It's really really good and it definitely holds up well and I need to rewatch it because it was actually really prescient in depicting how quickly we now turn trauma and tragedy into spectacle. (It opens with a movie theatre playing an in universe movie based on the events of the first film).
Scream 2. Especially in terms of its deconstruction of the genre and self-awareness. It's never really been done better since.
Also Aliens. You can argue all day whether it was better or worse than Alien but it's still horror and it's still a great movie.
