Last year I did this for the first time on livejournal, but I kinda did it by memory so I kept it to 10 and 3 honorable mentions. This year, I've been keeping track all year. Thus: 24 and 6 honorable mentions. I'll try to keep it quick. Number doesn't matter too much as half this order could change depending on the day. Mostly its just that they're on the list that's important.  I've also cut a bunch of movies that were on this list out to focus on horror, so you wont find these other movies on the list:  Iron Man, Hancock, Juno, The Dark Knight (which was originally no. 12).

Honorable Mentions:

Disturbia- I like this movie a lot, I really do. Good tension...but I gotta say...I can suspend disbelief a lot. But not enough that I'll buy that Shia Labeouf's next door neighbor will make out with him after he admits to spying on her, no matter how he words it.
This Film is Not Yet Rated- A great documentary that ALL movie fans need to see.
ZA: Zombies Anonymous (aka: Last Rites of the Dead)- Refreshing spin on the zombie subgenre whose only flaw is that certain scenes were cut out that might explain the buildup to the ending better.

Hellboy and Hellboy 2: The Golden Army: Both the movies are great, but they have minor pacing issues and also threaten to collapse under their own dark storylines (particularly the first one).

Mother of Tears: I appear to be in the minority in thinking that this is an honorable ending to the Three Mothers Trilogy. I think other critics need to realize he's never gonna be back to his Suspiria days and deal with the change. As it is, the movie is out of its mind with gore and insanity and cheesy scripting. It's biggest flaw is that, I'm sorry Dario, but your daughter can't act her way out of a paper bag.

Top 22:

22) Deep Red/Profondo Rosso: Speaking of Dario Argento's glory days...great detective story with plenty of twists and turns. Bright colors and darkly beautiful murder setpieces.
21) From Beyond: Crazy sexual horror sci-fi from Stuart Gordon and Jeffrey Combs.
20) Wizard of Gore Remake: This isn't the perfect movie, but the performances of Crispin Glover, Jeffrey Combs, and Kip Pardue make this movie better than just another remake. Story gets a little confusing, but the atmosphere makes up for it.
19) John Carpenter's The Thing: A classic. I get the feeling I'd place this higher if I hadn't heard so much about it beforehand. Great movie.
17) Hostel: Part II: The major reason I like the Hostel and Saw movies is psychology. And if there's one thing the second Hostel nails, its the psychology of the hunters. For me, I can isolate the tortures and puzzles of the two series, and segregate them from the rest. If you can handle it, I recommend it. Plus, Hostel II has a feministic slant almost in its ending which is kinda refreshing.
17) Tales from the Crypt: Old-fashioned British horror. Subtlety, tension, and twist endings straight out of EC that some directors could learn from.
16) The Frighteners: Where other people worship at Peter Jackson's altar for Lord of the Rings, I choose to bow for his horror movies. This, combined with Dead Alive and Bad Taste, makes for brilliant watching. (And it proves that Jake Busey is a nowhere near as much of an idiot as his brother Gary.) Michael J. Fox is also great. Brilliant blend of horror and comedy as usual.
15) The Return of the Living Dead: Last year I put ROTLD 3 on my list and I still consider it one of my favorite movies. I also said I'd seen parts of this at the time. Now I've seen it all, and I think it's one of the great forgotten horror movies of the 80s and I'm thankful it's starting to get its due.
14) The Craft: One of the many reasons Fairuza Balk is one of my favorite actresses. A movie with great performances and good effects that is one of the more faithful, more sympathetic portrayals of witchcraft and teen life (respectively) I've seen.
13) Hell's Ground (Zibahkhana): A brilliant riff on Texas Chainsaw Massacre and other slashers from Pakistan that feels fresh and original because of the cultural spin.
12) They Live: A great Roddy Piper sci-fi b-movie with classic scenes and campy lines that's still relevant 20+ years later.
11) (tie)Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead: NOTLD is the better movie, but both are still great pieces of horror social commentary.
10) 13: Game of Death: Asian flick filled with twists and turns and suspense that's a perfect fit for the modern climate of Reality TV.
9) Repo: The Genetic Opera: This will be the next Rocky Horror Picture Show, mark my words. Campy b-movie musical greatness, warts and all.
9) An American Werewolf In London: Another great blend of horror and comedy. I've seen bits and pieces for years, but this was the first time I think I watched it beginning to end.
7) The Ruins: The opening might be a bit trying, but some of the effects and the feeling of panic make it great. Best wide-release straight horror film of the year.
6) Slime City: Pure, badly scripted, low-budget, campy, b-movie fun. It's a shame it's so unheard of.
5) Phantasm: I'd seen a lot of this movie before, but I've never sat down and watched it all at once I think. A really good, underrated horror/sci-fi blend.  Barely made the list since I finished watching it the 31st.
4) Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Outside of the fact that the little kid in it is INSANELY annoying, the action is perfect and its the one movie I know of where Arnold actually figures what acting is. Outstanding.  I wouldn't put it on here, but Monsters HD was airing it and its predecessor, so whaddya gonna do.
3) Perfume: Story of a Murderer: Contrary to what one might think, this is not really a horror movie. It's more of an atmospheric dramatic mystery that...just so happens to involve someone killing beautiful women. I have never seen a movie convey the idea of scent as well as this movie does.
2) Frailty: If there's one thing I love, its a movie that combines horror, suspense, mystery, and a statement about religious fundamentalism. With a great twist. Fantastic.
1) (tie)Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead and The Toxic Avenger: I heard of Troma for the first time a few years ago when I saw their table at a convention. I also saw the first crazily tasteless 5 minutes of Poultrygeist there. In May, I went to a special screening of it, and I've been obsessed ever since. The best of Lloyd Kaufman's movies are deranged melanges of horror, comedy, and gore. I wish more people could appreciate their twisted, deranged sense of humor, but until then, I'll just enjoy head crushings, great jokes, over-the-top crazy violence and more by myself.
