Personal Favourities

1) Captain Phillips


Captain Phillips is a personal favourite thriller film of mine because I like films that are based on true events in the world. Captain Phillips is a film about the 2009 somali pirate invasion on the U.S containership the Maersk Alabama. The captain of the ship Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), looks to protect his ship and his crew from the hostile invaders, and their leader, Muse (Barkhad Adbi). What makes this a good thriller for me are the fast cuts from cameras, the music that creates tension through out the film and the fact that the protagonist is at the mercy of the antagonist.

                         




2) Iron Man

The Iron Man film is the first of the trilogy, but as it is the first it is obviously the best one. Iron Man is a film about a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), who is conducting weapons tests overseas, but terrorists kidnap him to force him to build a devastating weapon. What makes Iron Man a good thriller for me is the fast pass of the film in action scenes.    

Which Thrillers Are Considered the Best of All Time

People go to thriller films because they want to be frightened or they wouldn't do it twice. You choose your entertainment because you want it to affect you. That's certainly true of people who go to entertainment products like thriller films that have big effects.

Some of the best thrillers are:

1) The Silence of the Lambs

Jodie Foster stars as Clarice Starling, a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.

2) Seven

When retiring police Detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) tackles a final case with the aid of newly transferred David Mills (Brad Pitt), they discover a number of elaborate and grizzly murders. They soon realize they are dealing with a serial killer (Kevin Spacey) who is targeting people he thinks represent one of the seven deadly sins. Somerset also befriends Mills' wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow), who is pregnant and afraid to raise her child in the crime-riddled city.






3) Psycho

Phoenix secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), on the lam after stealing $40,000 from her employer in order to run away with her boyfriend, Sam Loomis (John Gavin), is overcome by exhaustion during a heavy rainstorm. Traveling on the back roads to avoid the police, she stops for the night at the ramshackle Bates Motel and meets the polite but highly strung proprietor Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), a young man with an interest in taxidermy and a difficult relationship with his mother.
