I haven’t seen “One Missed Call” (nor do I have plans to) but the other three were all pretty good, in my opinion.
“Cloverfield” was probably my favorite - even though a LOT of people hated it for the entirely handheld camerawork (but I imagine that will be more tolerable on a smaller screen.) In my opinion, it’s simply a darn entertaining monster movie - nothing more, nothing less. Among all of these, it’s probably the only one that I’d consider watching again.
“Charlie Wilson’s War” was entertaining and intelligent, with some excellent acting - but in the end it felt to me like it was “missing something.”
And “The Orphanage” was one of the more effective horror films I’ve seen in a while. And if you’re worried about the rating, know that it’s very mild for an R-rated horror film and is absolutely nothing like the torture porn that is so popular these days. Like most great horror (imo) it relies more on atmosphere and suspense than cheap scares and gore. (Although if you don’t like subtitles be aware that the whole film is in Spanish.)
So I’d say these three are all worth watching, depending on what you’re in the mood for.

I think “Charlie Wilson’s War” has the best ratings, but I am personally looking forward to watching “Cloverfield”.
