What do you think is the scariest movie every? We were having a conversation at work the other day about scary movies, and I couldn't really think of one that scared the crap out of me. So I want to watch one that will, any ideas.

Scary Movie 3. BOO!
Nah, I don't really get scared by movies for some reason. Its like I know its fake so I cant be scared. It just ruins the fun of horror movies....
-
Jaws 4. I was sooo scared that I had blown $5 on a complete waste of time....and I was right!!! >:(

I find that what is scary varies from person to person. Some poeple think Freddy and Jason movies are scary, but they do nothing for me at all.
Personaly, The Shining and the Exorcist were probably the scariest I have seen.

Jacob's Ladder - Maybe more disturbing than scary - but worth a look.

I thought 'The Ring' was pretty scary.
I do a lot of camping and 'The Blair Witch Project' really freaked me out the first time I saw it. I had the room all dark, and I was the only one home, and that 'clicking' sound in the forest really got to me.
When I was a lot younger, Poltergeist scared me pretty bad. Something in the 'Tree' scene eating the kid freaked me out.

Sixth Sense
Try to remember the very first time you watched it.

"Open Water" -- Scared the crap out of me...

'love actually'
I actually liked that movie.

The original Jaws scared the crap outta me. I grew up in the kind of coastal town depicted in the movie, and while we didn't have great white sharks other types of "man eating" sharks are caught there fairly often.
Oddly enough it's sequal was the movie that got me interested in special effects. Jaws 2 was filmed for the most part near my hometown, and I got to see a good bit of it happening. The rig they had set up to control the shark looked quite similar the the first pic in Drew's houseboat thread. From then on I've always been more interested in "how'd they do that" rather than the plot of horror movies.

I remember in a psychology class, we had to watch the movie The Changling because some study at the time showed that it was the scariest movie (this was well before the Ring and the Grudge), but personally, I didn't find it all that scary (but worth a watch).
I think the reason the Grudge and the Ring seem to be so scary is because there is no rationale behind the haunting. Like in old horror flicks, you always had a silver bullet or a steak to the heart etc... to defeat the monster, and there was always an explanation behind why they were after the victim and how they could be stopped. In the latest horror flicks, the scary part seems to be that there is no real way of stopping the mosters, it's just a bunch of startling sequences of victims trying to outrun the monster. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

Hell yeah, when I haunt someone, I fully expect them to come at me with a good steak.

What scared me in the ring was the crazy video scnene. Especially when the Thumb is squashed on the nail. Kida creepy. But I think you're right, there does not seem to be any logic in the movies as stew pointed out.
-
See the movies I find scary, are more disturbing then scary like "Requiem for a Dream", "Lilya 4-ever". Ones where people start out normal-ish and then wind up totally f*cked in the end. Horror movies never really did anything for me, because my rational side says that's not possible.
