My Top 12 List Explanations
 ***WARNING SPOILERS BELOW!** *and rememeber ***THESE ARE MY OPINIONS!*** 

I have created this list. And since I can't find a place to explain why each is so important to me personally, I posted it on my Profile and as a comment. (I recommend that you read it here, it looks weird on the comment page, and this one is better edited. P.S. The content of what was ranked is bolded). To me, these are the moments that made Scream a phenomenon and what helped it redefine the genre and spawn 3 spectatular sequels that keep it alive! So, let's begin, shall we?

1. The opening could have been the whole movie itself. I mean, it redefined the horror genre opening.

Notable quote:
Casey Becker: "Why do you wanna know my name?"

''The Killer: " 'Cause I wanna know who I'm looking at..." ''Tell me that still doesn't scare the sh*t out of you!!

2. The ending is perfect with a mix of comedy (great improv!), violence, a telling of the horror genre from the killers POV, shocking revelations, and personal vendetta, the ending is just great!

3.Sid out-running the killer again is metaphoric. As Randy stated in his famous "Rules for Surviving a Horror Movie", only virgins can out-smart the killer, but Sidney does. Only maybe hours after she loses it, she proves herself. It also comes to show that Sidney's innonce has been broken not only by sex but by standing up to the killers and eventually killing them.

4. The Rules for Surving a Horror Movie are famous and pretty darn accurate! (Except for #3 above, hehe). But, if you look back at past horror movies, you'd note that Randy's right!

5. The first time Sid out runs the Killer is a contradiction to herself (running up the stairs, not out the door, etc.) and also teaches her not to trust anyone (Billy breaks in with a Cell-phone intact).

Also, I love when Sidney's home alone. With the incredible score, her lamenting on her mom's death, and with the killings going on, their is a stillness surrounding the house - you can feel it. It's perfect!

6. Tatum's death is iconic. Not just because of the nipple shot, but because the word 'Ghostface itself ''is born! ''' There goes 3 more sequels and a CLASSIC new killer in the same line with the legends Freddy Kruger, Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers.The name now gives the killer a new life (no pun intended). Tatum is also a GREAT example of what basically not to do when face-to-face with a maniac killer.

7.Stu's Party is the best horror movie party ever, thrown by the killers! Is that sweet or what?!? Ok, it's just me, but it is the perfect teen party: Sex, Booze and horror movies (and a dead principal!)

8. Billy shows up after killing Sid's BFF Tatum, and they go upstairs to talk. After grueling days of  being distant from her Boyfriend, because of a shocking discovery that turned out "wrong", and since Billy's been so patient about "having a sexually anorexic girlfriend", Sid decides to let him in, in more ways than one. Prolific event. (See #3)

9. The video store confrontation with Billy, Stu, and Randy is one of my favs. We see Billy flirting with two girls in the horror section right after he was arrested for killing two people, "in poor taste." We see half the whole town buying scary movies excited, if you will, about the new murders, because we get the sense that nothing ever happens in Little Ol' Woodsboro. We see Randy's profound knowledge on the horror film genre is once again right (In any case, listen to the nerd! In the first Scream, I mean ;) ). And Matt Lillard manages to steal scenes with his ridiculous facial expressions and funny phrases!

10.The gang at the fountain sat with me for a long time, them discussing the killings and comparing them to pop culture and the sexism they have against serial killers is a knockout, Kevin Williamson is a BRILLIANT writer. But now that I think about that sexism thing, that really isn't a bad thing. Plus, we also get a glimpse at whose the killer & "LIVER alone" will never get old!

11. I don't know about you, but I thought Dewey was the killer on like, hmm, 3 occasions. One, when he held the mask up at Sid's door with the hilarious scream (I thought it was clever foreshadowing).Two, when he answered the phone when Sid received a call from the killer at Tatum\Dewey's house with a mysterious "Hello". Three, when he asked Gale to walk with him and the movie's score strikes up along with Gale's worried face!... *Breathe* WHEW! Man, that still has me questioning my self. And isn't Dewey the greatest character?

12. The town in panic also sits with me. With Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" playing in the background, and the town frantically running around before the curfew, it had me wondering. It showed a small, sleepy American town being disturbed by one (well, two) of it's own, Classic. But half the town, seemingly the younger crowd, seems to be glorifying the murders by buying scary movies, attending parties, and staying past the town's curfew, than actually showing remorse that 2 of their classmates and their principal has been gutted. This is amazing to me.

Well, that's my explanation, please feel free to write comments and your own explanations because I would love to read them! I love Scream and the franchise soooo much, and it's great to have collective enregy with ALL of the Scream fans! Thanks! E.ditE.dit C. 18:01, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
