    I've already mention Kwaidan in the Foreign Films thread, but I thought I would mention here as well.

    Kwaidan "Ghost Stories" (1965) - Masaki Kobayashi's horror anthology was nominated for a Best Foreign Film Academy Award. This is a wonderful collection of four ghost stories based on traditional Japanese folk tales. The sets are beautiful and the stories are all wonderful.
