The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

No one in the world needs to be told that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an important movie, but sometimes you need to be reminded that it's a good movie. A van full of teens is on a roadtrip into the vast empty stretches of Texas, and they find themselves wrapped up in the murderous affairs of a family of cannibals... and their mute hatchetman Leatherface. And you'll never guess what weapon he uses.

It was a great deal of fun to look back at an undeniable classic and find that it holds up and is still incredibly spooky. Give it a shot if you haven't already.
