Favorite Thrillers?

Some of my all time favs:
The Tenant.
Don't look now.
The Machinist.
Jacob's Ladder.
BTW: Greetings from this long time lurker! (summoning some faith to join the fest :)
 
The "Thriller" is the red-headed stepchild of the genre tree. It's often misapplied solely for marketing purposes, the assumption being that it's more palatable to a broader segment of customers than the "horror" or even "sci-fi" monikers are. To (badly) paraphrase the theme from The Incredibles: If everything is a "thriller" then nothing is a "thriller".

Free-for-all-fest!
 
"Too true! I loved the ending! "

(Session 9) - the ending is great, and then when i went onto IMDB to read other peoples analysis, there are quite a few much deeper theories and explanations as to what really goes on in the movie.

read some of them on IMDB, and then watch the movie again, it's very well thought out.

I was gonna say "Everything is everything." but I like your Incredibles bit better. Mis-genred genres are dangerous (for us storytellers, anyhow)...
 
Some of my favorites:

The Sixth Sense
Seven
Identity
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Last Seduction
Trapped
Psycho
Play Misty for Me
Rear Window
