And if you were to poll the horror community, Halloween would take it by a long shot.

Looks like a fairly major misinterpretation here. I did not see anyone call you stupid. I did see someone question your credibility on the basis of your preferences. See the difference?

Imagine you have a friend who insists that Dude, Where's My Car? is the greatest American film ever. Wouldn't that cause you to think twice about trusting this person's future recommendations? This is what the original poster seemed to mean in reference to your credibility.

When you credibility was questioned, you immediately turned to personal insults (i.e., bitch). Have you read the post you referenced about not launching personal attacks?

Back on topic, Suspiria is one of my personal favorites. Has a soundtrack that fits the movie beautifully and it plays with your mind. Without the soundtrack, I don't think the movie would have been as good.

That last 20 minutes is as good as it gets in horror. Also did anyone notice the shadow that predicts the death of the blind guy? It is up on the wall... Very cool...

You're right. If I were to go on a huge forum like Bloody-Disgusting, Halloween would still win. Why? Because it's the better, more liked movie. You'd have to be an idiot to think any different.

Did I negate this? That argument is complete bullshit. Like any film you want to like, but if you like Scream more than Halloween, just know that you are in the minority.

What does money have to do with anything? Jesus, are you up to par here? Has anyone even mentioned money? Now that you mention it though, when including inflation, Halloween made more than Scream.

[swiss tony]

fair point mcilroga. scream made double what the omen made. in terms of quality product the omen is light years ahead. scream is just a fun movie. also, i think inflation would show a more than times three increase in revenue. so omen for example would gross $162m, which would bring up to third.which means the exorcist would be by far the highest grossing.
