2. Saw

The original Saw is simply excellent due to the best surprise ending in horror movie history. I don't want to divulge the ending because the twist made this movie an elite thriller. In fact the first three films of the Saw series are the best trilogy in horror history. In recent years the surprise twist ending that separates the Saw films the rest of the garbage horror films released today have become weaker (See Saw V). Outside of the great ending the first film actually has a fantastic plot. The first Saw raises the question: What will you do to stay alive and save you family? In a twisted way it tries to teach its audience to be thankful for the good things in their life and not take them for granted. The Saw series is the saving grace in a period of weak horror films that go more for the gross out than a plot and a scare.
