What's Better: Round 1: Match 7 (24 v 7)
Here's a battle of two works that generally are well respected amongst people whom I otherwise consider sane.
I got about 1/2 way through 24 Season 1 and found it outlandishly silly. I watched Se7en and found it morbidly gross. Yet each work has passionate fans that insist that it elevates the genre it inhabits.
The lighting alone puts this thing way out front, but then Kevin Spacey!! (and I don't mean the Kevin Spacey of Kpax and Pay it Forward and ugh David Gale) I mean the KS of Usual Suspects, Swimming with Sharks, The Big Kahuna, and Glen Gerry, Glen Ross.

Se7en, no question. 24 is decent popcorn TV, but Se7en, for all that it is in fact gross, is a great film.
Seven is a GREAT movie.
I couldn't finish watching Se7en. The first season of 24 was gripping--and even better on DVD.
Seven, though seeing it once was plenty.
Se7en.

Add me for Se7en
Another vote for Se7en.
I guess I cast my vote for 24, though it looks like another where I'm on the losing side.
