199O's

Film	Year	Director	Country	Plot
Silence of the Lambs	1991	Jonathan Demme	USA	Fledgling FBI agent tries to track down trophy hunting serial killer with the aid of jailed psychopath. Stylish and disturbing, with two Oscar-winning performances from its leads
Man Bites Dog	1992	Rèmy Belvaux	Belgium	Documentary crew follow day-to-day life of serial killer as he goes about his business. Black comedy, but very thought provoking. The best thing ever to come out of Belgium.
Trauma	1993	Dario Argento	Italy/USA	Anorexic girl tries to figure out why some hooded guy decapitated her parents... and keeps on decapitating her neighbours. Tame for Argento, but nonetheless a bloody and brutal film, with a fascinating riddle at its heart.
Kalifornia	1993	Dominic Sena	USA	A writer and photographer get more than they bargained for as they research a book on serial killers and get exposed to the real thing. Similar themes to NBK, good performances, but lacks Stone's flair with images.
Natural Born Killers	1994	Oliver Stone	USA	The definitive serial killer couple movie follows the fortunes of Mickey and Mallory as they slash their way across the Mid-West. Distasteful, excessively violent, morally vacuous - a sharp satire on the cult of the serial killer.
Se7en	1995	David Fincher	USA	Perhaps the most gripping serial killer movie ever made
Copycat	1995	Jon Amiel	USA	A psychiatrist is trapped at home by agoraphobia, and must pursue the killer who threatens her via her computer. The killer's MO involves imitations of 'Famous Serial Killers from History'
American Psycho	2000	Mary Harron	USA	Patrick Bateman, folk hero of our times, stalks the upper echelons of New York society. Or does he?
