  Not that it's a Great Movie. The opening ten minutes (I just saw it recently for the first time) were so violent I almost gave up on it, but there was some retribution for that. And not once, not twice but *three times* it turned in a direction that this keen viewer found totally unpredictable and each time was a THRILL! Plus the final shot... WHAT A SHOT!

  Wow! "The Searchers" isn't on the list. I'd have included several more classic Westerns. Even a slow-paced film like "Shane" is more "thrilling" than many on the list.

  Guess which well-regarded (and recently discussed) American director's films didn't make the list. Maybe he doesn't "thrill" critics, either.

    Which one?

    At first I too was surprised they branded many of those films as "thrillers", until I read the title - I guess a film doesn't have to be a thriller to thrill.

    I agree with klaus, The Usual Suspects was well, quite thrilling...

  As I acknowledge the impossibility of selecting any top 100, I must point out the lack of such all time favourites of mine as Seven and
  Lost Highway ... IMO certainly more of a thrill than some of the otherwise fine films included on the list.

  Having seen probably half of that list, I can hardly identify six movies as 'thrilling'. Hear the voice of protest: they included James Bond comedy (isn't that British by the way) but skipped Pink Panther! In the name of Sir Charles Litton I want it there!

  What else comes to mind from the recently seen tapes and what was really thrilling:

  Glengarry Glenross
  The Usual Suspects
  Emperor and Assassin (oops, not American)

    In checking the list I have seen them all except:

    Strangers on a Train
    Touch of Evil
    Laura
    Gaslight
    Safety Last
    Adventures of Robin Hood
    Braveheart (have seen about an hour of it)

    There are some great movies on this list. There was a movie "Last House on The Left" which was quite a thriller!! Scared the crap out of me when I saw it.
