Not once have I said that Scream is better than Scarface! I've not even been focusing on Scarface. I think it's overrated because it is held in such high regard and people seem to make their mind up before even seeing it and know that it's a 'cool' choice as a favourite film, but it certainly is not a bad film by any means.

Like I said, it's nothing personal, just the way I felt about the situation based on past experiences and the fact that you didn't fully explain yourself until after you read other people's posts.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I won't be losing any sleep over it as I'm sure you won't.

A claim based on what? Within its genre, Scream has had more influence over the next few landmark films in the horror genre than Scarface in the gangster genre. Scream’s post modernist tone was present and had evolved somewhat through The Blair Witch Project and Saw (the next two landmarks). The next two gangster landmarks were Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction. Goodfellas was heavily inspired by The Godfather and Pulp Fiction re-wrote the rulebook with a post-modernist approach of its own.

Feel free to back up your claims through.
