Arachnophobia (1990) - I thought Arachnophobia was an excellent film, both scary, well shot and originally funny (Goodman), and also highly rated.

Jurassic Park (1993) - I really enjoyed Jurassic Park. Has strong horror elements. Not a prefect film by any means, but brought the wonder and horror of dinosaurs back to big screen in a real heavy hitting visceral experience. Spielberg is good.
Arachnophobia is good, I will consider backing it for honorable mention. As I have mentioned, I cast a wide net for what is a horror movie, but in this case I disagree. I think that the horror in Jurassic Park is not strong enough, so I group it as science fiction. That is the only reason I have not backed this film. In reality, it is one of my all-time favorite films (definitely top ten), but I just do not consider it horror.
