Sumantra Roy's Favorite 75 Thrillers of All Time

Love The Departed and like Spoorloos, Le Samourai, and Wages of Fear. I prefer Sorcerer to the latter.

I know nothing about Borgman. It would be nice if you added a few personal thoughts to each film.

Of the rest I would say The Vanishing is the best qualified as a Thriller, and I'm glad to see it on the list because it's an incredible film.

I didn't much get Borgman, quite a weird thriller but a big fan of Mother, Vanishing & Headhunters. Others are great too, still haven't seen Wages of Fear and Le Samourai though
Looking forward to see the rest of it.

I've only seen A Simple Plan from that set, which is great, and I've had The Lives of Others on my watchlist for a while. I was going to watch Nightwatch for a Hall of Fame, but whoever nominated it dropped out.

The Lives Of Others is fantastic. I'd rep you for that alone.

I really need to see Lives Of Others. Only made it about thirty minutes into The Following. I liked Simple Plan at the time but everything about it has left my mind except for the money and the snow. I will get back to it one day.

Le Samourai is amazing, either that Army of Shadows or Naked is my favourite first time watch this year. Spoorloos, Wages of Fear and The Departed are all pretty good.

60. Celda 211/ Cell 211 (2009) - Daniel Monzon





59. Myrin/ Jar City (2006) - Baltasar Kormakur





58. Dlug/ The Debt (1999) - Krzysztof Krauze





57. The Others (2001) - Alejandro Amenabar





56. Mississippi Burning (1988) - Alan Parker

The last two are fantastic films. I have Jar City but, again, I've not seen it yet. I don't know the other two.

Same as HK_ The last two are great, haven't heard of the other three but will look out for them.

55. Das LetzteSchweigen/ The Silence (2010) - Baran Odar





54. The Machinist (2004) - Brad Anderson





53. Run Lola Run (1998) - Tom Tykwer





52. L. A. Confidential (1997) - Curtis Hanson





51. Old Boy (2003) - Park Chan-wook

LA Confidential, Run Lola Run, Mississippi Burning, and The Others are all fantastic.

The Machinist and Oldboy were just ok for me, but I want to watch the latter again.

Cell 211 is on my watchlist.

So far this is a brilliant list, roy!

Lots of great movies and small hidden gems. Those I have not seen has either been on my watchlist for ages or have been a recent movie I fell upon and which started to peak my interest. Keep it up!

From the last set I have seen three. LA Confidential and Oldboy are brilliant and in my 100. Mississippi Burning I haven't seen in many years, but I remember liking it.

LA Confidential and Oldboy are both excellent. The latter would probably be higher if i was to do my own Thriller list.

50. L'Inconnu du lac/ Stranger by the Lake (2014) - Alain Guireudie





49. El Aura/ The Aura (2005) - Fabian Bielinsky





48. Otoshiana/ Pitfall (1962) - Hiroshi Teshigahara





47. The 6th Sense (1999) - M. Night Shyamalan





46. No Country For Old Men (2007) - Joel Coen Ethan Coen

Great going, Mr. Roy! Haven't seen a good number of movies you listed so far...(i.e. Lives of Others, Jar City, Debt, Silence, Pitfall, Stranger by the Lake & Aura). Adding them to my wish list.

Glad you added CELL 211, a great movie indeed.

Rep for Stranger by the Lake, surprising but good choice.

And, well, do I have to name the other movie I give you major props for? I doubt it.

Oh man, I've been confusing A Simple Plan for Fargo. So weird... Well, time to go watch Fargo.
