44. Kvinden i buret/ The Keeper of Lost Causes (2013) - Mikkel Norgaard

42. Nightcrawler (2014) - Dan Gilroy





41. El Secreto de Sus Ojos/ The Secret In Their Eyes (2009) - Juan J. Campanella

Props for Nightcrawler, and those other ones look interesting too. But The Orphanage... Eh, I think that one is a bit cliche.

Damn, that's a great set right there. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the Department Q films, but still awesome to see a Danish film on here and also being this high.

Several great ones in the last 3 sets, and I already have The Secret in Their Eyes on my watchlist-maybe from you?

Love The Departed as well...never even heard of the other two films, though as I scroll through this thread, I'm questioning the definition of "thriller" as a movie genre.

I fixed it, although really it should be much higher.

If that version is better than the remake (which is usually the case) then there's no hope for it. with me. I felt the original was a real let down.

Totally agree. Ive had the remake ready to watch for ages but after seeing the original its really put me off.

rep for The Usual Suspects and Sleep Tight.

The plot for both movies of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is almost identical with only minor changes. The main difference is that the acting in the Swedish version is much better. If you didn't like the original then don't bother with the remake.

As is usually the case with me now, tv is just so much better. GwtDT is like an ok episode of a Nordic crime drama.

Well, I saw both and I felt here the remake was actually better than the original. I feel the same about The Talented Mr. Ripley as well, where the remake was better than the original (Purple Noon). In case of Insomnia, though the original was better than the Hollywood remake...

I do know some people who think the same about GwtDT and The Talented Mr. Ripley, SR.

I completely agree that the original Insomnia is better than the remake. Much better, IMO.

35. Zodiac (2007) - David Fincher





34. Repulsion (1965) - Roman Polanski





33. Jagten/ The Hunt (2012) - Thomas Vinterberg
