The SAW Power Rankings is a recurring series where our team ranks a certain movie-related topic. Please feel free to comment on our rankings and provide a list of your own in the comments below.
With our Best of 2025 coverage in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look ahead at 2026 and what it has to offer us in terms of original movies.
