The Sentinel: For a very ordinary director, Michael Winner managed to deliver some moments of real directing genius. The Sentinel is one of those movies that just oozes atmosphere. Unsettling atmosphere, genuinely creepy and uncomfortable horror with a really fine ensemble of supporting actors. Beautifully insidious undertone to the whole movie, underappreciated classic of the genre.

Totally agree. I've already backed this one, and assume the Sentinal is part of the 4-horse race because it has two backings?
I'l also back Burnt Offerings.
[edit]:
Also, I hate to do this because I know it's not the right time yet, but I'm going to be busy for the next couple days and might not be able to check in. For honorable mentions, I'll back:
Deep Red
The Brood
Magic
King Kong
Straw Dogs
