You forgot "The Seventh Sign" and "Rapture"
I don't think I would include Se7en (eventhough that is where I get a portion of my name from), It's really just a movie about a serial killer, meaning there are no supernatual forces at work which are tied to Biblical themes of good vs evil. -

I don't remember the name but it was a British movie that looked like a copy of The Omen with a Whiskey Priest that drives a Taxicab
Yup, I've seen it too. It's called
The Calling
, I think. It's pretty good, if not quite as good as
The Omen
. It relies less on special effects and more on effective storytelling, i.e., leading you to a conclusion, then giving you a surpriseseveral times. Well, call me shallow but I miss the occasional special effect! And
The Omen
's storytelling was very effective too. -

Se7en wasn't really religious. The whole 'Envy and Wrath' twist certainly threw off any moral goodness the film might have had. It's a comment on society that uses religious themes to drive it's point forward but isn't all about how religion is great and real, or even about religion as a concept at all, its about how corrupt all humans are underneath. How everyone 'sins'.

Everyone I know hated it, but "The Reaping" recentlyI loooved that movie.
"The Rapture" to this day, is the scariest movie I've ever seen. Nothing has ever freaked me out that much, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be a horror film.
Stigmata will always be one of my favorites.
