Bucketheadsdad Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 What a great decade for Thrillers! The Conversation The French Connection Jaws Deliverance All the President's Men I could name a dozen more. Dirty Harry, Duel, Chinatown, Marathon Man, Boys From Brazil, Serpico, Three Days of the Condor, The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, French Connection II, Coma, Soylent Green, Westworld. OK, I named 13 more. I like going to the bakery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Jaws Halloween Alien Deliverance Marathon Man Must say though Marathon Man is kind of overrated outside of a few scenes. Included Halloween because it is a thriller, did not get into Horror bracket so maybe this. And the one and only Alien because it go screwed in Sci Fi and Horror for that matter. The French Connection and The Conversation I thought were both very overrated, Gene Hackman is way better in Mississippi Burning and that movie is far superior to either of those. Was tempted to include The Stepford Wives but really I guess that is not a thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The Godfather. I wouldn't bother nominating others, since Godfather is the clear winner here, but because they're great films: Taxi Driver, Deliverance. Jaws is good, but it had its chance in horror, and The French Connection is a good movie, not great. Haven't seen Serpico, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make take some ISH for this, but out of all the movies nominated for this decade, Taxi Driver is by and far my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I included it because I saw it nominated already, and it was included in the google list of thrillers when I was checking. Same with Taxi Driver, although I think that one can lean a little more heavy into suspense, which I tend to include along with thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
