5. Se7en

Se7en is yet another psychological thriller.  I am obsessed with these kinds of movies but especially Se7en.  Se7en has a unique twist to it; it incorporates religion into the movie, specifically the seven deadly sins.  These seven deadly sins were basically seven murders that had to do with Pride, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Anger, Greed, and Sloth.  The serial killer picks specific people who exhibit one of these attributes listed above and kills them in a precise fashion.  For example the first was Gluttony and the serial killer killed him by forcing him with a gun pointed at his head to eat until his stomach literally exploded.  I loved this movie because the religion aspect of it actually made sense.  It isn’t like other religious type movies where they just try and incorporate god or whatever into the movie by adding one biblical scene.  This movie was based on religion.  The killer in the movie thought he was justified in what he was doing because he was doing god’s work for him and killing people who exhibited the deadly sins to an extreme.  At the end of the movie the killer has a box with “Brad Pitts” wife’s head in it.  He is face to face with the killer and the killer says to him “I took a souvenir this morning, I showed envy this morning.”  The whole psychological part is that the whole time the killer wanted someone to kill him because he envied a normal life so much.  The movie was just fantastic.  The first time I saw it I was blown away.  Some quotes from the movie I liked were “David if you kill him, he will win” “Fuckin' Dante... poetry-writing faggot! Piece of shit, motherfucker!” “He's experienced about as much pain and suffering as anyone I've encountered, give or take, and he still has Hell to look forward to.” “What sick ridiculous puppets we are / and what gross little stage we dance on / What fun we have dancing and fucking / Not a care in the world / Not knowing that we are nothing / We are not what was intended.”
