Thank you. You fucking genius. I was looking for one of the films in the erotica thriller clip for several years. It was driving me nuts. Thank you very much for this list... Now I can go find the film and jerk off to the female character 😳😍😍😍👍
I'm glad Perfect Blue at least got a reference in the psychological thriller. That film, and Satoshi Kon in general, is criminally underrated by western critics. Vertigo still deserves the top spot, of course.
I love how you guys don`t always pick the incredibly obvious choice. On other lists, I usually have already seen most if not all of the films. With you guys, I get some great recommendations for movies i`ve often never heard of and I love it! Keep up the amazing work!
@@Scorch428 typical of someone who doesn’t understand cinema to think liking old or art house films is “pretentious” go back to your super hero movies douche bag
My favourite is gonna be The Wailing by Na Hong-jin. Okay it's more like a horror film but the thriller elements are so good. The horror, suspense, deception, survival, everything are extremely pushed to the level that you can't even imagine. It's for me one of the best Korean film I have ever watch.
I really appreciate the brief mention of 2010's Buried in the contained thriller section. It's so deeply underrated and underviewed that even a flash mention in the same breath as so many other greats makes me supremely happy.
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) is sadly missing from this list. It alone fits several categories including the romantic thriller and the crime thriller.
Jack Healy it is as much as In Bruges is. Priest gets told he is going to be killed on sunday, like thats going to end well, and you spend the entire film trying to work out who it is.
Cinefix picking "The Third Man" quel surprise....Just as an exercise, you should the top 10 worst movies of all time. with categories like guilty pleasure, and fun to make fun of and even influential bad movies that have great movies made as a response.
Luke S. Although accurate that is not entirely true. Cheesy movies and guilty pleasures and even cult classics are often bad movies objectively. I'll watch high school musical unashamedly but that doesn't make it good. I guess what I'm looking for is a best worst movies with some thought provoking reasons why as I have come to expect from cinefix
I always love the diversity of your choices -- this time, you've got several I haven't seen, but the ones I have seen are perfect selections for exactly the reasons you point out.
Vertigo is my all-time favourite movie. What can someone say? It's pure art. Excellent photography, flawless acting and a well-constructed script transform this film into a suspense classic!
Fritz Lang's 1931 "M" is one of the best films ever made. Easily on the same level as Hitchcock's Vertigo. Both are master pieces that had tremendous impact on movie industry.
If anything, they are discounting modern films. Here's how it goes, I see one or two of their videos and see old films being given shouts and I appreciate it. I'm on their 15th video and the number of old films still outweigh modern films (ones after the 80s) by such a margin that one starts to wonder if they truly examine newer movies in the same lens at all.
Rushav Kumar Panda considering that most movie channels do the exact opposite and ignore films made before 1980, I’d say this is a good thing. You wouldn’t ask them to talk about old films if they were more into modern films. That might be the reason they do that in the first place. After all, who cares? Movies are movies.
It probably is, it would just be much more demanding since the CineFix crew would have to watch dozens of hours of footage to find the examples they need and then edit that footage together. Also barring the last ten years, TV shows really did not have the resources, time, and technical prowess to match the cinematic language of Film. TV Episodes were meant to be film and shot within a week at most, that just doesn't leave much room for experimentation or error.
Those would straddle existing subgenres: Zodiac is a crime thriller; Apollo 13 and 127 Hours are contained thrillers (a surprisingly big subgenre); Munich is a spy thriller. I can see categorizing them separately, as movies like Munich or 127 Hours seem to have a special weight to them because you know they are based on real events. At the same time, however, those two don't really go together - it's more a characteristic than a genre. At the same time, Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy and Bridge of Spies should definitely be in the same subgenre, even though one is fiction and the other based on real events. I'd say stick with defining the subgenres by tones and themes and other aspects essential to the film, as opposed to the relationship between the film and the real world.
Nightcrawler and The Departed as well! The Departed is - in my opinion - the perfect example. Nicholson's insanity mounting with Leonardo's visible discomfort and anxiety, as well as Matt Damon struggling to conceal the truth... Ugh! So tense through and through
@@mirakalus I think you are referring to the Korean Film- "INternal Affairs' Not the "INternal Affairs" starring Richard Gere and Andy Garcia. Is that Correct?
You guys are the amazing!!!!!!!!!! Keep the amazing work up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please some do some top ten videos for: 1) Musicals 2) Comic Relief Characters 3) Fourth Wall Breaks 4) Franchises 5) Cameos
If this had been made two years later they would have definitely chosen Parasite. It was partly inspired by one of their picks: High and Low, and is just straight up perfection
10- no country for old men 9- the wages of fear 8- in bruges 7- double indemnity 6- the third man 5- High and low 4- Blow out 3- Day of the jackal 2- A man escaped 1- Vertigo
I’d say the best thrillers are the ones that build up to something only to pull of a brilliant plot twist and completely catch you off guard. Films like The usual suspects, the prestige, Moon
AliaslsailA yes there is nothing worse than a poorly executed plot twist that leaves you confused and disappointed. When talking about films with my friends they often argue that films such as moon or the prestige rely too much on the shock factor of the twist however personally I find the twists in both those films give me even more of a reason to want to watch them again
A brilliant plot twist is one you don't see coming and to also require build up to that brilliant plot twist takes The Prestige (saw the twin coming I think, I've watched it so many times I don't remember anymore [EDIT just remembered they incorporate the idea of the twin into, and discount it in the script; planting the seed that it is in fact a twin]) and the twist in Moon is too early. Don't get me wrong, they're both still fantastic films, but if you compare them to the twist in The Usual Suspects they land in separately great categories.
One film that I think should have at least gotten honorable mention is Spielberg's "Duel". It builds suspense in such a unique way and it's one of those "it could happen to anyone" type of stories. Thanks to that movie, I freak out a little bit every time I see a big truck in my rear view mirror.
Anyone else rate Captain Phillips as highly as me? Relentless tension. I remember coming out of the pictures feeling exhausted, and I knew the ending before I went in. I'd say that's a sign of a good thriller.
I saw that movie as a replacement for a movie we couldn't catch anymore at the cinema and being already there, decided to give Captain Philips a go. It was a good decision. I agree with you the tension in the movie was exhausting, a brilliant game of psychological and fysical warfare between Philips and the pirate captain. That movie was awesome.
I must say that the scene where Hanks has just been ....spoilers....rescued, where he begins to weep is superbly acted, in case anyone should doubt Hanks acting chops.
Love how this channel goes way back in time to make their picks, when cinema was in its purest and most creative form. Nowadays people see a couple of mainstream titles and they think they've seen it all, neglecting the fact that pretty much all genres were already mastered and perfected many decades ago.
Suggestion: Top 10 Films involving Physical Transformation. You can explore categories like man becoming animal, animal becoming man, shrinking, enlarging, becoming a zombie, turning into a monster, switching bodies, and turning from adult to child or child to adult.
Handmaiden is awesome to see and has such an incredible cinematography. I deeply love CWP work. And I really thought Stoker was going to be at least as a mention on this list.
You are soooooooooooo right. This is a great film. I love the final shot when Matthau opens the door and looks back in. Fade to black. Cue the music. In fact, I am going to rewatch right now.
The remake was a soulless zombie clone of the original. And no, I actually saw the remake first, was unimpressed in many ways, then went back and watched the original.
By far the most thrilling film I've ever seen in the genera is Prisoners with Hugh Jackman. I actually had to take several breaks to calm down while watching it. It's incredible with a large dose of mystery as well.
That dynamic between Ralph Finnes and Brenden Gleeson is so good. Finnes firmly believes that Gleeson should be intimidated by him but Gleeson won't have any of it. And Finnes won't acknowledge it either. So wonderful!
Primal Fear, Rear Window, LA Confidential, Marathon Man, North by Northwest, The Lives of Others...all are classic like all the others marvelously listed. That's cinema
My list 10. The Bourne Supremacy 9. Gone girl 8. Prisoners 7. Red Dragon 6. Primal Fear and Red Corner. Richard Gere's two best performances 5. Se7en 4. Collateral 3. Fight Club 2. No country for old men 1. The Silence of the Lambs
Leo Milmet haha I see what you mean. But I just figured as long as we were breaking down thrillers into sub-categories, courtroom dramas, when done right, are full of suspense - the main element that makes a thriller.
10. Fear - No Country For Old Men (2007) 9. Danger - Wages of Fear (1963) 8. Comedy - In Bruges (2008) 7. Erotic - Double Indemnity (1944) 6. Film Noir - The Third Man (1949) 5. Crime - High And Low (1963) 4. Conspiracy - Blow Out (1981) 3. Spy - The Day of The Jackal (1973) 2. Contained - A Man Escaped (1956) 1. Psychological - Vertigo (1958)
I watched Vertigo in my Theater Class and then had to watch it multiple more times because it was so good. This video was like a thriller for me because I was wondering when Vertigo was gonna be mentioned.
I am so glad to see The Parallax View included in this video, even if it isn't one of the top 10. You don't see enough written or hear enough said about that movie.
Thanks for recommending The Day of the Jackal! I had never heard of it and it was a really good watch. I need to work on watching more of the films you guys recommend.
One of the best thrillers I’ve ever seen was a 10 minute short in Tropfest several years ago. It’s about a young boy who finds a rock that he believes was left to him by his future self. I wish I could remember the name, because it is genuinely one of the best short films I’ve ever seen
I'm a bit of a geek for films of the '60s & '70s so I would include THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1,2,3. And THE ANDERSON TAPES. And from much earlier (1944), TO HAVE & HAVE NOT.
Dear Cinefix, What if you were able to secure with Netflix or Amazon or some streaming service a collection of films specifically organized and based on your top ten lists?! I believe it would be epic and save me so much time from having to chase down your picks and also give me a legit way of answering your pervading, end of video question, "So what do you think?" If you not only gave us the list but a way to watch all your picks so we could decide if we agree with you that would be incredible! So what do you think? (Thanks for reading this far...)
The Guest 2014 Green Room 2015 I Saw the Devil 2010 Exam 2009 The Invitation 2015 Get Out 2016 A Quiet Place 2018 ...best low-budget thriller movies ever !
I think anyone that only lists movies sine blue screen is an a hole--- do you have one of those gatsby-esque moustaches- do you only drink gin- have you even seen mark jacksons (jacko) "Im an individual [you can't blame me]"
I think cinema, ought be somehow separate from CGI, nevertheless there have been been some great films since the turn of the millenium.... that being said, cinema like rock n roll had a golden age, so did dance music, and it is 20 C stuff, just saying, strange times, Strange(r) days
So glad you got In Bruges, Double Indemnity and The Third Man and made note of Phone Booth. My only quibbles not having Oldboy and Blow Up topping their category but still this is a fantastic list
The greatest thriller of all time is Nocturnal Animals, by Tom Ford, because it's about all of the following . . 1) Excitement letting itself experience loneliness, so that loneliness can experience excitement 2) Beauty hating its observer, so that reality has no choice but to self-destruct 3) All violence deserving a reaction from everywhere in reality 4) The ideal image of reality being the inability to observe the act of observation 5) Importance being created by the death of importance 6) All behaviour only existing outside the universe 7) The avoidance of death only being possible because of the avoidance of symmetry 8) Observation having to be a destructive experience, in order to give the observed the ability to not hate 9) A cause being a literal creator of an effect, meaning that any reaction in reality has to exist twice at the same time
This movie is so underrated! Tom Ford is underrated as a director. I was Hitchcock-level tense just from the first scene with the car getting up to the driveway. And then we get on the road... Great film. From beginning to end. Full of amazing performances. This and Silence were on my top 3 of 2016 and were completely snubbed at awards. But they will last a lot longer in the minds of film lovers than some other movies that won big that year.
The movie is very underrated. And I adore the way Amy Adams is shown in the film, living by herself in her mansion, because it represents the idea that the ultimate goal of reality is to create the ability to react to nothing. I honestly can't say enough things, about the way the movie treats Susan Morrow when alone in her home - it's the sort of art and the sort of movie-making that's agonizing to rationalise and analyse
You're right. On a surface level this movie is a great, tense thriller, but there is so much more underneath. A lot to analyze. I loved Aaron Taylor-Johnson's surprising and unnerving performance, but Amy Adams' has so much depth! And it was taken for granted. Oh! and that ending! (and to think a lot of people must have hated this movie because of it) It says so much! And her eyes! You've made me want to rewatch it now.
It's possible that Amy Adams was deliberately cast in the film, because of her appearance: she has a style of face and voice that alludes to history (such as the 50's), and therefore it feels like she was used to create the sense that history is undoing itself. It's normal to think of the 50's as a time of time, and of culture and backdrop, and so by casting an actress that is reminiscent of that period it's as if the movie is a commentary on the idea that history wants to help the present
Thanks for Top 100 (hundred) list ;). You named so many movies. Loved it. Love the voice and the way it is described seems a nice journey into getting to know these movies. Most I have not seen and great to have your videos to add more movies in my watch list. :)
Its probably not on the list but No Way Out was so good. Costner, Hackman, Sean Young, Will Patton. Unbelievable tension in several different ways. Also, a Never Saw It Coming twist.
I had to wait for "Old Country for No Men" to come out on video because the movie had me so excited my girlfriend at the time got embarrassed and made us leave the theater. I'll admit though, it was a theater that served alcohol and that was really intensifying everything that was going on. So the movie held me in suspense for a long while until I could finally watch it on my own at home. :P
Jeff Jordan Exactly. This list is specious at best. It tends to favor early Hollywood movies over newer ones. I actually think that they leave out 7 or 8 of the greater thrillers ever made.

Tnqu..😙😗😘
That thumbnail looks like a nice potential for a meme
In Bruges is just so perfect I can't explain my love for that film enough
James A. Baldwin I just love the dig at Tottenham, adds a star to the film itself
Beyond perfect. Every time I hear that name, my heart pounds harder
YOU DONT HAVV TAA!
The acting of Colin Farrell is stellar!
You're an inanimate fucking object!!
I'm glad Perfect Blue at least got a reference in the psychological thriller. That film, and Satoshi Kon in general, is criminally underrated by western critics.
Vertigo still deserves the top spot, of course.
I am so happy you guys have “in Bruges “ on the list . One of the most underrated movies in my book
I love how you guys don`t always pick the incredibly obvious choice. On other lists, I usually have already seen most if not all of the films. With you guys, I get some great recommendations for movies i`ve often never heard of and I love it! Keep up the amazing work!
Claire Hess 👍👍👍👍👍
that's a good point of view !
They pick movie that are over 60 years old cus theyre hipster douchebags.
@@Scorch428 typical of someone who doesn’t understand cinema to think liking old or art house films is “pretentious” go back to your super hero movies douche bag
plus, they're usually all films from the last three or four years.
In Bruges has always been criminally underrated. One of my all-time favourites!
It's not a CineFix list if The Third Man isn't on it.
and no country, bonus points if they mention the coin scene
Or the Mirror
To be fair... The Third Man is pretty damn great and so is No Country
Citizen Kane, No Country for Old Men, The Third Man, and the Mirror.
Austin Wilde To be fair, all three are fantastic films
In Bruges is my favorite movie. Just everything I liked: actors, theme, setting, music, humor, and relatable in ways.
Easily in my top 10. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.
i wanna see it today using my boxxy software! hope this movie deserve my attention
"You look like a fucking elephant!"
Tell me. What did I miss? And this from a guy who loves "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."
It's more like drama than thriller thugh. This list sucks.
"Anton Chigurh" is one the most terrifying villains ever walked the planet Earth.
I did not know this name, but i googled it and i expected a certain guy. And YES, i was the expected. 👀
The contained control I think is what is scariest. Like Hannibal Lector.
My favourite is gonna be The Wailing by Na Hong-jin. Okay it's more like a horror film but the thriller elements are so good. The horror, suspense, deception, survival, everything are extremely pushed to the level that you can't even imagine. It's for me one of the best Korean film I have ever watch.
I really appreciate the brief mention of 2010's Buried in the contained thriller section. It's so deeply underrated and underviewed that even a flash mention in the same breath as so many other greats makes me supremely happy.
I prefer Sluizer's 1988 French-Dutch film The Vanishing
Someone forgot to press shift at 3:15
J. Diamond Obviously the movie is from the year 92005.
....making it a far far future classic and waaaay ahead of it's time, no?
A keen I eye see
i came here to simply find a movie to watch and then you take me on a ride for a film class lol f
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) is sadly missing from this list. It alone fits several categories including the romantic thriller and the crime thriller.
"in bruges" is a must see
The actual title is "In fookin' Bruges".
Hasan Ali as is Calvary. Which I am surprised wasnt on here
Unlike Three Billboards.
Jack Healy it is as much as In Bruges is. Priest gets told he is going to be killed on sunday, like thats going to end well, and you spend the entire film trying to work out who it is.
Jack Healy how is it that not psychological thiller?
3:13 "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 92005)"
Someone forgot to *S H I F T*
I am a simple man.
I see a movie list with In Bruges in it.
I press like.
kthnkbye.
did u watch 24 movie of surya 🤣🤣
Definitely "Seven" belongs here.
"Le salaire de la peur" - one of the most... thrilling films ever made. Loved it!
Cinefix picking "The Third Man" quel surprise....Just as an exercise, you should the top 10 worst movies of all time. with categories like guilty pleasure, and fun to make fun of and even influential bad movies that have great movies made as a response.
what a great idea! yeah do that
The thing about 'influential bad movies' is just you wanting to see Cinefix talk about The Room and Disaster Artist.
Luke S. Although accurate that is not entirely true. Cheesy movies and guilty pleasures and even cult classics are often bad movies objectively. I'll watch high school musical unashamedly but that doesn't make it good. I guess what I'm looking for is a best worst movies with some thought provoking reasons why as I have come to expect from cinefix
Oh god yes, just to see what surprises they come up with :D
Honestly, not a fan of collin
I always love the diversity of your choices -- this time, you've got several I haven't seen, but the ones I have seen are perfect selections for exactly the reasons you point out.
In Bruges! Awesome.
bruges is a shithole
I haven't seen it but it sounds a lot like snatch.
A bit, yeah, same type of movie in general, specially with the humor, but still, a great film, go watch In Bruges
TheLastArkham lol no its not, you are
Its one of the first lines of the movie.
Vertigo is my all-time favourite movie. What can someone say? It's pure art. Excellent photography, flawless acting and a well-constructed script transform this film into a suspense classic!
Glad to see 'M' mentioned. Don't discount old films... it's just as good as anything today
Old filma are waay B E T T ER ! Original film noir is the thing and nothing cant beat that ;) sure its an opinion for everyone to make
one of the best
Fritz Lang's 1931 "M" is one of the best films ever made. Easily on the same level as Hitchcock's Vertigo. Both are master pieces that had tremendous impact on movie industry.

In Bruges is perfection. Mix genres with extreme efficience.
honestly such an underrated film
Such an unexpected surprise that the main antagonist actually sticks to his principles.
Madlad Junoir i don't know any dark comedy with the dramatic strenght present in this movie.
All it takes is just to heat the Canadian...
the ending was just hilarously ironic
Is it possible to do TV shows in this format too? Have you another channel for that? Would love your in depth opinions of some great TV shows
TVfix... That sound really catchy
Or Telefix...
Or Idiot Bix.
or Get your kicks on Route 66
It probably is, it would just be much more demanding since the CineFix crew would have to watch dozens of hours of footage to find the examples they need and then edit that footage together. Also barring the last ten years, TV shows really did not have the resources, time, and technical prowess to match the cinematic language of Film. TV Episodes were meant to be film and shot within a week at most, that just doesn't leave much room for experimentation or error.
How about thrillers based on actual events? 'Zodiac'... 'Apollo 13', etc..
He mentioned Zodiac.
caffeineadvocate good subject but I think other 10 subjects have more films than this ...
The Insider was one
Those would straddle existing subgenres: Zodiac is a crime thriller; Apollo 13 and 127 Hours are contained thrillers (a surprisingly big subgenre); Munich is a spy thriller.
I can see categorizing them separately, as movies like Munich or 127 Hours seem to have a special weight to them because you know they are based on real events. At the same time, however, those two don't really go together - it's more a characteristic than a genre.

I'd say stick with defining the subgenres by tones and themes and other aspects essential to the film, as opposed to the relationship between the film and the real world.
Nick Kordich - Just spitballing an idea for a list-- doesn't have to fit into this one.
You proved your brilliant cinematic taste by choosing NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. It is the best movie among in the list
Vertigo and The Third Man are the best on the list
Best thriller : The year 2020
No one can argue.
Nightcrawler and The Departed as well! The Departed is - in my opinion - the perfect example. Nicholson's insanity mounting with Leonardo's visible discomfort and anxiety, as well as Matt Damon struggling to conceal the truth... Ugh! So tense through and through
if you like the departed, you need to see the original "Infernal Affairs" it's very good. +2sequels, i think...
Will do, thank you for the recommendation!
@@mirakalus I think you are referring to the Korean Film- "INternal Affairs' Not the "INternal Affairs" starring Richard Gere and Andy Garcia. Is that Correct?

I’d say the best thrillers are the ones that build up to something only to pull of a brilliant plot twist and completely catch you off guard. Films like The usual suspects, the prestige, Moon
Brilliant if it's masterfully executed than yes, otherwise it easily becomes nothing more than cheap showmanship.

One film that I think should have at least gotten honorable mention is Spielberg's "Duel". It builds suspense in such a unique way and it's one of those "it could happen to anyone" type of stories. Thanks to that movie, I freak out a little bit every time I see a big truck in my rear view mirror.
Anyone else rate Captain Phillips as highly as me?
Relentless tension. I remember coming out of the pictures feeling exhausted, and I knew the ending before I went in. I'd say that's a sign of a good thriller.
I saw that movie as a replacement for a movie we couldn't catch anymore at the cinema and being already there, decided to give Captain Philips a go. It was a good decision. I agree with you the tension in the movie was exhausting, a brilliant game of psychological and fysical warfare between Philips and the pirate captain. That movie was awesome.
Great movie, the acting in that last scene was mindblowingly magnificent
I must say that the scene where Hanks has just been ....spoilers....rescued, where he begins to weep is superbly acted, in case anyone should doubt Hanks acting chops.
vampierusboy that's not how you spell physical.
I second this too
Love how this channel goes way back in time to make their picks, when cinema was in its purest and most creative form. Nowadays people see a couple of mainstream titles and they think they've seen it all, neglecting the fact that pretty much all genres were already mastered and perfected many decades ago.
In Bruges is criminally underrated I’m very happy to see it get some recognition.:)
Suggestion: Top 10 Films involving Physical Transformation. You can explore categories like man becoming animal, animal becoming man, shrinking, enlarging, becoming a zombie, turning into a monster, switching bodies, and turning from adult to child or child to adult.
Love that you chose High and Low. One of my favorite Kurosawa movies.
Lorin Adam, same, I even forgive them for merely mentioning _The Silence of the Lambs_ (they were in the same category). Incredible film :D
The Handmaiden and Memories of Murder were at least mentioned. Nice!
live for that dope ass Korean cinema.
Oldboy too
So happy both were mentioned along with Oldboy. Korean cinema is fucking amazing.
Watched Age Of Shadows of late, great film
Handmaiden is awesome to see and has such an incredible cinematography. I deeply love CWP work. And I really thought Stoker was going to be at least as a mention on this list.
Left out one of my favorite thrillers: The Taking of Pelham, One-Two-Three (1974)
You are soooooooooooo right. This is a great film. I love the final shot when Matthau opens the door and looks back in. Fade to black. Cue the music. In fact, I am going to rewatch right now.
The remake was a soulless zombie clone of the original. And no, I actually saw the remake first, was unimpressed in many ways, then went back and watched the original.
@@fredloeper8579
Before going back in...
"Gesundheit."
One of the best closing lines ever!
By far the most thrilling film I've ever seen in the genera is Prisoners with Hugh Jackman. I actually had to take several breaks to calm down while watching it. It's incredible with a large dose of mystery as well.
that's what she said..!
So true
I freaking love In Brugges. The movie is madly funny, madly messed up and in short amazing.
I'm convinced at this point you continue to mention The Third Man to intentionally piss off a portion of your audience.
I just watched The Third Man, and it is very good, but really. It is too slow moving to categorize it as a "Thriller".
I vividly remember as I first watched "The Wages of Fear" on Hungarian state TV some 35 years ago, my knuckles white. Great film.
Its American version, "Sorcerer" was also great.
That dynamic between Ralph Finnes and Brenden Gleeson is so good. Finnes firmly believes that Gleeson should be intimidated by him but Gleeson won't have any of it. And Finnes won't acknowledge it either. So wonderful!
Primal Fear, Rear Window, LA Confidential, Marathon Man, North by Northwest, The Lives of Others...all are classic like all the others marvelously listed. That's cinema
In Bruges is a phenomenal film
I love everything you guys do.
$20 says you could find a way to put Third Man on the list of Best 90s Romantic Comedies.
3:17 TYPO!!! KISS KISS BANG BANG 92005) instead of (2005).
Video ruined 1/10! Unsubscribe
Lol just joshing, good video!
My20GUNS you're a PE teacher in 2003.
Luke S Iwish I had that kind of stable career....
This is my favorite channel on RUclips. I'm finally going to watch The Third Man after your constant recommendations.
My list
10. The Bourne Supremacy
9. Gone girl
8. Prisoners
7. Red Dragon
6. Primal Fear and Red Corner. Richard Gere's two best performances
5. Se7en
4. Collateral
3. Fight Club
2. No country for old men
1. The Silence of the Lambs
Apparently Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was made in the year 92005.
What about courtroom thrillers? Rainmaker, A Few Good Men, 12 Angry Men (kind of).
Get 2 the Movies those r all more courtroom dramas. But when going by ur logic u should add INHERIT THE WIND.
Leo Milmet haha I see what you mean. But I just figured as long as we were breaking down thrillers into sub-categories, courtroom dramas, when done right, are full of suspense - the main element that makes a thriller.
A Time to Kill.
Runaway Jury
Get 2 the Movies you mean the episode of charmed that is titled 12 angry zen....? Just kidding it titled after that movie I guess
Now people will cry about their favourite movies not being mentioned.
Bro, you forgot to mention Hell Or High Water:):)
Ashish Sharma instead it’s just people crying about how they don’t watch black and white films
My top 10 thrillers are:
1. Jaws (1975)
2. Drive (2011)
3. Taxi Driver (1976)
4. Chinatown (1974)
5. Léon: the professional (1994)
6. Reservoir dogs (1992)
7. Duel (1971)
8. Silence of the lambs (1991)
9. Gone Girl (2014)
10. The departed (2006)
yes, and "All Good Things...:"
William Friedkin's Sorcerer is the most thrilling, nail-biting and jolting film ever made. It almost qualifies as a horror film .
No country for old men is the most suspenseful movie I have ever seen
Then u wTch get out
When I was in Wien/Vienna, I just had to go see the ferris wheel from "The Third Man".
For me, it and the sewer system were the most interesting parts. Wouldn't be on my list.
14:23 Showing Perfect Blue then Black Swan? Is that a jab?
10. Fear - No Country For Old Men (2007)
9. Danger - Wages of Fear (1963)
8. Comedy - In Bruges (2008)
7. Erotic - Double Indemnity (1944)
6. Film Noir - The Third Man (1949)
5. Crime - High And Low (1963)
4. Conspiracy - Blow Out (1981)
3. Spy - The Day of The Jackal (1973)
2. Contained - A Man Escaped (1956)
1. Psychological - Vertigo (1958)
i watches in bruges about 400 times. i love the mood of the movie so much and it has so brilliant humor! perfect role for colin ferrell
In bruges is such a good movie and so underappreciated
I watched Vertigo in my Theater Class and then had to watch it multiple more times because it was so good. This video was like a thriller for me because I was wondering when Vertigo was gonna be mentioned.
My idea of suspense:
And when she saw herself in the mirror SHE WAS HER OWN MOTHER!!!! (Rod serling voice)
tan tan taaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!
Serling*
brian0918 thanks dude
What is tan tan taaaaaan?
Watch Predestination
yes! such a fun and thought provoking movie.
I am so glad to see The Parallax View included in this video, even if it isn't one of the top 10. You don't see enough written or hear enough said about that movie.
Wow.. that was an awesome review, not only inclding the best 10, but adding similar good movies within each genre.. awesome work bud.
Thanks for recommending The Day of the Jackal! I had never heard of it and it was a really good watch. I need to work on watching more of the films you guys recommend.
One of the best thrillers I’ve ever seen was a 10 minute short in Tropfest several years ago. It’s about a young boy who finds a rock that he believes was left to him by his future self. I wish I could remember the name, because it is genuinely one of the best short films I’ve ever seen
"Time"
Finalist of Tropfest Australia 2013
"someone DED"
cant unhear
In Bruges is my top #1 movie ever, it's funny, depressing, beautiful, great acting - all I need
I'm a bit of a geek for films of the '60s & '70s so I would include THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1,2,3. And THE ANDERSON TAPES.
And from much earlier (1944), TO HAVE & HAVE NOT.
Dear Cinefix,
What if you were able to secure with Netflix or Amazon or some streaming service a collection of films specifically organized and based on your top ten lists?! I believe it would be epic and save me so much time from having to chase down your picks and also give me a legit way of answering your pervading, end of video question, "So what do you think?"
If you not only gave us the list but a way to watch all your picks so we could decide if we agree with you that would be incredible!
So what do you think?
(Thanks for reading this far...)
The Guest 2014
Green Room 2015
I Saw the Devil 2010
Exam 2009
The Invitation 2015
Get Out 2016
A Quiet Place 2018 ...best low-budget thriller movies ever !
I think anyone that only lists movies sine blue screen is an a hole--- do you have one of those gatsby-esque moustaches- do you only drink gin- have you even seen mark jacksons (jacko) "Im an individual [you can't blame me]"
I think cinema, ought be somehow separate from CGI, nevertheless there have been been some great films since the turn of the millenium.... that being said, cinema like rock n roll had a golden age, so did dance music, and it is 20 C stuff, just saying, strange times, Strange(r) days
No love for A History of Violence?
Devin Murdock a great movie that deserves more recognition like Eastern Promises as well
History, got my vote. Well done
So glad you got In Bruges, Double Indemnity and The Third Man and made note of Phone Booth. My only quibbles not having Oldboy and Blow Up topping their category but still this is a fantastic list
Love your choices ...... not just in the last 10 years of cinema YT film reviewers tend to talk about.
Your videos need to be like an hour.
that's called a class xD
an hour or 'like an hour'?
Hour-ish.
The amount of times they mention "The Third Man" on this channel...
Literally read this a second before they mentioned it hahaha
The greatest thriller of all time is Nocturnal Animals, by Tom Ford, because it's about all of the following . .
1) Excitement letting itself experience loneliness, so that loneliness can experience excitement
2) Beauty hating its observer, so that reality has no choice but to self-destruct
3) All violence deserving a reaction from everywhere in reality
4) The ideal image of reality being the inability to observe the act of observation
5) Importance being created by the death of importance
6) All behaviour only existing outside the universe
7) The avoidance of death only being possible because of the avoidance of symmetry
8) Observation having to be a destructive experience, in order to give the observed the ability to not hate
9) A cause being a literal creator of an effect, meaning that any reaction in reality has to exist twice at the same time
This movie is so underrated! Tom Ford is underrated as a director. I was Hitchcock-level tense just from the first scene with the car getting up to the driveway. And then we get on the road... Great film. From beginning to end. Full of amazing performances. This and Silence were on my top 3 of 2016 and were completely snubbed at awards. But they will last a lot longer in the minds of film lovers than some other movies that won big that year.
The movie is very underrated. And I adore the way Amy Adams is shown in the film, living by herself in her mansion, because it represents the idea that the ultimate goal of reality is to create the ability to react to nothing.
I honestly can't say enough things, about the way the movie treats Susan Morrow when alone in her home - it's the sort of art and the sort of movie-making that's agonizing to rationalise and analyse
You're right. On a surface level this movie is a great, tense thriller, but there is so much more underneath. A lot to analyze. I loved Aaron Taylor-Johnson's surprising and unnerving performance, but Amy Adams' has so much depth! And it was taken for granted. Oh! and that ending! (and to think a lot of people must have hated this movie because of it) It says so much! And her eyes! You've made me want to rewatch it now.
It's possible that Amy Adams was deliberately cast in the film, because of her appearance: she has a style of face and voice that alludes to history (such as the 50's), and therefore it feels like she was used to create the sense that history is undoing itself. It's normal to think of the 50's as a time of time, and of culture and backdrop, and so by casting an actress that is reminiscent of that period it's as if the movie is a commentary on the idea that history wants to help the present
You can never go wrong with The Third Man. Excellent!!
I thought at least an honorable mention should have gone to “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” for best spy thriller.
My favorite!!!
Best Psychological Thriller for me is Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.
NO THRILLER IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT "OLDBOY". another category - "disturbing in-ur-face thriller"..
You do know that oldboy was mentioned in this list right?
The japanese or with Josh Brolin?
@@titulopatitot South Korean*
Is it South Korean? Sorry my bad. I haven't watch it yet but yeah they said it was good.
@@titulopatitot It's excellent, give it a watch; but yea unfortunately the remake with Brolin was a flop. They should have left the original alone.
The Third Man is *the* masterpiece of the twentieth century.
I could not agree more !!
I love how much CineFix adore The Third Man, because i do too.
It was ok
I love that each movie scene is labelled.
4:44 a silly little belgium town. Boi you roasted Belgium so hard with this one. It's their most beautifull city hahahaha
Not even a mention of the movie "The Usual Suspects" Keyser Soze will not be pleased
It’s more crime/mystery than a thriller more Goodfellas than Maltese Falcon.
I guessed the ending too early for it to have kept my interest. I didn't really care who he was, anyway.
- Don’t breathe
- the invitation
- Insomnia
- Duel
Don't breathe 😍😍😍
Insomnia 😍😍😍😍
Don’t breathe
Thanks for Top 100 (hundred) list ;). You named so many movies. Loved it. Love the voice and the way it is described seems a nice journey into getting to know these movies. Most I have not seen and great to have your videos to add more movies in my watch list. :)
Its probably not on the list but No Way Out was so good. Costner, Hackman, Sean Young, Will Patton. Unbelievable tension in several different ways. Also, a Never Saw It Coming twist.
Hey, you didn't mention 'The Recruit' for Will They Get Caught or Will They Get Exposed or Spy Thriller tier. I highly recommend it.
With your user name, I'm surprised why you didn't mention Closely Watched Trains
I had to wait for "Old Country for No Men" to come out on video because the movie had me so excited my girlfriend at the time got embarrassed and made us leave the theater. I'll admit though, it was a theater that served alcohol and that was really intensifying everything that was going on. So the movie held me in suspense for a long while until I could finally watch it on my own at home. :P
No real mention of "The Silence of the Lambs"?? A great movie in every way.
Jeff Jordan Exactly. This list is specious at best. It tends to favor early Hollywood movies over newer ones. I actually think that they leave out 7 or 8 of the greater thrillers ever made.
I think North By Northwest is a better thriller than Vertigo.
The silence of the lambs was best movie in the 90s not in 2000s... Movie sucks balls because it didn't age well.
Such a great way to list out the films into 10 different sub genres. Well done
So glad that Marathon Man was given a honorable mention.
