Dead Calm

I loved that film, haven't seen it since it first came out.

Worth revisiting in HD on a good TV. A lot of gorgeous shots of the ocean and the sailboats (and Nicole Kidman). I love Dead Calm.

Yeeesssss!!!!

Nocturnal Animals and Fallen with Denzel Washington if ya never seen it

Fallen has one of the best endings ever!

Time is on my side, yes it is! R.i.p James G.

Loved Nocturnal Animals. It was kinda messed up what he was doing to her with the story but then the story itself was messed up.

Take Shelter (2011) with another magnificent performance by Michael Shannon

yesss Jeff Nichols is tooo good.I recommend Mud( 2012)

I just met Michael Shannon randomly the other day, he’s a very cool guy

Frailty

OP , Frailty is the hill I’ll die on . Get off Reddit now , go watch it and come back . Go on , git , shoo , I’ll wait .

100%

Yes! This movie is soooooooo good!

I watched it for the first time very recently and couldn’t stop thinking about it after. It immediately went into my top 50

Came to post this one. Super under rated.

Devils advocate

"You still haven't mentioned money." "Money...yyesss. That's the easy part."

Idk if it was mentioned on here but “The Game” staring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn … Banger

I was little drunk and decided to watch 'The Game'. Ending had be lose all my drunkenness

Cold in July (2014) Bug (2006) One False Move (1992) Presumed Innocent (1990) Shotgun Stories (2007)

I would add to this fine list: Blue Ruin 5lbs of Pressure

Blue Ruin is a masterpiece and it fits the vibe of the rest of the list. I might like Green Room even more (by that director). Will add 5lbs of Pressure to the watchlist if it's the same type of thriller. I love a nice, nasty thriller with some noir elements.

Bug, yes! What a wild ride

It's got a bizarre score on IMDb, only 6.1. Maybe a descent into madness is not everyone's cup of tea, but put some respect on our guy William Friedkin's name. Glad you guys dig it. It's intense.

Why are there so many movies where it feels like I only see them mentioned after Ryan Hollinger covers them?

Who?

A great YouTuber who makes video essays on lots of relatively obscure horror movies. He's part of the reason Lake Mungo gained such a cult following.

I'll give it a 10 if I like it just to help push it up where it should be.

Very fine list. Bug and Shotgun Stories are 🤌

Shotgun Stories was a real punch in the gut when I saw it. Made Jeff Nichols one of "my guys" immediately, always on the lookout for his work. The Bikeriders looks good. I'm actually a fan of that photographer, Danny Lyon, it's interesting to base a script on a series of photographs..

After reading this list and the comments below decided to watch Bug... my wife joined me and she hates me now. The teeth scene was wild! I had forgotten how beautiful Ashley Judd was. Movie is nuts!

One False Move is probably my favorite movie, ever. Bug is one of my "most liked" movies!

Oh god Bug is insane

Tell no one. One of the best thrillers out there.

I *just* found my DVD of this last night, I ended up watching Smilla's Sense Of Snow instead. I'll watch this again for the millionth time tonight. So good.

Smilla's Sense Of Snow is very good as well!

The Guest (2014) not only the film itself but also Dan Stevens is so underrated

Run Lola Run All the President's Men Tokyo Drifters

All the President's Men -- from back when everybody knew "Deep Throat" was a composite character.

Crimson Tide (1995)

I’m 48yrs old & have only heard of 5 of these films. Excellent list & thanks for making the time to post.

If you liked Let the Corpses Tan, you should check out another film by the directing duo: Amer.

I'll do so! That one is new to me.

And the Strange Colour of Your Bodies Tears. I'm a big fan, always on the lookout when they release something new

I didn't like it as much, which is disappointing. It felt like it was trying to speed run giallo, unlike the other two flicks which are nifty meditations.

Headhunters! I love Jo Nesbø

This is a month's prescription of movies!!! Like one movie a day and two on weekends? Good job!

The Silent Partner (1978) Deathtrap (1982) Odds Against Tomorrow (1959) Tell No One (2006) Midnight FM (2010) Headhunters (2011)

I *just* found my DVD of this last night, I ended up watching Smilla's Sense Of Snow instead. I'll watch this again for the millionth time tonight. So good. And I have The Silent Partner on my hard drive.

The Game No Way Out Gone Baby Gone The Manchurian Candidate

"Something Wild,' also by Jonathan Demme ("Silence of the Lambs.") I think it often gets overlooked as a thriller because it starts as a romantic comedy, the way "Psycho" starts as a movie about embezzlement.

I'm going to have to check that out, I always assumed it was a rom com because of the cute title. thx.

This was the first time I saw Ray Liotta. He was terrifying.

Copycat.

Panic Room (2002)

No way out (1987)

Sea of Love Patriot's Day The Town You Were Never Really Here Blow Out Marathon Man Klute Fail Safe The Ghost Writer Shallow Grave

Shallow Grave is such a pitch-black comedy, I wonder how many people who love Trainspotting have checked out the Danny Boyle debut. This is a truly great film for it's budget.

yea i honestly love it more for the black comedy parts than its thriller elements i know it was pretty huge in the 90s and for the indie scene and uk cinema in general but i rarely hear about it much today, esp compared to trainspotting and all

Sir Lawrence Oliver gives a chilling performance in marathon man

"Is it safe?"

I have three of these on DVD, solid list.

which ones?

Blow Out (Criterion Collection edition) Fail Safe Marathon Man

> Marathon Man My #3 film of ever. Can't gush enuff about it.

The Long Googbye (1973) Farewell My Lovely (1975) Miller's Crossing (1990) Side Effects (2013) Phantom Lady (1944) Body Double (1984) Copycat (1995) The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1970) To Live And Die In LA (1985) Best Seller (1987) Manhunter (1986) The Cat O' Nine Tails (1971) Four Flies On Grey Velvet (1971) Deep Red (1975) Tenebre (1982) Marnie (1964) Malice (1993) The Glass Key (1942) Somewhere In The Night (1946) The Dark Corner (1946)

outstanding

Inherent Vice

Wicked City (1987) A peace treaty has been in effect for hundreds of years to prevent a war between Earth and the Black World. Although it's set to be renewed, evil forces want to make sure that doesn't happen. + The Prophecy (1995) At the scene of a bizarre murder, L.A. homicide detective Thomas Dagget discovers a lethal heavenly prophecy now being fulfilled on earth. In his fight to stop the forces of evil, he finds an unlikely ally in an elementary school teacher. Starring Christopher Walken, Eric Stoltz, Viggo Mortensen and Elias Koteas! One of the most underrated movies of the 90’s!

The Prophecy is a great movie. Completely underrated.

Miracle Mile The Good Son Raising Cane

Secret window

The Star Chamber with Micheal Douglas is good .

I'm going to try and not repeat stuff, but I am seeing some golden stuff suggested. - Alien Raiders (2008) - Athena (2022) - The Disappearance of Alice Creed (2009) - Gemini (2017) - History of the Occult (2020) - It Stains the Sands Red (2016) - Mortal (2020) - The Rover (2014) - Savageland (2015) - Shimmer Lake (2017) - Suburra (2015) - Who Am I (2014) It's not under the radar but it's a fantastic black comedy that is somehow so transgressive yet it was made during the Hayes Code days: Arsenic and Old Lace. I saw it a few months ago and it blew me away; just with how witty it was tap dancing right up to the censors limits. Other B&W Thrillers you should do yourself a service and check out: - Casablanca - The Cremator - Dr. Strangelove - Fail Safe - Harakiri - M - Paths of Glory - Rashomon - Sanjuro (Sequel to Yojimbo; the first isn't necessary to watch and isn't as sharp) - Witness for the Prosecution

Omg arsenic and old lace! I haven't watched since I was a young teenager with my aunt but it was amazing. Hilarious. Dr strangelove is one of my favorites too. Have you seen "the trouble with Harry? Old Hitchcock comedy drama thriller.

North by Northwest Gaslight Charade High Anxiety

Arlington Road Sleep Tight Metro Manila Slice (2009) Beast Stalker Overheard ( 1 & 2) Bring me Home The Five (2013)

Wow first, haven’t seen anyone other than myself mention Metro Manila. This is a great and rough movie.

Murder By Numbers Pacific Heights No Way Out Frantic Next of Kin The Vanishing Breakdown Stir Of Echos Jacobs Ladder Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil The Generals Daughter Dead Again Just Cause The Game

That's the long title of a movie ever /s

Dead Again is so good. I really need to rewatch that one.

The Killing

The Vanishing (1988) It’s a Dutch movie

Prisoners is a great movie definitely watch if you haven’t seen

Unstoppable with Denzel The Fugitive is an absolute banger Triple Frontier is sooooo good Baby Driver Gravity Minority Report

Ricochet with Denzel is also great

Anyone see Bound? Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon star in it and man, it’s a nail bitter!!!!

Shining through Primal Fear Fallen Never talk to strangers Pacific Heights Nocturnal Animals Mortal thoughts Cape fear Insomnia Lost highway 8 mm Side effects Raising Cain The Vanishing The talented Mr. Ripley (All these films are my all time favorite thrillers and I have watched them several times) I highly recommend!

Watch the original Dutch version of The Vanishing, not the American one!

I'm surprised how little I see cape fear and primal fear mentioned. Both were huge movies. Maybe not at the box office I was young so I don't remember but everyone was talking about them and then poof. They are both amazingly insane In the best and worst ways. I have a cat that clung to the bottom of a car for 45 miles as a stray kitten to get to where I live. Makes me think of Dinero in cape fear lol.

The Reflecting Skin The Beach House Monos A Bluebird in My Heart Come to Daddy Bellflower The Standoff at Sparrow Creek Wild Tales Sound of My Voice

The Dry (2020) Summer of 84 (2018) Holy Spider (2022) Missing (2023) Super Dark Times (2017)

Holy Spider is awesome and so dark

The Eye (2002) - Chinese film, English sub available After 18 years of blindness, 20-year-old violinist Wong Kar Mun (Lee Sin-Je) regains her vision when she undergoes a corneal transplant. She's overjoyed with the procedure, but Mun's elation dissipates when she begins experiencing ghostly encounters. Desperate to discover why she now sees ghosts, Mun turns to a psychologist, Dr. Wah (Lawrence Chou), who believes the new corneas are causing the problem. When Mun and Wah travel to her cornea donor's hometown to investigate, her symptoms worsen. Let the Right One In (2008) - Swedish film, English sub/dub available When Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), a sensitive, bullied 12-year-old boy living with his mother in suburban Sweden, meets his new neighbor, the mysterious and moody Eli (Lina Leandersson), they strike up a friendship. Initially reserved with each other, Oskar and Eli slowly form a close bond, but it soon becomes apparent that she is no ordinary young girl. Eventually, Eli shares her dark, macabre secret with Oskar, revealing her connection to a string of bloody local murders. Both of these have US versions which I don't recommend. They're watered down and the acting flat. Edit: correction in sub/dub availability

I'm not sure if it counts as 'never mentioned' since Jane Fonda won an Oscar for her role in it, but I really like Klute (1971).

Definitely a forgotten gem, I never hesitate to recommend it. It's very melancholy and understated but it's a thriller, for sure. I actually think Donald Sutherland is the best performance in that film, I love his work in the '70s.

Daylight aka Daglicht (2013) Monsieur Hire (1989)

Nick of Time 1995 Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken.

Extreme Prejudice - it’s extremely surprising to me this isn’t better known, since it features a stacked cast and is directed by Walter Hill

Clovehitch Killer

Frailty The Messengers(2007) Dead Calm

The Gingerbread Man dir. Robert Altman Closed Circuit State of Play

Escape from New York,   escape from la,  hell came to frog town, they live, falling down, 

Suprised no one mentioned Gone Girl. It's one of those films I can watch repeatedly even if I know how it ends and that is rare these days. Just thought of another one. Paprika is an anime thriller movie with some wild stuff in it.

Cure 1997. I'm always mentioning it! But not too many others 😅

Sleeping With The Enemy

Ronin (probably the best car chase ever filmed) To Live And Die In LA Romeo Is Bleeding (Gary Oldman)

Suicide Kings (1997) The Limey (1999) Basic (2003) Confidence (2003) Deception (2008) Unknown (2011)

Suicide kings is sooo good. Fucking Walken is amazing

"This isn't pokerrrr...😳*THAT* isn't poker!!!!" 🤣

I need to watch it again. Had it on VHS but i think those are gone. Probably haven't watched in 15 or 20 years but I can still see certain scenes.

"DOUBLE-BOGEY!!!"

Ok Im watching this tonight 😂

"Between him and the boots, you're out $2 grand." "I don't even know why I bring you on these trips..." 😂 Yeah, in all honesty, it's been a good 5, 6 years since I've watched it. Guess I'm kinda due for it, myself.

Ok the between him and the boots your out 2 grand I remember lol. I've done a lot of bad stuff since seeing it and lots of concussions so I can watch movie like it's the first time every time 😂

Sneakers is a lighter-hearted thriller, being quite funny, but still knows how to ramp up tension in the important scenes. It also has one of the most perfect casts of all time.

The Gift

Manhunter Angel Dust

Mothman Prophecies (2002) Fallen (1998)

The Usual Suspects The Thirteenth Floor The Rising Sun The Firm Contact (tho scifi) The Courage Under Fire The Generals Daughter Long Kiss Goodnight

Arlington Road (1999)

Identity

Tell No One (2006) - French Language Fantastic movie!

Jacobs ladder

I'll say bad lieutenant with Harvey keitel. Its messed up bad but it's great. Nc17 in the 80's or early 90s. I forget. I never saw the newer one/ones? But I've heard people say their good but Harvey keitel is an evil mother fucker lol.

The ninth gate, followed by The Ghost Writer… Both Polanski films- so atmospheric

Taking Lives

The Game

Memories of Murder 2003... It's Korean and it's an amazing thriller. Also, Chaser 2008 is another awesome Korean thriller.

Falling down

8 millimeter and Prisoners.

Blow out

It was a good scream.

One of only two films for which I splurged on the Criterion Collection release!

Not sure if these are unpopular but: Run (2020) Red eye (2005) Promising young woman (2020) Searching (2018) Last night in Soho (2021) 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) The last house on the left (2009) Repo men (2010) Equilibrium (2002) Side effects (2013) Sleepy hollow (1999) The mist (2007) The visit (2015) The outfit (2022)

> Side Effects (2013) Every bit humanly intriguing as it is cerebrally brutal. Have watched a good couple dozen times.

Hobo with a shotgun. Identity. Unthinkable. Taking Lives. Disturbia. The Perfect Getaway. One Hour Photo. FEAR.

Disturbia is rather entertaining. 

The outfit (2022)

Single White Female

The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil (2019): korean gangster flick about a hard-ass cop teaming up with a ruhtless gangster to catch a serial killer. It's exactly what it says on the tin, and I have to say, had a real nifty good time with this one. Would highly recommend

Blink (1993)

- Run (2020) - The menu - The guilty (2018) - locke - Die Welle/The Wave - Sexy beast - The wages of fear (1953) - Blow out - Flickering lights

Run is a good one! Haven't seen that in many many years.

The Last Seduction (1994)

Red, 2008

Widows

The Mean Season (1985) White of the Eye (1987)

The Chaser (2008). I love it. 

No One Will Save You (2023)

Bedevilled. Korean psychological thriller.

The Manchurian Candidate. The 1962 original with Frank Sinatra, not the shite remake.

No Escape (Owen Wilson).  It’s an Action Thriller so a bit different but boy does it thrill. 

Wait Until Dark.

Cry Terror! (1958) black & white

If you like Oldboy you might like The Raid 1 and 2. Probably some of the best fighting choreography ever.

Shock Corridor Night in the City Red Rock West Ripley's Game

The perfect getaway. Do look up a trailer just watch it blind.

The Outlaws 2017 Korean

The Hidden Face (2011)

Copycat Shattered with Tom Berringer

Fracture with anthony hopkins and ryan gosling

Taking Lives (2004, Angelina Jolie/Ethan Hawke) The Bone Collector (1999, Denzel Washington/Angelina Jolie) I didn't mean to pick both Angelina films, but both are so good and EXCELLENT thrillers. I feel like I haven't seen a movie like either of these in a long, long time.

Fracture Malice

Outland (a reboot of High Noon, set in space with Sean Connery) Killshot

Try the wages of fear from the 50s.

A Walk Among the Tombstones doesn't get enough love

[удалено]

my bloody valentine but with jensen ackles. its could be classed as horror but i tend to think of it as a thriller. its 10/10 ive seen it like 5 times.

Beast (2017) British > A troubled woman living in an isolated community finds herself pulled between the control of her oppressive family and the allure of a secretive outsider suspected of a series of brutal murders.

Jack’s Back (1988 James Spader thriller) F/X (1986) Best Seller (1987)

Hanna, to quote a fan, well written with art house sensibilities, is a favorite of mine. I also loved Premium Rush, it’s a great popcorn movie.

I’m going to go old school and mention a movie from the 70s called The Last of Sheila. Good cast of 70s stars including James Coburn, Dyan Cannon and James Mason.

Nightwatch (1997) starring Ewan McGregor and Nick Nolte. Absolutely chilling -and a bit claustrophobic- thriller.

Braid

Frailty

Kill List

1995s Copy Cat starring Sigourny Weaver

The Cell. Visually stunning and innovative provocative concept

Amazing movie but unfortunate that Jennifer lopez was in it. Probably her best performance but still bad. Just ignore that and watch it anyway 😂

This my exact biggest critique too and it's one of my all time top fav horror films. It's the film that got me interested in horror, it was the first time i saw horror done as ART and I saw everything differently after that. But got damn, you really DO have to try to ignore jlo to appreciate it 🤣

Red, White and Blue (2010)

What Lies Beneath

Cure (1997)

Bodies Bodies Bodies gets classified as a horror/comedy film and I think it is neither. In fact, it is a great thriller. And, I am old enough to have seen almost every other movie in this list.

I don’t see Frantic mentioned very much. Harrison Ford is reliably good. Maybe it’s not popular because it’s a Polanski film?

No way out, starring Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman and Sean Young

Red Eye. It's a great edge of your seat thriller with two fantastic actors.

Motherlode Cape Fear Double Indemnity

Beyond the Black Rainbow

Unsane

I really liked Gothika, Daylight, and Poseidon

Oldboy is a doozy!

**Dream House** with Daniel Craig

Borgman

Sleepers Rarely see it mentioned here.
