The first Alien terrified me as a kid.
Now it's all about the jump scares and the Conjuring was right up there as one of the best.

50 Shades of Grey, scariest shit I ever saw, could only see 15minutes before I ran out screaming "oh the Humanity!"
That stuff is ok in the bedroom, ok in a porn, (maybe ok in books, haven't read 'em), NOT ok as some stupid fuckass made for "the tweens" movie.
I shudder just to think about it.

I could see myself getting all fancy and dolled up to sit down and watch it
The cinemas were absolutely mobbed with mums when that film came out.
You would spot your pals mum and let them know his mum went to see porn

It's a simple enough concept and I can see why it attracts (mainly) hordes of women, but the 15minutes I saw, not to mention the trailer for the first movie, (the one trailer with the super lame soundtrack!), that's like inhaling the vapors of CO2+chloroform+nitroglycerin+mercury;I could see myself getting all fancy and dolled up to sit down and watch it

It strangles me with its actors; I only remember the woman and Mr. Gray,
and the woman seemed like she was portraying a 14year old girl during her first crush when she was still a virgin and really liked vampire movies,
Mr. Gray seemed like a some dickless jerk I'd just love to nail to a cross while telling him that it's bad manners to fuck 14yo girls.
The chloroform part is the numbing action I felt gripping my brain,
(Yes I've worked with chloroform so I know it well)
because it just felt seriously wrong for me to see that movie when I did,
(I'll admit I didn't see it under the best of circumstances, it was with my ex wife and I was just coming home from actually doing some BDSM stuff with a bit crazy/funny woman from L.E actually. She wasn't a detective or nothing, but had a sort of "leader" position, so when it came to the bedroom (or outdoors) she liked to give away control a little, or very much actually.
Which is another fucking thing; very few do BDSM 24/7,
and those that do it 24/7 are generally a bit weird, dressing in gas masks like Marcus avatar 24/7 hehe.
Just cause a woman wants to be "controlled"/"submissive (which in reality means she actually has all the control, cause when/IF she says the Stop word then it stops, so in that sense the submissive has all the power)
...where was I..?.. oh yes, just cause a woman want that,
In all fucking likelihood she would NOT want a "controlling" husband or any shit like that, outside the bedroom/sofa/pool/isolated places,etc she would most likely be just as dominant as most women are.
And the film were like nitroglycerin cause all this shit gives me a headache.
(Try a wiff of nitro and see for yourself, instant headache!)
And lastly it was like mercury cause during those 15minutes I could feel how reaction after reaction in my body stopped working, and heavy metal poisoning was imminent.
My God, it's almost like I'll have to try seeing it again with my lovable GF,
as this has turned into a serious trauma.
End of rant.

Ive never known someone to have had that much of an adverse reaction to the film lol!
I thought maybe i was just too young to appreciate the idea of it... never seen it but just as you described, it sounds absolutely aids.
Wonder if there is some sort of subtext subliminal shit that hooked everyone hmmm.
Your experience with nitroglyceren is also interesting. To my knowledge that is dynamite lol, you certainly have an interesting life doc

If you're into subtle horror, you might like Let the Right One In. It's about a little boy who makes friends with a girl about his age who lives in his building. Except she's not a little girl, she's a 600-year-old vampire, but he obviously doesn't know this. The 2008 Swedish-language film is much better than the 2010 English-language remake (titled "Let Me In") so if you're going digital and you can't find a copy with subtitles, download the .srt file, but you have to get one that matches the source, else it'll be out of sync. If you use VLC Player you can adjust the sync to make the match pretty closely, if not perfectly.
Going old achool, if you've never seen Freaks (B&W, 1932), it holds up well and IMHO is worth a look.
If you are into SciFi horror (with the occasional laugh thrown in) and can stomach Don Johnson, check out A Boy and His Dog. It's far less wholesome than the title makes it sound. It's about a horny young man living in a post-apocalyptic world who partners with a telephathic dog that can sniff out pussy.
If you haven't seen Vincent Price's original The Fly (1958), that might be worth a look. It's a little corny by modern standards, and you probably know the storyline, but if you haven't seen Vincent Price's interpretation, you've only seen immitations. It's told like a Film Noir (or Citizen Kane, for that matter), it starts by presenting the ending and then tells the story of how it got there.
Other little known 'gems' or older classics that have fallen out of fashion, The Babadook (2014), The Changeling (1980), Then Hunger (1983, w/David Bowie), Hell Raiser (1987), Phantasm (1979), One Hour Photo (2002, w/Robin Williams!!)
If you have a 'thing' for Scarlett Johansson, DO NOT watch Under the Skin. Yes, it's probably the only nude role she will ever do, but you don't want your fantasy spoiled. And that's all I have to say on that matter.
The original Predator was a twofer, it starts out as a good war movie and ends up a SciFi thriller. That was one of the first Hollyweird movies I saw that had a fairly realistic depiction of small unit tactics.
Stanley Kubrick nearly drove Shelley Duvall insane. He had the entire cast and crew avoid her, and if they had to interact they were told to be nasty to her. So by the time they started shooting the scenes where she was supposed to look frazzled, she wasn't acting, she's on her last nerve because they'd skull-fucked her.
Horrendous.
IMHO, Saw and Hostel are part of this 'modern' tendency to voyeurism. The storyline is secondary to the graphic torture (good writers are expensive and 'shock' is cheap). The Pit and the Pendulum, only without Poe's gift for drama. Reminds me of a Japanese art film (the name of which escapes me) about a hot young thing who lets a middle-aged man pick her up and take her home. Then she drugs him and proceeds to tie him up, let him awake, then cheerfully dismembers him (in graphic detail) with a wire survival saw. The storyline wasn't unlike Hard Candy, but the violence wasn't 'implied.'
I absolutely despise this rash of formulaic vampire/zombie/dystopian films we're in the midst of now. And they can't come up with new ideas, they just keep recycling old films. And most of the remakes are unmitigated shyte.
