I am guessing The Long Goodbye again, for today's reveal. Day late and a dollar short. "It's OK with me."
I'll guess Se7en unless six is afraid of it. Heyo!
The Long Goodbye
I'm switching back to Blade Runner as my guess for today. Probably wrong, but whatever.
Ok, anybody else?

Welcome to the human race...
le samourai was not on my ballot, but it definitely deserves to be top 10 on this list.

TRAILERS



Seven - Two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his motives.



List facts!



Seven is David Fincher's fourth entry in the countdown, after Zodiac (#30), Gone Girl (#34), and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (#83).

With 8.6, Seven is tied for the third highest IMDb ratings, along with The Silence of the Lambs.



Most people that know me, know that Seven is one of my favorite films of all-time. It is a film that I rented back in the mid-90s with a group of friends and it blew us all away. It was a unique experience to witness all our collective jaws on the floor as the last half hour rolled in. It was one of those formative films that showed me that films could be different, could be bleak, dark, and unrelenting. I've seen it a hundred times, I've written about it, recorded about it, so my love for it is well known and well documented. That said, I really didn't see it as neo-noir. As far as I'm concerned, it is a crime thriller, which is why I didn't include it on my list.
