It has to be The Shining
People tend to say that horror films are only meant to scare you and they prefer films which makes you think hard with overused scripts and a lot of actors. but the goal of Kubrick in The Shining was to set an atmosphere that is so unlike other films, in The Shining the atmosphere and the build up is so tense that in some scenes you do not need all the boring blah blah blah you do not need all of that because the picture is already sending you a deep message and allows you to interpret the scene at any intellectual levels, the film forces the audience to play a part. Some scenes in the Shining without the dialogue or with very little talking are so effective that you feel concerned and even dragged into the story. In reality Kubrick was really the best because he favored the atmosphere over anything else, that's the first thing you think when you think about Kubrick.
