Hmmm, this is a tricky one. I'll base my list on a definition of 'goth movie' as a film that is in tune with the goth mind set and/or the goth aesthetic. Of course, I'll only include films I've actually seen.

1. Pan's Labyrinth
2. Ed Wood
3. Dark City
4. The Crow
5. The City of Lost Children
6. Alien (the original)
7. Hellraiser ( I, II and III)
8. Sin City (I and II)
9. Immortal
10. Bram Stoker's Dracula

I'm not a big fan of vampire movies (or novels) especially the crassly commercial offerings of Ms Rice et al. Whilst I love all the early (30s - 60s) monster films, I think their makers where not in tune with the goth mind set - Ed Wood (the man as distinct from the film) might be an exception here. Only after the late 70s did movie makers began to tap into the embyonic but growing goth aesthetic in my opinion. By the time Tim Burton came along, well, we could just about fill in the whole list with his films alone.
