Child's Play, because, as Tokyo has mentioned, Chucky just plain rules. :)
Evil Dead- All three films had a different approach to the material that made it fresh every time. They are all three different films in tone, yet they come together to represent horror cinema in nearly all it's forms: Serious, tongue in cheek and straight out hilarious B-territory.
Nightmare on Elm Street- It took the concept of the slasher film and injected some much needed imagination to the proceedings with the inventive dream sequences and the exploitation of the fear of the same.
Puppet Master, then again, we all should know that by now. haha! Mainly for David Allen's top notch stop-motion work, the design of the puppets and I just have a great love for the "Killer Toy" genre.
Subspecies- Radu alone puts this on my list, plus the great use of the Romanian setting, on location.
I'm sure there are some I'm leaving out, but those are my top favourites. :)
