<strong>Title:</strong> Seven<br/>
<strong>Year:</strong> 1995<br/>
<strong>Director:</strong> David Fincher<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> Director <a href="/players/P____89783/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>David Fincher</a>'s dark, stylish thriller ranks as one of the decade's most influential box-office successes. Set in a hellish vision of a New York-like city, where it is always raining and the air crackles with impending death, the film concerns Det. William Somerset (<a href="/players/P____90514/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Morgan Freeman</a>), a homicide specialist just one week from a well-deserved retirement. Every minute of his 32 years on the job is evident in Somerset's worn, exhausted face, and his soul aches with the pain that can only come from having seen and felt far too much. But Somerset's retirement must wait for one last case, for which he is teamed with young hotshot David Mills (<a href="/players/P____56988/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Brad Pitt</a>), the fiery detective set to replace him at the end of the week. Mills has talked his reluctant wife, Tracy (<a href="/players/P____54871/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Gwyneth Paltrow</a>), into moving to the big city so that he can tackle important cases, but his first and Somerset's last are more than either man has bargained for. A diabolical serial killer is staging grisly murders, choosing victims representing the seven deadly sins. First, an obese man is forced to eat until his stomach ruptures to represent gluttony, then a wealthy defense lawyer is made to cut off a pound of his own flesh as penance for greed. Somerset initially refuses to take the case, realizing that there will be five more murders, ghastly sermons about lust, sloth, pride, wrath, and envy presented by a madman to a sinful world. Somerset is correct, and something within him cannot let the case go, forcing the weary detective to team with Mills and see the case to its almost unspeakably horrible conclusion. The moody photography is by <a href="/players/P____97321/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Darius Khondji</a>; the nauseatingly vivid special effects are by makeup artist Rob Bottin, best known for more fantasy-oriented work in films like <a href=/films/16249/default.aspx style='text-decoration:underline'>The Howling</a> (1981). ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> [quote user="Jagsfans"]I'm sure I have seen "Seven" at least 200 times since then.[/quote] If that's not hyperbole then that means you've spent over 17 and a half days of your life watching that movie.  That means if you don't watch it any more than you already have, and you live to be 70 years old you will have spent an average of one minute every day of your life watching the movie Seven.  That's more time than some people spend brushing their teeth I bet.  How old are you right now?  If you are only 30, then you've already spent an average of 2.3 minutes of your life per day watching it. So I guess you really like it!<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Owing in large part to tomes of modern serial-killer lore as The Silence of the Lambs and Se7en, Antibodies attempts to weave a twisted epilogue to such tales of woe in a visually alluring, yet bemusedly hackneyed way. Featuring a murderer with a stare that will produce nightmares in the most thick-skinned of horror fanatics, the film follows the events after his capture and the mysterious circumstances around a police inquiry into one of his victims. A slew of plot twists keep the dramatic tension palpable without flirting too much with the unbearably implausible - all leading to a barrage of revelations that will keep you guessing till the closing credits.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Uncannily similar to David Fincher's Se7en, Anamorph follows two detectives trying to piece together a string of elaborate murders that resemble the work of a supposedly dead serial killer from the past. Still traumatized by the events from the madman's first series of murders, Stan (Willem Dafoe) must piece together the puzzle before more innocent people die. Not the most original storyline, yet the use of anamorphosis as the killer's method of staging his murdered victims is rather captivating in that "wow-that-is-totally-f***ed-up-yet-kinda-cool" way. Unfortunately suffers from too many pointless flashbacks, unresolved character arcs and a general malaise from most of the characters that spreads to the viewer.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> [quote user="mercurial"] I&#39;ve been noticing for the past few years the increased lack of titles in films. I love the classic style of doing a title / credit sequence at the beginning of films, kinda what Woody does for most of his films.Anyways, some of my favorites are:1.) Se7en - Creepy as hell, incredibly inventive, awesomely remixed song and sets the mood for the entire film. Also has one of the best credit sequences that was also inventive (going backwards) and a great song.2.) American Psycho - With the drops of "blood" eventually being nothing more than raspberry sauce on a gourmet dessert: that&#39;s was awesome.3.) Dr. Strangelove - Completely original, disturbing (two planes "making love") and a beautiful score that grabs your attention.4.) Beetlejuice - The beautiful aerial shot that makes its way through the country town and up the hill to a house that "WTF! There&#39;s a giant tarantula, no wait, it&#39;s a miniature model of the house." That was cool.5.) Almost Famous - Simple, yet captures the heart of the film perfectly.[/quote] I completely forgot how much I loved the twisted title sequence of Ginger Snaps.http://www.artofthetitle.com/?tag=ginger-snapsPlayfully dark and really sets the mood for the rest of the film. <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Top 5 Antagonists: Human1.) Dazed and Confused - O&#39;Bannon - Ben Affleck&#39;s character takes the cake as the biggest a**hole and eventually gets what he deserves.2.) Mutiny on the Bounty - Captain Bligh - Sadistic and unflinchingly evil, Captain Bligh is undoubtedly one of cinemas most hated antagonists.3.) What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? - Jane - Bette Davis oozes nastiness from her caked on makeup to her hoarse, smokers voice.4.) Se7en - John Doe - The unseen serial killer in this film intensifies the terror and dread the viewer feels throughout this film, even more so when he reveals himself and his final acts of brutality.5.) Groundhog Day - Phil "like the groundhog!" Connors - Bill Murray is incredibly noxious for most of the film as a jaded weather man forced to relive the same day over and over again.Runner&#39;s Up: Strangeland, Misery, All About Eve, Man Bites Dog, Lemony Snicket&#39;s, Dogville  Top 5 Antagonists: Supernatural / Science Fiction1.)  The Wizard of Oz - The Wicked Witch of the West - Damn if that green-skinned witch isn&#39;t the meanest *itch in all of Oz and cinema.2.) Star Wars Trilogy - Darth Vader - Masked and menacing, Darth Vader is felt through each film even when he&#39;s not on screen.3.) Jaws - The Great White Shark - Only supernatural in it&#39;s damned ability to know what&#39;s going on in every inch of the ocean, the shark is one evil son of a *itch.4.) Halloween - Michael Myers - Again, masked and scary as hell, Michael Myers is the definition of a nightmare come to life.5.) Alien - The Alien - In my opinion, one of the creepiest monsters ever imagined.Runner&#39;s Up: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Poltergeist, Friday the 13th, Mommie Dearest (Joan Crawford must have had supernatural powers to be that wicked).  Top 5 Antagonists: Inanimate Objects1.) The Money Pit - The House -  Definitely one of the most aggravating movies where the main antagonist really does nothing but sits there (and continues to fall apart).2.) Speed - The Bus - You try to keep your cool while maintaining the speed limit in L.A. traffic!3.) Cube - The Cube - Murderous booby-traps aplenty, room after room after room after room after room after room after room etc.4.) Maximum Overdrive - The Machines - When those damned semis went crazy, they really went crazy.5.) Modern Times - The Machines - Again, those damned machines getting a mind of their own. <br/>

The Wizard of Oz - The Wicked Witch of the West - Damn if that green-skinned witch isn&amp;#39;t the meanest *itch in all of Oz and cinema.2.) Star Wars Trilogy - Darth Vader - Masked and menacing, Darth Vader is felt through each film even when he&amp;#39;s not on screen.3.) Jaws - The Great White Shark - Only supernatural in it&amp;#39;s damned ability to know what&amp;#39;s going on in every inch of the ocean, the shark is one evil son of a *itch.4.) Halloween - Michael Myers - Again, masked and scary as hell, Michael Myers is the definition of a nightmare come to life.5.) Alien - The Alien - In my opinion, one of the creepiest monsters ever imagined.Runner&amp;#39;s Up: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Poltergeist, Friday the 13th, Mommie Dearest (Joan Crawford must have had supernatural powers to be that wicked).  Top 5 Antagonists: Inanimate Objects1.) The Money Pit - The House -  Definitely one of the most aggravating movies where the main antagonist really does nothing but sits there (and continues to fall apart).2.) Speed - The Bus - You try to keep your cool while maintaining the speed limit in L.A. traffic!3.) Cube - The Cube - Murderous booby-traps aplenty, room after room after room after room after room after room after room etc.4.) Maximum Overdrive - The Machines - When those damned semis went crazy, they really went crazy.5.) Modern Times - The Machines - Again, those damned machines getting a mind of their own. </spout:body></item>

<strong>Body:</strong> 1. Peter Lorre&#39;s character - M - Great performance, creepy character, whisteling that tune over and over in my dreams 2. The Lone Biker of the Apocalypse - Raising Arizona - satirical and scary as hell at the same time3. Benoit Benoit Poelvoorde - Man Bites Dog - how could you not love this guy?4. Hannible Lecter - Silence of the Lambs - when he puts that guy&#39;s face on as a mask was my favorite scene. 5. Kevin Spacey&#39;s character - Seven - very similar to his character in The Usual Suspects but add the psycotic murdering funtime.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> [quote user="Risselada"] I can understand why you would want to make a point if it if you were referring to a suggestion of a director or movie that someone has already named.  You did name Fight Club, although I dont&#39; think anyone mentioned David Fincher yet.  But you could be guessing that people haven&#39;t named him because a lot of people might already consider Fight Club to be his masterpiece and you wanted to refute that.  Do you think he has the potential to make a better movie though?I really think that Fincher could create something better....I mean, Fight Club was amazing, I fricken love that movie, but he has the potential to create something better.  I mean, Zodiac was very good, and so was Seven, but I still think Fight Club is the best of the bunch.  His style is very good, and if I&#39;m not mistaken, I think that Curious Case of Benjamin Button has a lot of promise.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Here is my list, although it is a bit different in that the list allows only one Film from each of the 31 years, which believe me, limits the choices; for instance 1986:  The FlyFrom BeyondHenry: Portrait of a Serial KillerThe HitcherInvaders from MarsManhunterNomadsVamp1987 is just as hardI am working on another one, which is just my 31 favorites regardless of how many a year. These choices listed,  fit my definition of horror. They are horrifying and extremely unsettling, but may not be, in the strictest sense, horror. but well, here it is. Oh, I also did not not include the Alien films which although &#39;monster goes boo!&#39;, even though I love every one of them, fall somewhere in the realm of Science Fiction to me...enough gibberish, here it is:By the way, I want &#39;Mommie Dearest&#39; to be No. 1, but that is another story.Years 1976 through 2007 ( the Spout year listings are a bit different than Wikipedia&#39;s which I used )          31.         1984      A Nightmare on Elm Street              30.         1994      Natural Born Killers  29.         2004      Dawn of the Dead    28.         2003      Texas Chainsaw Massacre  27.         2005      Sin City        26.         1993      Army of Darkness   25.         1998      Fallen           24.         1983      Videodrome             23.         2006      Fido             22.         1996      The Frighteners  21.         2007      Zodiac  20.         2000      Crimson Rivers        19.         2001      Frailty         18.         2002      28 Days Later          17.         1990      Jacob&rsquo;s Ladder         16.         1988      The Vanishing  15.         1995      Se7en           14.         1989      Shocker       13.         1976      The Tenant  12.         1977      Rabid           11.         1987      Hellraiser     10.         1985      Re-Animator              9.         1981      The Howling              8.         1979      Nosferatu      7.         1978      Halloween      6.         1986      The Hitcher    5.         1991      The Silence of the Lambs       4.         1982      The Thing      3.         1992      Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me    2.         1997      Lost Highway             1.         1999      Audition                 <br/>
