Zodiac & THE GOOD THRILLER MOVIES THREAD

Infinity Dose · Post by **Infinity Dose** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:48 am

so what the fuck is the deal with this movie. apparently it's pretty good but it's not in theatres anymore and the only one online is a shitty cam rip. i guess i'll wait 2-4 months for the dvd rip

also, are there any good movies out like se7en i should be seeing.

Seriously though, thrillers aren't trendy nowadays. None recent comes to mind.

Also, Se7en is a horrible movie

I thought Seven was pretty good.

Also, 8mm was total shit.

He was good in Birdy, too. That movie was awesome.

I liked it, stop hating the stuff I like. I wanted to see the Zodiac but by the time I got someone to go with me it was out of theaters, supposedly it did pretty bad at the box office.

Seven was only good at the very end where the dead guy was all BECOME WRATH :blammo:

zodiac was great but it wasn't a thriller.

seven was fun for a once through but it doesn't stand up to repeat viewings very well. it's more about the nifty camera tricks than anything else. I think the movie would have been much better had it been told with a more sympathetic eye/or flat out from the view point of John Doe. The only interesting character in the entire flick.

I think he would have been much less interesting would the story be narrated/told by him. It's not like anything in the movie was "deep".

Yes, that was great, but it's not really the same type of movies as seven and zodiac, I guess.

Still, an amazing film. That fucking scene in which Trevolsky(or whatever his polish name

) goes to the hospital and the thing starts shouting; disturbing.
