Hi this is probably my favourite genre of movie and wondered if any of you could recommend a good thriller I prefer relationship psychological ones rather than spy types....


Thankyou very much:)
 
Hi..If i want a film or to see what there about i google ''Thrillers''or ''Horrors'' or whatever, and a list comes up..Then just read each one
 
Thanks..I do read Rotten Tomatoes etc. but sometimes I find the critics a bit up their own butts and even if it has a high percentage it is not always good.

It's nice to watch something that has been recommended by movie buRAB.

That was my reason for the thread.:)
 
I seen loaRAB of films though,,but mainly horrors..Can't think of any thrillers at the minute

EDIT...The Stepfather, was good
 
Black Book is on tonight on More4. Watch it if you've never seen it, its an amazing film. It's a war drama/thriller spy type but I highly recommend it. One of the best films I've ever seen.

Only ones I can think of are:

Mulholland Drive
The Usual Suspects
Cape Fear
American Pyscho
 
As he's in the news, one or two of Michael Douglas's spring to mind and fit the description, in "Falling Down", "Don't Say A Word", and the twisty-turny "The Game".
 
I find horror and thriller interesting as genre concepts as in practice they are so very often cross-overy. A good horror film should after all 'thrill', and likewise you can expect a good thriller to be punctuated by 'shock'. I find a good example of this the 'multiple-murder' genre; IMO, films that focus on murder mysteries, as opposed to merely depicting systematic execution of characters down to a 'final girl/boy' scenario, are thrillers as they are more about the suspense arising from the investigatory process. So in that regard, is Silence Of The Lambs for example thriller or horror... or both? Ditto Dario Argento's Tenebrae, it is usually lumped in with the horror genre even though it is more similar in style and construction to his earlier Cat O'Nine Tails, than films like Suspiria and Inferno. I guess however that people see the amount of explicit blooRABhed in Tenebrae as 'tipping the balance'.

My personal favourite BTW OP is Brian DePalma's Dressed To Kill (has to be the uncut version though), which indeed has some horrific moments.
 
Can you tell me the name of some films you have enjoyed already? That will help me suggest some films!
The last thriller type films I saw might not be to your taste- "Tell no one" is a great french film although the ending was a bit unwelcome!
 
I have actually seen quite a lot of films Eden Lake was recent and AfterLife with Liam Neeson.

I also liked Awake with Hayden Christianson.
 
Red Eye (Cillian Murphy, Rachel McAdams) I thought was very enjoyable and Insomnia (Al Pacino) and The Prestige (Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale)
 
"The Killer Within Me" was good, two very disturbing scenes in it but still worth watching. Its the first time in years I've thought about some movie scenes going a little too far.

Another one I enjoyed is "Black Death".
 
Dressed To Kill is a classic movie with Michael Caine playing a pyschopath.

He was good in a recent release as well, which is a damn good thriller, Harry Brown.

Last night I quite enjoyed Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. Great fun too!!
