I decided that from all the movies I've watched, I would choose the one I think it's the best, I'll try to be objective but it's probably going to be attached to my personal preferences and likes.
I'm going to do a small summary of all the movies, maybe a couple of sentences, I watched and then tell the one that was my favourite.
It's going to be mostly horror movies or something related because I'm going over the ones that are supposed to be the best horror movies, and honestly, I love horror movies.
Here they are:
The bad seed (1956)

Her husband, a famous pianist, suffers a train accident and he is going to lose his hands, but she resorts to the doctor who transplants the hands of a serial killer to the husband. The doctor tries everything to get the love of the actress, even trying to make the husband crazy.

There they meet a couple of sisters, one of whom is a clairvoyant. The daughter of the couple is trying to warn them of something meanwhile the father starts to have weird visions and accidents.
Nightwatch (1994)

Black Sunday (1960)

Return of the living dead (1985)

The cat and the canary (1978)
The heirs of an old rich man come back after 20 years of his dead to see the movie he made as his last will. Throughout the night they discover a killer had escaped from a sanatorium and starts to kill the inhabitants of the house.
Village of the Damned (1960)
On different places of the world, the people of some towns faint suddenly, without any reason. Later, some of the women discover they are pregnant. The babies grow up faster than normal humans, they are smarter and have some weird and dangerous powers. 
It's actually pretty hard to choose just one movie because almost all of them were pretty good and they are all from different countries and decades, so it's hard to compare them even if they all are horror movies.
I think I would go either for The cat and the canary or the Village of the Damned.
What I like about the first one is the pulp fiction vibe it has, it reminds me a little bit of Agatha Christie's Ten little Niggers (although that one is even better) and the twist at the end.
About the Village of the Damned, although I think the plot has been used lots of times (Who would kill a child? Children of the corn. Etc) I like this version mostly because of the ending of the movie.
I actually recommend most of this movies, although the As the Gods will looks like there should be a second part, so maybe you want to wait because I'm sure there will be, and if you're not into surrealism, don't watch Eraserhead, it's really weird.
