Both excellent films, but I'm going to go with Silence of the Lambs because the ending made me feel less terrible. Also, that final nightvision scene with Clarice and Buffalo Bill still gives me goosebumps.
shareI like Se7en more, but both are very good...
shareSilence of the Lambs is a great film even though I hate serial killer films in general. Seven was good for one thing: Kevin Spacey's performance. Otherwise Brad Pitt is a terrible actor and the script was kind of dumb.
shareHow was the script dumb?
shareWhile personally I think Pitt is a great actor I can understand why people may disagree, but the script being dumb? I just don't get where you're coming from there.
shareWell not dumb, but not my type of script. I should say ridiculous. E.g. the killer's motive, the head in the box thing, etc. Contrived also.
shareThe script wasn't dumb at all, but yes Brad Pitt does really suck.
shareI think Se7en is a much better film.

shareBoth are among my favourites but the silence of the lambs is my all time favourite film, marginally better than seven I'd say.
shareAs a film, Se7en. Hands down. Not even debatable. Silence of the Lambs is a better story, but the directing is annoying.
