Only the most hardened of film fans can brave the best thriller movies of all time. No other genre can make your hands grip the armrest, stiffen your back, and cause you to feel uncomfortably sweaty with tension.
However, be itupcoming moviesor classic picks; we can all agree that it’s tricky to determine the makings of a great thriller movie. Thrillers are another genre that lends itself to any scenario. The car chases link to thebest action movies, the gritty encounters shock us like horrors do, and the classic whodunnit setups are all thebest crime movies' bread and butter.
25. Prisoners
(Image credit: Warner Bros)
Year:2013Director:Denis Villeneuve
As you’d expect from the director of Sicario and Blade Runner 2049, Prisoners is a film with lots of things to say. At face value, it’s a desperately bleak American crime story which taps into every parent’s fears about the responsibility of guardianship in an increasingly tumultuous world. However, while it starts like a typical thriller movie, Prisoners quickly takes several turns into the unexpected, leaving you overwhelmed within its muddied maze of suburban disturbia.

24. Misery
(Image credit: Columbia Pictures)
Year:1990Director:Rob Reiner
As an author chained to his best-selling series of melodrama novels that Annie just loves, his desperate need to create something fresh doesn’t go over well with her. Annie’s off her rocker and thinks nothing of a light spot of hobbling before dinner. Her brutishness is shockingly convincing, thanks to director Rob Reiner’s spot-on editing. Each scene is crafted to squeeze every bit of tension from Paul’s imprisoned scenario. The film is also one ofStephen King’s favourite stories, so it’s a must-watch!
23. Nightcrawler
(Image credit: Entertainment One)
Year:2014Director:Dan Gilroy
People tend to die a lot in thriller movies, usually as the result of a tense shootout or horrific murder. But what happens in the aftermath of the chaos? Nightcrawler poses that unconventional question before slowly peeling back the answer with a story that’s just as cynical and bone-crawling as any other L.A. Noire thriller.

22. Shutter Island
(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)
Year: 2010Director:Martin Scorsese
What follows is one of Scorsese’s most surprising works, packed with a twist-tastic ending that he’d previously shown little interest towards in his earlier films. That’s partly down to the source material, as Dennis Lehane’s novel springs to life in the creepiest of ways. The whole film is peppered with little hints here and there to make you question what the hell is happening, right along with DiCaprio. If you are after more from one of the best directors around, you can read our ranking of thebest Martin Scorsese movies.

21. Ex Machina
(Image credit: Universal Pictures)
Year:2014Director:Alex Garland
As that synopsis suggests, Ex Machina’s got a deeply Black Mirror vibe, not afraid to dwell on the dark recesses of our fascination with technology and the dangers of playing God. As a thriller, it’s a slow burner, but the payoff for the intrepid viewer is a gleefully bleak curtain closer that’s about as dark as you’d imagine from Garland’s first directorial effort. A great thriller movie likes to keep its audience paranoid, but Ex Machina excels as a parable that’ll make you more paranoid about the world you’re living in than the one you just saw on screen.

20. Insomnia
(Image credit: Warner Bros)
Year:2002Director:Christopher Nolan
The movie’s frequent comparisons to a modern-day Sleepy Hollow aren’t just a poor attempt at wordplay. Insomnia is a slow, sedated thriller dressed up in a hypnotic atmosphere of mystery. Nolan’s eerie images are a poetic reflection of Al Pacino’s increasingly hallucinatory state as he loses more hours of precious snooze time. But you’ll be far from sleepy as you watch the drama progress, instead left wide-eyed with fascination at Williams’ uncanny performance.
19. The Game
(Image credit: PolyGram Films)
Year:1997Director:David Fincher
Michael Douglas' entire resume, when it comes to starring in thebest ‘90s movies, is playing guys pissed at the status quo. In Falling Down, he chooses to riot his way through Los Angeles, whereas in The Game, he chooses to say ‘yes’ to new experiences. It’s something he regrets, obviously. David Fincher follows up Seven with another sting-in-the-tail thriller movie about businessman Nicholas Van Orton. Bored with his vast wealth and fearful that he may turn into his father, he longs for change, so his brother Conrad (Sean Penn) gives him a voucher for a game as a birthday gift.
It’s baffling that the movie didn’t do better in theatres despite a strong critical response. This is a straightforward set-up with a twist you should see coming. Heck, it’s told to us often enough throughout the film, but that’s the genius of Fincher, managing to construct an atmosphere of paranoia that’s truly gripping.
18. Black Swan
(Image credit: Searchlight Pictures)
Year:2010Director:Darren Aronofsky
From the first trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s twisted ballet tale, it was clear that Black Swan wasn’t an arthouse drama about the perils of doing a perfect plié. That one shot of Natalie Portman’s ballet dancer turning around to face herself in the mirror, a messed-up impossibility, saw to that.
The Requiem for a Dream director brings his same sharp, visual style to a story of artistic obsession that follows Portman’s Nina, a hard-working perfectionist who aches for the lead in Swan Lake. That’s no easy feat because if she’s not battling her unhinged mom (think Carrie’s mother but about a million times worse) or the sexual advances of her colleagues, she’s facing a monstrous transformation. But then again, all those doppelgangers leering at her from surfaces and dark tunnels could just be hallucinations. It’s not clear to Nina or to us what’s real.

17. Green Room

Year:2015Director:Jeremy Saulnier
16. Oldboy
(Image credit: Arrow Films)
Year:2003Director:Park Chan-Wook
If you’ve yet to experience the mind-bending wonder of Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy, immediately get this on your watchlist. The middle chapter of his revenge trilogy put the Korean filmmaker’s name into the spotlight, and is now a firm cult favourite, even spawning an inferior Hollywood remake a few years back.
Nothing quite prepares businessman Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) for the events that follow a drunken night out. Tossed in jail, he calls his buddy to bail him out and is then kidnapped for 15 years. The entire time, he’s left to stew in a tiny hotel room until he’s mysteriously set free and given five days to track down his captor or suffer the consequences. This isn’t just a whodunnit; it’s a whydunnit. Dae-su’s journey is a bloody, thrilling affair, full of plot twists and reveals that are jaw-dropping. It’s David Lynch tossed into a blender with Quentin Tarantino.

15. Zodiac
(Image credit: Warner Bros)
Year:2007Director:David Fincher
Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., and the rest of the San Francisco Chronicle spend years trying to track down their serial murderer, but - faithful to the real case - nothing ever comes of their efforts. There are suspects and leads, but no one is able to offer a definitive answer, and the film doesn’t even wish to lean one way or the other on any particular theory about the fugitive’s true identity. Zodiac works as a mystery thriller because it indulges in the thrills of its own mystery.
14. No Country for Old Men
(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)
Year:2007Director:Ethan Coen and Joel Coen
Dressing a thriller up in the garb of the modern Western isn’t new, but something interesting was always going to happen with that archetype when you have the Coen brothers involved. And No Country for Old Men is definitely interesting. Better yet, as a thriller, it’s downright invigorating. Right from its opening moments, the multi-tiered plot roars into gear, refusing to slow down for a single minute of its two-hour runtime.
Structurally, it’s a film founded on old-school sentiments, with good guys (Tommy Lee Jones’ exasperated lawman) and bad guys (Javier Bardem, in a show-stopping turn as a creepy hitman), but the Coens paint shades of grey into every scene, suggesting that the glory days of the Wild West are long gone. Entire dissertations have been written on the socio-political commentary running beneath the surface of the Coen’s modern masterpiece, but the good news is that, even when enjoying it at face value, No Country for Old Men remains a joyride of a thriller.

13. The Birds
(Image credit: Universal Pictures)
Year:1963Director:Alfred Hitchcock
Trust Hitchcock to turn a movie about angry birds into one of the best thrillers of all time. We still don’t know why Bodega Bay’s avian inhabitants become increasingly bloodthirsty throughout the course of the director’s last great movie, and, while plenty of elaborate theories about the film’s subtext are out there, the absence of explanation is what maintains the sheer exhilaration of it all. The audience is as confused and surprised as the rest of Bodega Bay about what’s going on, meaning each cascading bird attack becomes more traumatising and exhausting.
It’s over 50 years old, but The Birds is still as delightfully scary and nerve-wracking as it was when it first riled audiences back in 1963. You can almost hear Hitchcock giggling with delight in the background as the bubbling pot of tension slowly boils over before fizzing out into full-blown feathery mayhem.
12. The Departed
(Image credit: Warner Bros)
Year:2006Director:Martin Scorsese
How many stars can you pack into one movie? Martin Scorsese’s remake of Infernal Affairs has got ‘em all, and they’re mostly playing against type in this complex story of deceit in the criminal underworld. This is one of those rare occasions when the remake is just as good as the original movie.
The whole of The Departed is played out via a simultaneous double cross: Leonardo DiCaprio’s cop goes undercover with the mob, while Matt Damon’s gangster infiltrates the NYPD. That scenario will never end well, especially with a huge cast of supporting characters on the sting - Jack Nicholson, Vera Farmiga, and Alec Baldwin, to name a few. But that’s half of the thrill here. Scorsese drops in several visual clues about future events, letting them fester in your subconscious, but reworks some of the main twists to keep it fresh for purists.
Avoid working with rats; read ourThe Departed reviewinstead.
11. The Usual Suspects
(Image credit: Rank Film Distributors)
Year:1995Director:Bryan Singer
A contemporary classic that arrived slap bang in the middle of the twist-obsessed ’90s, The Usual Suspects brought director Bryan Singer and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie acclaim for their fresh spin on the tired gangster genre. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, in which case, Singer and McQuarrie should be overwhelmed with it: this film’s influence can still be felt in cinema to this very day. It’s unlike any other movie of its time, completely confident in going out of the box with the way its story is delivered.
If you’ve never seen the movie, there’s one WTF twist in the last act that’s only effective if you don’t know about it beforehand. Yes, it’s super cool, and it’s the thing that people normally talk about with the film. But don’t forget that it wouldn’t be so bracing if we weren’t so in love with Singer’s bunch of crazy crooks in the first place.
10. Rear Window
(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)
Year:1954Director:Alfred Hitchcock
Hitchcock’s simmering thriller, Rear Window, will make you think twice about being a nosey neighbour. James Stewart plays wheelchair-bound photographer LB Jeffries, who passes the time armed with a pair of binoculars and a healthy disrespect for other people’s privacy (If this were made today, he’d be streaming live to TikTok). It’s not long before Jeffries takes an interest in his neighbour Lars Thorwalk, who he suspects has murdered his wife.
Much has been said about Hitchcock exposing how we view cinema and how we’re all voyeurs, and it’s absolutely true. The reason we’re sucked into Jeffries’ obsession with Thorwald is because, hell, we saw the same thing he did through that window. We want to know if he did kill his wife or if it’s all in Jeffries' mind. Stewart’s great as the lead, but hats off to Grace Kelly as his girlfriend. It’s she who’s tasked with breaking into Thorwald’s apartment and having a good old snoop around…right as he’s coming home. Nerve-shredding stuff.
For more juicy details, read ourRear Window review.
9. Fatal Attraction
(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)
Year:1987Director:Adrian Lyne
Fatal Attraction introduced the term ‘bunny boiler’ into the cultural conversation, acting as a shorthand for Glenn Close’s scorned lover turned vengeful stalker. Loads of subsequent movies latched onto that concept, but none made you feel sympathy for a womaniser quite like this late ’80s thriller. Seriously, Michael Douglas is a total sleaze, embarking on an extramarital affair with Glenn Close’s Alex Forrest. He soon learns he probably shouldn’t have done that when she threatens him and his family.
Director Adrien Lyne pulls a menacing performance from Close that makes an impact thanks to some truly great editing. The scene when his cute-as-a-button daughter Ellen runs toward her rabbit cage is cut together with a shot inside the house of his wife Beth approaching a boiling pot she never put on the stove. It’s superb. It’s heartbreaking, too, because his family is so lovely, and watching their terror is just plain awful.
8. Heat
(Image credit: Warner Bros)
Year:1995Director:Michael Mann
Michael Mann and Los Angeles were made for each other. In no other director’s films can you find such a harmonious confluence of setting and story, and his seminal masterpiece, Heat, remains the best example of this yet. The thrills of this crime thriller are just as palpable in the slow, brooding scenes as they are in the high-octane gunfights between the Pacino-led LAPD and Robert De Niro’s merry band of crooks.
Your heart will race during the film’s famous bank robbery shootout, but it’s the restaurant scene shared intimately between Pacino and De Niro that’ll really send jitters down your spine. It’s rare for a thriller to rely so heavily on its dialogue to elicit such electricity, but given the calibre of the talent behind and in front of the camera, Heat easily pulls it off. Oh, and Val Kilmer has never been better. The good news is thatHeat 2may also be on the way if you’re a fan of sequels.

7. Memento
(Image credit: Pathé Distribution)
Year:2000Director:Christopher Nolan
Storywise, that’s an interesting concept, and plot-wise, it’s flat-out mind-boggling because the entire film is told backwards. But Nolan’s not one for taking the easy route, and it’s a gamble here that pays off, making the final reveal land with a weightier punch than if he’d taken the traditional narrative path. Honestly, there is a reason why Memento is always at the top of every ranking of thebest Christopher Nolan movies.
6. Mulholland Dr.
(Image credit: Pathé Distribution)
Year:2001Director:David Lynch
Mulholland Dr. was originally a pilot for David Lynch’s return to TV. Funding fell out, and he opted to reshoot and resculpt that footage into a hallucinatory, fever dream feature. It’s a cautionary tale about the perils of stardom told through the eyes of Naomi Watts' ingénue, Betty Elms, who arrives in Hollywood and is immediately thrown into a bizarre amnesiac mystery.
Lynch is the master of disjointed narratives that don’t obey the rules of your conventional Hollywood thriller movie. Each time you watch, there’s another clue, a new piece to the puzzle, that then also changes with every subsequent viewing. Nothing stays fixed in Lynch’s City of Angels. That’s what makes Mulholland Dr. a stand-out in modern cinema; there’s no explaining why your heart is racing during a simple shot of a couple of guys chatting in a diner or when a cowboy passes through the back of a room, seemingly undetected. But you know it in your gut; something is wrong. Something bad is happening.

Year:1959Director:Alfred Hitchcock
4. Psycho
(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)
Year:1960Director:Alfred Hitchcock
While the thriller is often heralded as paving the way for some of thebest slasher movies, it’s far more than just that famous shower-stabbing scene. A slow-burner with great pacing, Psycho had the luck of hitting theatres at a time when audiences weren’t used to being scared silly. Hitchcock builds and maintains tension from start to finish, opening with Marion Crane on the run after stealing from her bosses before taking a total U-turn into a much more sinister set-up shortly afterwards. Red herrings have been done to death since, but this is the first time it was achieved without anyone having a clue before they took their seats.

3. The Silence of the Lambs
(Image credit: Rank Films Distributors)
Year:1991Director:Jonathan Demme
Director Jonathan Demme slices together a chilling and repulsive film, a perfectly honed thriller movie that preys on our biggest fears. The score from Howard Shore plays a large part in upping the suspense, and it’s the absolute top-notch editing job in that final showdown which really seals the deal. The thriller has a ton of jump-out moments. So many, in fact, we made a list of thecreepiest moments in The Silence of the Lambsfor you to read after watching the flick.

(Image credit: Entertainment Film Distributors)
Year:1995Director:David Fincher
And thank goodness that Fox caved to his demands because, without that final scene, everything that takes place beforehand loses its impact. Nothing readies you for the shocker, and that’s saying something after we follow two cops hunting down a serial killer who probably worships Travis Bickle. The cleansing of the streets is this murderer’s favourite pastime, but this isn’t a horror; this is pure thrills.

1. Vertigo
(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)
Year:1958Director:Alfred Hitchcock
Time is vital for the true appreciation of artisanal cheeses and vintage wines, and the same applies to Hitchcock’s masterpiece Vertigo. It did okay at the time of release, recouping its budget and all, but it failed to make a real impression with critics. Steadily, that consensus was duly re-evaluated, as most cinephiles now agree that this is Hitchcock’s finest work.
