have to recommend the following:

The Quatermass films (pretty much any and all of them, the TV series too but espeically QUATERMASS AND THE PIT (1967))

The many Body Snatchers films (obviously the Invasion of the Body Snatchers films from 1956 and 1978, but also IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (1953) has similar elements as does THE FACULTY from the 1990s. Even BODY SNATCHERS (1993) wasn't too bad)

The Frankenstein films (Most Frankenstein stories are a blend of sci-fi and horror. In terms of films, the 1930s Universal films are still tops but there's also a couple of cool Hammer films from the late 50s and early 60s not to mention a cool TV movie called "Frankenstein: the True Story". Even Roger Corman's FRANKENSTEIN UNBOUND had its moments)

Technically you could argue that The FLY films (from both the 50s and 80s) are another variation on the Frankenstein theme. Mad Scientist films in general tend to be great sci-fi horror fodder.

Truly great classic Sci-Fi (especially from the 1950s) have great moments of Horror. The Monster on the Loose genre seems to coincide as well even in the lower end cheesy films like ROBOT MONSTER and THE HIDEOUS SUN DEMON.  There's the Id Monster in FORBIDDEN PLANET, Gort in THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, Robot Maria in METROPOLIS, The Spider in THE INCFREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, HAL in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, The unseen threat in THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN and so many more.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
