Your Favorite Thrillers?

[Caveman]

Anyone seen 'Split' yet? Can't make up my mind if I'm looking forward to it or not?

 

[Hotwire]

Thriller/horror: Would You Rather
Really twisted movie!

Also, The Invitation
It's a very slow build but the climax and ending are worth it.

 

[OutOfBoose]

My favorite (not the best ever) thrillers:

Mulholland Drive
The Disappearance of Alice Creed
Basic Instinct
The Third Man
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Fincher)
Oldboy (2003)
The Lost Highway

 

[Mandon Knight]

Fincher's GWTDT had one of the best trailers attached to it ever, IMHO.

RED SPARROW, thriller coming 2017 with Jennifer Lawrence, sounds promising: A sexy Russian spy falls for a CIA officer and considers becoming a double agent.

Okay, got to give The Invitation another try then, gave up 20 mins in!

Se7en is probably my all time favorite thriller.

Se7en is probably my all time favorite thriller.

Probably have to agree with you, Se7en is an amazing film!

 

[Caveman]

A CURE FOR WELLNESS looks awesome, new thriller coming soon!

I saw The Fugitive ,,,, Very Incredible.

It was mentioned before but I think, truly ahead of its time by 35 + years, is Dressed to Kill. Well written and the reveal was truly shocking. DePalma is undereated. Also another film of his that should be looked at is Raising Cain.

Brilliant suggestion, actually have forgotten about Raising Cain, will check it out again - talking about Brian DePalma, remember I used to love Body Double as well!

 

[Caveman]

Body Double, check it out if you haven't seen it!

It's pretty good. Best thing M. Night's done since at least Signs.

Ok, so he's back then, kind of had lost faith in M. Night! I'll give it a try!

I guess it depends on how you define "thrillers" there are supernatural thrillers, psychological thrillers, spy thrillers......

For me the Bourne trilogy are the greatest spy thrillers.

Have to add a few others:


In the Line of Fire = Eastwood at his best and Malkovich at his most psychotic.

Unknown = because the twist was so well executed.

The International = a vastly underrated film, IMO, and the Guggenheim gunfight is pretty amazing.

Source Code = again a slowly unravelled twist, nice !

Basic Instinct = cheesy in a lot of ways, but fun.

To be honest, the thriller that I find the freakiest has to be Se7en.
That's a film I saw, knowing nothing about it - some real gasps in that one !

Split was very good. I wouldn't rank it among his best but it's worth seeing for the score and McAvoy's performance

I must agree, finally saw Split and it was surprisingly good! Is this a one off hit from M. Night Shyamalan or a sign he's back on form you think?

I didn't think it was particularly great but it's a solid thriller. Shyamalan will definitely get to do whatever he wants now with the movie's insanely impressive box office success.

 

[Caveman]

One of the best thrillers of all time, Scorsese's CAPE FEAR!

Seems to divide the audience, but better that then his previous films that were just bland, heard he's working on a sequel now.

Lot of good suggestions here Batmannerism, Source Code is better than it's reputation I think, Basic Instinct is awesome and has a fantastic score but yes today it does come across a bit cheesy but that's ok, Bourne trilogy is an instant classic, and of course Se7ven which is just mindblowingly good!

 

[Caveman]

ELLE - awesome thriller from 2016, definitely worth watching!
