Lupita in Us. Drew in Scream. Jamie in H20. Midsommar is overrated as hell.

everyone's already said my favourites so i'll submit a play - benedict cumberbatch and jonny lee miller were each fantastic in frankenstein. they used to broadcast it at the cinema every halloween, i'm hoping they do it again this year.
