Didn't Seven beat The Social Network last time?

 

So TSN either saw a sizable increase or a sizable decrease 

[Jake Gittes]

Seven is phenomenal. Was lucky to see it on the big screen a couple years ago and it's so draining in the best way. People were dead silent walking out. "John Doe has the upper hand" is one of the most chilling lines in filmdom.

I had to check and see if I placed the Shining on my list.  Thankfully I did

Box Office: 37.6m (50.1m Adjusted)

Synopsis: In the falangist Spain of 1944, the bookish young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer escapes into an eerie but captivating fantasy world.

Critic Opinion: "Pan's Labyrinth, the extraordinary film from Mexican fabulist Guillermo del Toro, is as poetic as a ballad and as primal as a myth - imagine The Chronicles of Narnia painted by a tag team of Goya and Dalí. Del Toro is a conjurer who employs realism to intensify his fantasy - and vice versa. This is the breakthrough work of one of world cinema's most visionary artists.

 

The film's resolution is as ambiguous and rich as its narrative. I leave it to others to debate whether Pan's Labyrinth ends on a note of triumph or tragedy - or both.  What I do know for certain is that del Toro has created a timeless story. Finally, Pan's Labyrinth suggests that fairy-tale violence helps the vulnerable process and overcome real-life conflicts and that real-life violence permanently smashes the soul and the heart. By the end, I rode the emotional waves of elation and elegy, and thought once again of Donne, of "Death Be Not Proud," of the poet's hope that death shall be no more. "Death, thou shalt die."" - Carrie Rickey

User Opinions: "I cold purchased the Blu Ray over a year ago and tonight I finally decided to watch it. Now I'm wondering why I waited so long. It's fantastic, beautiful and gruesome film. A real fairy tale of old without the saccharine syrup of Hollywood." - @DeeCee

 

"Absolutely love this movie to death.... and that music!" - @Jay Hollywood

Commentary: Guillermo Del Torro get his Shape of Water bump as Pan's Labyrinth finishes notably higher than it ever has before, and deservedly so.  Pan's Labyrinth is a gorgeous and heartbreaking fairytale about a dark fantasy world being a little girl's escape from an even grimmer and harsher reality.  There are many spanish movies about the Spanish Civil War, Del Torro actually has two fantasy films about it, this one and the slightly lesser known, The Devil's Backbone.  The world Del Torro crafts in Labyrinth is rich, beautiful and poetic, unlike any of his many other gorgeous and innovative worlds he's crafted in the past.  Pan's Labyrinth was on 28% of the lists that were submitted and averaged a score of around 3.8 from each of those users.

Pan's Labyrinth is good but it never really rises above that for me.

That’s kind of how I thought of the Shape of Water when I saw it.

[FantasticBeasts]

Taste has been served with those last 2 entries.

[FantasticBeasts]

To be honest though Se7en is probably Top 10 for me and Pan's Labirynth Top 20.

Most of us are under the assumption it's superhero movies (Spider-Man 2, Gaurdians of the Galaxy, The Avengers would be my guess)
