No really, the house is deadly quiet and AHHHHH! Ok so maybe I let my head get the best of me. These movies like Seven should keep your head churning too!

Every time I come to read your blog it’s always a very interesting article. I also enjoyed the one that spoke about the best shows out. I was able to find a new show to binge on.
The Silence of the Lambs was my favorite thriller movie. I loved Fight Club as well. These are the best movies to get you thinking.
I’ve never heard of Seven before. I’ll have to look in to it. I do like some of these other movies you listed. I haven’t seen many, but a couple of them.
I’ve seen Seven and The Silence of the Lambs – both great films. I haven’t seen the rest, but I’ve been wanting to watch Gone Girl. Will check it again if it’s already available on cable. 🙂
Silence of the Lambs still gives me the hebby jeebies (sp? lol). Especially anytime I see or eat Fava Beans!
I don’t typically care for horror movies. I rather watch a comedy, romance, or kids stuff.
