Scream

1996, starring Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and Drew Barrymore.

A psychopath with an obsession for slasher flicks targets a past victims's daughter and her peers.

What is there to not love about this movie? Taking the rules of horror movies and putting them to the test! Wes Craven did a superb job with this one. Stereotype characters: the virgin most likely to survive, the provocatively dressed friend, the dumb cop, the annoying reporter desperate for answers, and the seemingly innocent boyfriend who might be crazy after all. Drew Barrymore's performance cannot ever be outdone, it was hers from the moment she was born. Talks of an upcoming MTV (groan) Scream TV series remaking that famous opening scene? I'm curious, but doubtful. 9/10.
