J.T. Walsh, in his last role.

I may have to pick up that DVD...It really is a great film.

i liked the Hitcher better. *shrug* i thought Breakdown was predictable.

Two different movies. The Hitcher was more of a slasher movie (in fact, it's a grindhouse film). Breakdown was a great psychological thriller.

Luci, if you're a big Hitcher fan, you'll love Death Proof.

Rutger Hauer was the sh*t for a long while, but man was he in some bad movies.

what about "Blood of Heroes"?

and, to make this post relevant to the thread title, i think "Body Double" is a great thriller that doesn't get any play these days.

I have no problem wiht the list on the whole. Not bad actually. I might add to it, but the only one I would take away is Fargo... not a "thriller" in any definition of mine.
And I might replace it with "Enemy of the State"... smartly made 'pop' film about that particular topic.
Gene Hackman is an acting god!

Posted: **Wed Apr 11, 2007 12:37 pm**

yeah. like Omega Doom!!!

Posted: **Wed Apr 11, 2007 2:28 pm**

I think Fatal Attraction should've been on the list. That was a true thriller. Maybe Jagged Edge, too.
