I wouldn't have said it if I didn't. What are you...new? ;)

Se7en is definitely a classic, and you just can't avoid other movies copying the classics.

I know too many people who just refuse to watch subtitled movies. Oh well...they don't know what they're missing unless they've at least had a taste...and most of them won't even bother doing that. They can go ahead and live on Big Macs while I dine on Walnut, Arugula, and Gorgonzola Crostini, Greens with Goat Cheese Croutons, and Chocolate Jalapeno Cake.

I can't think what may have influenced Donnie Darko other than the insight that introspective and complicated plotting was popular at the time. Perhaps M. Night Shyamalan could be accused of recreating that trend in Hollywood.

I think Donnie Darko was one of those "one every 5 year movies" that really stand out without having been influenced by a particular trend. I've never seen anything like Donnie Darko and doubt we will for a very long time. M. Night Shyamalan certainly revived the essence of the "twist" movie, however, in terms of filmaking he is just another replicator of Alfred Hitchcock only he does it better than any other filmaker i've seen.

Se7en was definately influential in both style and substance. Stylistically the cinematography, the dark-gritty sets, the tough detectives, the religious undertones and Kevin Spacey as one of the most frightening killers i've ever seen. The latest rip-off of Se7en which was so blatantly a rip-off it was laughable was Taking Lives with Angelina Jolie, just from the opening credits you can tell that the director had seen Se7en one too many times.


I have nothing more to say then just Agree, and say that was well put.......... very well put!

In terms of substance, I think Se7en saw the revival of serial killer movies and the movement away from gangster, mafia films. However, one can definately see a correlation between the two sub-genres in Se7en, the lighting, the gritty sets and the expose on the seedy underbelly of society is definately a trait most often associated with mob movies.

The Best movie love it, i also think it influenced saw on the whole teaching a lesson way to kill, i have a question does anybody know the name of that movie where i think 4 guys rob a bank and they are wearing the nixon masks or something like that i saw it a long time ago and cant remember the name

Point Break.... I think.

I still don't understand, what is this movie trying to prove?
