I like the whole premise of an intellectual sociopath setting up elaborate deathtraps to kill people and foil homicide detectives. I loved Se7en for this very reason. I think that I can even group The Silence of the Lambs into the mix.
Are there any other films that fall into the same category? I usually hate "thriller" and "police" flicks, so I'm sure that I am missing out on a few in my preferred genre.
What great intellectual evil villian movies have I been missing?

The Missing.
Turn off the lights. Close all the doors. Turn up the sound. And get ready to jump like a kangaroo. That movie will keep you on the edge of your seat, and you will not guess the ending until it's there. SUCH a good movie, I am so glad I saw it.
Oh, and I saw Saw in the theatre. With my g/f. Truly wonderful movie. Enjoyed every minute of it.
There's also Shaun of the Dead, which mixes much comedy with a decent amount of actual horror (you will get scared from time to time), along with the remake of Dawn of the Dead. None of these involve police, of course, but they are certainly worth seeing. The Missing is most definitely a Thriller, though, not a horror.
OMG, and I almost forgot: The Others. Nicole Kidman in an incredible role. You will NEVER guess the ending, not in a million years. WATCH IT. And be surprised.
