What, in your opinion, is the scariest film ever made?

Are you talking about the Japanese original, or the American remake? I've only seen the Japanese one, and the bit where the girl came out of the screen was the only bit I found scary. Freaked the shit out of me.

I only saw the American one, I wanted to see the Japanese version for a little while after seeing the remake. I would bet that the execution of that particular scene was just not as good in the US one.

My mother took me to the movies with her when I was a kid.
At 3 she took me to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Yes the original, I'm that old). And at 5 she took me to see Jaws.
I was terrified at both on a level that was never equaled again. Though I will say that Halloween 2 scared the bejesus out of me when I was 12. Michael Myers was a scary MF - period.
As for cheesy - I enjoy them immensely.

I've never been outright scared by a movie. I don't watch horror movies often, but a couple times I was scared in the aftermath of watching a movie.
The Ring only scared me due to circumstance. I was working at a Circuit City Express (Basically a mall boutique version of the chain) and the mall was absolutely dead. The assistant manager decided the three of us working should watch the Ring on the big screen at the front of the store. I decided to be a dick and went out back to "go to the bathroom." I called the store with my cell phone to pull the whole "seven days" shit (Which worked a little, as the A.M. didn't know I had a cell phone). My manager was pissed off that I freaked him out so bad, so he elected me for trash duty that night. I get a little freaked out by silence (Part of why I enjoy living in the city) and it was about the most quiet night I'd ever taken trash out on. The problem arose on my way back into the building, walking up the stairs I tripped on a step and before I could catch myself, the ring I wore was knocked off my hand, rolled for a second and then just dropped right in front of me, almost mockingly. Suffice to say, after watching a movie focusing around the line "they say you see the ring before you die," this incident was rather unnerving.
I watched the Grudge for the first time while I had a live-in girlfriend. She was a big fan of horror flicks and talked me into watching it. Later that night, I was woken up by our pitbull growling at something. My girlfriend seemed to be fast asleep and I'd only ever seen our dog growl a handful of times. Then I heard the little gurgling sound from the aforementioned movie and was a bit freaked out for a minute. The girlfriend had set me up bad. She had waited until I went to sleep (I'm a heavy sleeper, but there are a few select things that will wake me up a bit) and started a CD she'd recorded the gurggling sound to and then blew one of those high pitched dog whistles to freak out the dog. She got a good laugh and I discovered that women are conniving beasts. I managed to get vindication when I found out she had an irrational fear of zombies and took advantage of that in the basement of the big-ass hotel she worked in.

Silent Hill was pretty lame. Some of the effects were cool, like when the darkness would fall, and that butcher dude, and all the weird stuff would happen. Also, the treatment of the little girl, and the cult and stuff within the town that brought about Silent Hill's fate was pretty intriguing. But it really wan't a scary movie. That's coming from one of the most chicken shit dudes on the planet.
In all honesty, I have yet to see a movie that has scared the shit out of me. The medium that has scared me the most in the horror genre I think would either be the novel The Amityville Horror or some of the creatures and scenery in Diablo II. The atmosphere in that game, as well as the setting of Doom 3 creeps me out. Being stuck on a super high tech space station with demons and shit everywhere, and all the equipment malfunctioning and people turning into zombies. CREEPY.
