Star Wars must been seen in theatre.

Like I said before no film has to be seen in the theatre although SOME films I guess you could say deserve to be seen in the theatre. I was lucky enough to see Star Wars in the theatre after it's release a number of years ago but I like it all the same on dvd.

the film is the same wether on a 40 foot screen or a 7in screen

nice, I disagree with the either parts but still nice.

Is Seven really a horror movie? It seems more like a "action drama"

I guess you could be right but I kinda look at it as psycological horror.

yes

1.The Shining
2.Session 9
3.Pit and the Pendulum
4.The Abominable Dr. Phibes
5.Silence of the Lambs
6.Night of the Living Dead
7.Dog Soldiers
8.Last Man on Earth
9.Dracula [1931]
10.Evil Dead

A lot of people love Session 9. I agree its fucking great. I just didn't think it would be in so many peoples top 10

I'm replacing Night of the Living Dead with Silence of the Lambs, can't believe I forgot about it.

Doubtlessly the best horror movie of the last few years, IMO.

What!? dude, night of the living dead is the original. That should be in everyone top ten.

then I'll leave it up to you, what should I take out then?

I don't know. its your list. I think your list was fine the way it was. thats all I am saying

I guess Silence of the Lambs will just have to take the 11 spot from now on because I saw Kairo a couple weeks ago and thought it was great, the list wasn't in order but if it were Kairo would be 10th and it's not coming off the list(for now anyway) so for the first time since '94 Silence of the Lambs is no longer on my top ten list.

Which kinda contradicts my all-time movie list but hey nothing's perfect.

I don't really consider movies like Se7en or Silence of the Lambs "horror". (Although Hannibal is much closer to what I consier horror then SotL.) There's certainly elements of horror, but there's also elements of suspense/police drama.

Also, I don't count The 6th Sense as horror either. It's a ghost story, but to me it would be a suspense movie first and foremost.


*Sits back and waits for the inevitable barrage of flaming these sorts of statements tend to incur...*

And also, I can't see how The Grudge made anyone's top 10 list, let alone urge's! I thought you knew good horror... (At least I did until I remembered how much you like Phantasm. ;) )

+ Dark Water
+ The Eye
+ Dusk till Dawn
+ Dawn of the Dead (orginal)
+ Evil Dead
+ Ginger Snaps
+ Ringu
+ Last House on the Left
+ Dog Soldiers
+ A Nightmare on Elm Street

& even though it's cross genre The Happiness of the Katakuris.. because you can never go wrong with dancing zombies.

Maybe he meant the Japanese type movie?

I think 7 is like the saw. similiar in many ways,

just has the same type of dark look and feel to it other than that there are NO similarities.

he specificly said it's the best american horror movie in years.

they're categorized as horror and advertised as horror so they're horror, those films you mentioned while they might not scare you and just have a crime drama feel to them have scared the hell out of other people.

personal preferences i suppose.

i cant find a single thing wrong with the American Grudge ... i thought it was near flawless in excecution - i enjoyed it completely.

I think i'm more amazed by the people who didnt like it than they are at me.

re. phantasm .. i know people either hate it or love it ...
i just always loved it .. great homespun heartfelt performances, a kooky theme never repeated anywhere .. wholey origional (except for the short Dune ripoff)

its crazy - i LOVE crazy.


add The Keep to my list of favorites ...
thats another movie most horror purists pooh-pooh but i dig it.

Oh. Guess that's what I get for not caring who said it or bothering to read their post hardly

I wasn't being sarcastic or anything just trying to help out

Neither was I.

some people say cucumbers taste better pickled

same fucking thing cept some salt and other chimicles.

and there some dumb fucking people


the theater just spices up the felling you get via dark room big tv and good sound system,

you can basicly get the same exact felling in your living room for about $7,000, buy a big as tv, kick as suround sound, nice comfertable fucking chair, and some roman shades.

and put a baby in the seat next to you and get a popcorn popper and some soda

and some dumb ass redneck who wont shut the fuck up and your girl next to you,

then you got your self the true home theatre

Dont forget the dude who's about a foot taller the Shaq who always sits infront of ya:rolleyes:

with the butter soak popcorn.

i normally am that guy

Agreed. good point

$7,000? HA!

TV: 6,000
Sound System: 6,000

If you want to get the REALLY good home theater it'll run you at LEAST $14,000

I don't base that off whether they scare me or not. I base it off the content of the movie.

And FYI, imdb.com agrees with me.

The genre for Seven is listed as Thriller, Drama, Mystery, Crime.
The genre for Silence of the Lambs is listed as Thriller, Horror, Crime.
The genre for The Sixth Sense is listed as Drama, Mystery, Thriller.

As you can see, only one of them is even remotely considered horror by the online movie authority and that one is conjuction with the other two genre I assessed it.

*Takes a bow.*

Thank you, thank you. Glad I could finally put an end to this debate... Seven and The 6th Sense are officially not horror.

6th Sense maybe, but Se7en officially WILL be horror within a month:
IMDB is user-run, don't forget

They already have 4 genres listed for 7. I don't think 1 vote will get it changed but if you can get it done, go for it. I am too busy basking in my own correctness to care.

You don't vote on the genres, you just submit an update
