Hills Have Eyes, The (1977): Wes Craven brings a unique tale of horribly deformed once–humans who now seek out human flesh. Not quite as intense or brilliant as the original Chainsaw massacre, but still great horror viewing.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The (1974): This is Tobe Hooper's masterpiece: an intense, suspenseful, graphic (without actually showing too–much gore!), and incredibly horrifying tale of the most psychotic family to ever grace the big screen.
Salem's Lot (1979): This may be a TV rendition, but it remains a seriously creepy affair from the masterful mind of Stephen King and directed by Texas Chainsaw's Tobe Hooper. Well worth seeing for vampire or King fans.
Village, The (2004): Sure, the 'twist' isn't exactly masterful, but visually, the film is striking, and it contains many interesting societal messages.
Signs (2002): A unique take on the aliens film, this is gripping and suspenseful, another Shyamalan creation that will have you guessing until the end. Sadly, not quite as satisfying in its final moments as it should be.
Godsend (2004): Not quite as intriguing as it should be, and relying a little too heavily on the 'creepy child' idea that we have become accustomed to, this was disappointing for me, especially in light of the numerous psychological thrillers of recent years.
Deer Hunter, The (1978): Classic Vietnam–war drama on the horrors of war, and the lives of the men who physically survived the terrible things they witnessed, but leaving them severely psychologically affected.
Platoon (1986): A must–see Vietnam film by now–veteran Oliver Stone, and an almost all–star cast.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
We Were Soldiers (2002): We Were Soldiers is by no means a classic anti–war film, but it does have an emotional and gripping plot, and it remains respectful and mostly 'realistic' in its portrayal of the Vietnam war.
Behind Enemy Lines (2001): Behind Enemy Lines certainly doesn't aim for realism, but it does remain an intense and enjoyable action film with Wilson illegally behind enemy lines and running to escape the full wrath of the military.
