Favorite CLASSIC horror-film?

Quite possibly, at least in terms of "mainstream" (meaning not abysmally obscure) cinema. The social/political subtext in Romero's films is definitely one of the things I like about them. That said, I also appreciate that it's relatively subtle and indirect. In other words, it doesn't come across as preachy or contrived.

Yes, and he manages to cover many social-issues even via using many standard concepts. Have you ever seen MARTIN?

Suspiria (1977). A beautiful nightmare in technicolor. The best and most scary 15 minutes I have ever seen in a movie, and an amazing perfect end.

Inferno.

For sure for me: A Nightmare on Elm Street, with Freddy Kruger

I love all the different parts!
