4. Scream

Scream is great because makes an excellent slasher film while satirizing the entire horror genre. Scream acknowledges all of the classic horror stereotypes and then debunks them by letting the non-virgin heroine live, and plays off our logic that there can be only one killer. Jamie Kennedy is excellent comic relief as the horror movie geek, Randy. Excellent directing by Wes Craven who will always be a legend in the genre. The opening sequence is scary because you think that Drew Berrymore is a big star and is therefore safe, but that is not the case. Plus everyone has that one horror movie that scared them when they were a kid and for me that was Scream.
