What do these five movies have in common?

I love all five? Is that it? Do I win?

Or is it that things aren't as they seem? That's more likely in the grand scheme of things.

They each depict a loss of values/valuables/treasures/loved ones & revenge?

Jacob Spickelmire said...

Or they could each depict a haunting revelation? Se7en - death of wife, Lost Highway - guilt, Memento - realization of past, American Psycho - realization of psychopathy, Life Aquatic - realization that what he wanted wasn't what he wanted, etc. (?)

I am speechless. I am without speech.

I have no idea. Someone dies in each movie?

P and J said...

All correct answers.
Though there is one glaring, very simple common detail

Joathan said...

things hit the ground in all of them?

Mr Fist said...

They're all shot in 1:2.35 ratio?

Mr Fist said...

...or they all have 'blink and you'll miss it' moment. i.e. The flashing image of Gweneth Paltrow at the end of Se7en.

P and J said...

Still all correct, more or less.

It's a detail they all share -- though "American Psycho" & "Memento" are the closest in this similarity.

Mr Fist said...

They all have songs by David Bowie.

P and J said...

More specifically...??

Joey said...

"Something in the Air."

There's something in the air in all of these movies!

P and J said...

Just about there.
Really only missing one minor, but crucial, detail

Mr Fist said...

A David Bowie song plays in the end credits.
