Yes, I completely agree!! I still love those films a lot, especially Halloween. They just end up at the end because I find the other films even better. I love every film on this list so far though.

But Jaws, Alien, and Halloween are masterpieces of suspense! Good list, Broken Blossoms is a masterwork.
