Scream is probably the only slasher besides Psycho and Halloween genuinely liked by fans and critics alike.

I think you pretty much nailed the Mt. Rushmore but I'd throw in Bride of Frankenstein as well.

I would say hereditary and midsommar.

Most people I talk to don't feel the same, but I was very bored for a good 60% of the movie

Not sure why you are being so defensive of this children's movie franchise
I'm sorry but you're just incorrect, the MCU is nothing more than a repetitive cash cow where they crank out the same basic movie over and over again. There is no overall story to it or any larger purpose other than to make money and sell merchandise, hence there is no real continuity.

I don't like horror movies, but Sixth Sense is unquestionably a great movie

Last scene in Call Me By your Name was TOO real. Mad acting skills there.

You Americans really ought to be banned from commenting on global threads - saves you embarrassing yourselves further.

Reply to Babylon (mixed feelings, help needed) by Ealiom
The movie was more than a bit of a mess (though i loved it). To me the film had a few simple messages (in addition to the history of hollywood stuff that i'll pass over for this comment)
-how people get sucked in and intoxicated by Hollywood/movie making
-how Hollywood uses, abuses, and largely destroys the people that get sucked in
-movies are freaking awesome, so is all this grossness and evil worth it in the name of the art? (i think Chazelle leaves this one as a question, but think his answer is yes)
I really enjoyed the Toby stuff, but the movie would have been much tighter without it all

>There is no real continuity, all it is is retelling the same basic story over and over again in every movie
Thank you for proving that you can't follow the continuity.
I already knew you couldn't, but you just confirmed it.
>You don't have to follow all the MCU movies to be able to watch any one of them. You can watch them out of order. They are designed this way
Wrong. They are designed so that they are enjoyable if you watch them individually. But if you watch them sequentially, in the order they came out, and you remember what happened before, then you will be rewarded with developing character arcs, relationships, worldbuilding, etc.
The fact that you don't know this (and won't even consider it) tells me you never even gave it a chance, you never will give it a chance, and you're upset that so many people enjoy something that you, for some reason, can't.

One of the biggest would probably be The Shining, if not the biggest. I know there’s one I’m forgetting, but another would be (depending on your definition of horror) Se7en, but I’m not sure if it counts

This is the correct list. I’d add the Ari Aster movies to this and maybe Get Out as recent ones.
