75 Soveriegn Shockers (CQ's Top 100 Thrills)
I, hereby, eh-hem, proclaim this list to be the seventy five best thrillers and mysteries I have watched thus far!
*** Like my Top 100 list, this one is my personal favorites and it's not neccessarily so much about quality as to how much I enjoyed them. Instead of a quickie-review, I'm going to popcorn rate them on: ~Dialouge (mostly comedy, laughs, and just generally good script.) ~Suspense (plot, storyline, and thrill. Movies with a shocking twist at the end get bonus points) ~Quality (cast, direction, style) ~How much I enjoyed the film Overall (I will say that I am biased--I.E. I will never put a Nic Cage movie in front of Bruce Willis. Just will not happen) For example, Eye of the Killer's mystery is very predictable but I enjoyed the characters and the dialouge-hence the higher rating then The Hunt for Red October. |

Could a mod please correct two 2 typos in the title, please? Much appreciated! :) I shouldn't be allowed to type when I'm sleepy.
Should read: 75 Sovereign Shockers (CQ's Top Thrills). |

^ True, Gunny. However, I detest having to look at/hear the voice of (etc) Nicolas Cage.

The Negotiator and Hunt For Red October are excellent movies.
The Negotiator is a very underrated movie. Jackson and Spacey were phenominal in it. And the Hunt For Red October is just classic suspense and one of the best thrillers. |

I fell asleep to the postman twice, but Shooter is a fun flick. like a glossy 70's thriller.
