9. ‘Scary Movie’ (2000)

Keenen Ivory Wayans directs this parody that skewers late-’90s teen slashers and pop-culture touchstones. The ensemble includes Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans, and the film launched a multi-sequel comedy series.

Ivan Reitman directs this supernatural comedy about a trio of parapsychologists who start a ghost-removal business in New York City. Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Rick Moranis, the film became a cultural phenomenon upon its June 1984 release. It dominated the summer box office, spawned a multimedia franchise, and was added to the National Film Registry in 2015. The instantly recognizable theme song by Ray Parker Jr. also topped charts.

7. ‘Scream’ (1996)

Wes Craven’s meta-slasher follows Sidney Prescott and friends as a masked killer terrorizes Woodsboro while riffing on horror movie rules. Kevin Williamson’s screenplay re-energized the genre, and the cast includes Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, and more. The film grossed over $170 million worldwide and launched a long-running franchise with multiple sequels. Its self-aware structure and iconic opening made it a modern classic.
