I think you and me were the only ones who had Se7en at #1 in our lists, considering it didnt make it into the top 10.

Though for the life of me, I cant understand Nightmare on Elm Street beating Se7en, TCM and the Shining. Someone better give me a good explanation of that.

I had 7 at 2...


There might be someone who wants an explanation of why Psycho is back at 13 or why you don't have The Wicker Man ect. ect. It's just a bunch of different opinions thrown together.

Why is Seven being considered a horror movie?

More Detective/Crime Thriller, I would have thought.

..serial killer movies belong in the horror genre...even "Silent of the Lambs" .....even if its more like a thriller

L.A. Confidential and The Usual Suspects are more conventional detective/crime thrillers, but when films are done in the manner of 7 and Silence of the Lambs, it's more of a horror/drama. Horror, like other genres, have subgenres.

I think it's moving the goalposts a little too much so far as Seven as Silence of the Lambs go.

Yeh I agree. Those films are more in the territory of "psychological thriller" for me. Horror is a lot more gratitious when dealing with the subject matter (i.e Maniac, Deranged and Dressed To Kill). They definatley have elements of horror and are championed by genre fans but to me they aren't horror films.

Just a matter of opinion I guess.
