I love The Ring and agree it's a fantastic mystery/thriller, with some horror elements and a heavy dose of dread thrown in. I think its initial popularity with teens, bad sequels and status as a remake prevent it from getting much love, but I would argue it's so different from the original Japanese film on almost every level (aside from its core plot) that it's really its own thing. I also agree that it's the film that captures the color palette and vibe of the Seattle winter better than any other!
I second the other folks recommending Alfred Hitchcock's films. Also, The Watcher in the Woods and Something Wicked This Way Comes are good beginner films.
I started with Alfred Hitchcock movies as a kid. Why my parents thought a 12 year old watching Psycho I'm not sure... But he's not a bad starting point (problematic personal life aside)
