Cannily crammed with the likes of Neve, Courteney and Skeet (if these names seem meaningless, you're just in an obsolete demographic) and directed with twisted bravura by the incomparable Wes Craven, Scream became the highest grossing horror movie ever, reviving the moribund slasher genre and lifting its author into Hollywood's screenwriting elite.

...Netanyahu looks as if he may emerge from the scandal, U.S. officials are worried that his escape from indictment will make him even more dependent on the right-wing supporters who stood by him, making any negotiations with the Palestinians extremely difficult.
