FFA Top 200 Horror Movies of All Time: #16 - A Nightmare on Elm Street (28 Viewers)

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Something I'm realizing about myself as I see which of these movies I add to my queue: I like horror movies where there's a physical opponent. Zombie, slasher, monster. Ghosts and such scare me too much to watch - a jump scare in a possession or ghost movie make me poo. #wuss

I'm realizing that I favor horror movies that fully immerse themselves in specific past eras (e.g.; Late Night with the Devil in the 1970s, Shadow of the Vampire in the 1920s silent film era).

Right there with ya. Totally agree

 

[WVU Alum]

I'm realizing I like horror movies that are really good and have better taste than all of you.

I like a little of everything. But I tend to like the ghost movies the least because of all the pottery making.

#69 - Se7en​

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

[Scoresman]

Why I think Se7en counts

- the murder scenes were absolutely horrific and are what horror is all about. One of them even has a jump scare!
- the setting and tone of the movie of one of despair and hopelessness.
- Brad Pitt is the victim and you see the movie through his eyes. All of the murders culminated towards that final scene.

Horror is defined as an intense feeling of shock, fear, or disgust. Tell me this movie doesn't evoke all of those.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Se7ven is the best movie I never need to see again.

 

[Osaurus]

It’s that other box reference

 

[UncleZen]

Se7ven is the best movie I never need to see again.

That's kind of my take too. I saw it once and remember thinking it was good, but have never had the desire to watch it again.

 

[Keith R]

Se7ven is the best movie I never need to see again.

For me it's Million Dollar Baby

 

[Tick]

Se7ven is the best movie I never need to see again.

I may even have said it in this thread, but my first date with my wife was to see this movie. I said pretty much the exact same thing in the parking lot. Sure enough, I've never watched it again.

You have this listed as 2011 but the trailer is for the 1985 version. I ranked the 1985 version but am not listed here.

@Scoresman stop avoiding this controversy!

Sorry, it's the original. I'll update the google sheet. 9 times out of 10 it will be the original but my spreadsheet looks these things up and if a remake is listed first on the big database I downloaded that's what gets pulled in. I correct what I can manually, but obviously miss a few.

Thanks. The bigger issue is I think you are missing a few people that ranked this, which would push it higher.

I laid out my argument, don't think it a horror, but it's about 10x closer than others movies already listed.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Se7ven is the best movie I never need to see again.

Not that you needed any more proof we are about as far on movies as it comes, here is a fun fact: I watched Se7en every night for about a month while in college.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Talk to Me should be watched by everyone reading this. Great, freaky movie.

It's really really good. The only downside is that it's a two and a half hour found footage movie. I never felt like it wore out it's welcome, but some people can't do found footage for that long a sitting.

It's made by the same people who made my #4 movie, The Medium. So if you liked The Wailing, check that one out too.

It's not often that Horror Comedy makes my list of best horror movies, usually falls into favorite comedies list, but this one just works for both. Just a great original take on the genre.
