Léon

Léon (Jean Reno) is a hitman (or "cleaner" as he would rather be known) living a solitary life in New York City's Little Italy. Most of his work comes from a mafioso named Tony (Danny Aiello), who operates from the "Supreme Macaroni Company" retail store. Leon spends his idle time engaging in calisthenics, nurturing a houseplant that early on he describes as his "best friend", and (in one scene) watching old Gene Kelly musicals.

Se7en

Seven (also marketed as Se7en) is a 1995 American crime film directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker. The story follows a retiring detective (Morgan Freeman) and his replacement (Brad Pitt), jointly investigating a series of ritualistic murders inspired by the seven deadly sins.

se7en is the more intense and sophisticated film of the two, but I would choose to watch Leon more often. So, Leon.

For some reason I cannot vote in the poll.

I despise anything that uses a number in place of a letter, so I choose Leon.

How you can even compare the two is beyond me. Léon is an above average film for those seeking instant gratification and a strangely appealing Natalie Portman (:eyes). Whereas Se7en is one of the best films of the '90s.

Allthough Seven is probably the better film, I prefer Leon.

Think about it. 5ive, Driv3r aren't things you want to be associated with. And 7 doesn't even look like a V.

If you're going to choose one, choose it because you think it's a better film; not just because you don't like the way it's written.

Se7en.

Have you even seen Se7en?

Se7en.


I haven't seen either, and have no inclination too, either. They sound far too serious for me.

Well, if you have not seen both, have no inclination do so either, you as such have no real valid reason to be posting in this thread! You really are an plonker sometimes.

I don't know about anyone else, but I come here for my own entertainment. I'll post in whatever goddamned thread I want to.

I've got Leon on my Lovefilm list, but they don't seem to stock the film any more. :(

So tentatively: Se7en, because Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are slightly cooler than Jean Reno and Gary Oldman.

Leon, because Portman is hot in it.
