What's your favorite thriller? - Blu-ray Forum

Lepidopterous · 01-13-2010, 05:52 AM

I know "thriller" may be ambiguous, but I usually associate the word "thriller" with high-intensity movies. So in that regard, list what films come to mind that you love in each category.

1. Action thriller (e.g. A History of Violence, The Hurt Locker)
2. Psychological thriller (e.g. Fight Club, Memento)
3. Horror thriller (e.g. Psycho, Repulsion)
4. Drama thriller (e.g. The Lives of Others, Rear Window)

If you can't fit a movie into only one category, choose one.

hard to fit into a single catagory but....

PSYCHO is the iconic psychological horror thriller

other greats--

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
CAPE FEAR (1991)
SEVEN

Wouldn't classify fight club as a thriller.My favourite is Frantic by Polanski.What a tightly paced movie.
