Answer: Se7en

After the killer John Doe (Kevin Spacey) escapes from Mills (Pitt) and Somerset (Freeman) he then surrenders to them with the blood of his two latest victims still on his hands. With two sins remaining (Envy and Wrath) he reveals he has killed Mills's wife to represent Envy. When he taunts Mills that his wife was pregnant (a fact Mills was unaware of) he acts out the final sin of Wrath by killing Doe.

A different ending was crafted in which Doe does not kill Tracy Mills (Gwyneth Paltrow) and the studio preferred this version. Pitt and Freeman apparently refused to finish the film if the original ending was not used.

Although the killer does not survive the movie, he has completed his aim of a death fashioned after each of the deadly sins.

Answer: Ocean's Eleven

The 1960s' version of "Ocean's Eleven" featured several members of The Rat Pack and starred Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean. The 2001 version starred George Clooney in the title role and also featured Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts. After Danny Ocean is released from prison where he was serving time for a felony fraud conviction, he sets out to rob three Las Vegas casinos. All are owned by the same man; Terry Benedict (Garcia) who stole his wife Tess (Roberts). Although Benedict suspects Ocean of being the mastermind behind the heist, he cannot prove it, so he has his minions follow Ocean (after a further stint in jail for parole violation), Rusty Ryan (Pitt) and Tess.

While Danny Ocean and his band of con men are the stars of the show and you actually want them to succeed, they do rob the casinos and get away with the money.

While the movie was a success at the box office it failed to win any major awards.
