Even given the amount of crap, driven by the fact so many films in total were produced, the best of the best reveal something I personally found shocking- horror is back, and with a vengeance. Some of the best horror movies ever made come from the past 12 years.
If you eliminate the constant stream of inferior remakes, really bad direct to video drek, American remakes of foreign films, and such... the intelligent viewer can find a lot to like. I cut a lot of really good films from my list of 22.
The re-emergence of supernatural storylines, over slashers, is a contributing factor, IMO, as is the amount of quality international films, especially Asian cinema.
Horror is back on track, after some dismal times.

One of the main reasons why this thread
here assumes so much significance.
Big thanks to neverending for submitting the 3rd entry for the 2000s. I await plenty more!
And, all opinions for the 80s so far have been added. Keep them coming.
