People use the word "masterpiece" too much. According to IMDb, I've seen well over 3000 movies but I'd only consider maybe 7 of them masterpieces

The Strangers (2008) - One of if not the best horror films to come out in the 2000's. The haters can shut up! 🤣

I don't know how many total but two of my favorites that I personally consider masterpieces, particularly in their genre and era, are Psycho and Rosemary's Baby.

I agree with Psycho. I don't think there's really anything wrong with it.
