Neon Maniac
My list is pretty much fully inline with yours (a few different, but you didn't list a film I didn't enjoy).
Had to give you specific props on listing "Wes Craven's New Nightmare." While it has a few hiccups, it's one of the most interesting movies in the horror genre I've ever seen...and I don't know why it doesn't get more love. That said I love the campy NOES Freddy, but "New Nightmare" was as bold as "Scream" in my eyes.
I don't know why this movie didn't get more attention...it was a bit too long and some of the effects haven't aged well, but it was overall fantastic and, like "Scream," was self-aware enough to be out-of-left-field enough to stand out. "New Nightmare" always felt like a sort of 'proto-Scream' to me.
