thank you
Thanks, would be cool to have these on all videos
AMAZING LIST THANKS SOO MUCH
Thank you. You fucking genius. I was looking for one of the films in the erotica thriller clip for several years. It was driving me nuts. Thank you very much for this list... Now I can go find the film and jerk off to the female character 😳😍😍😍👍
Tnqu..😙😗😘
That thumbnail looks like a nice potential for a meme
I'm glad Perfect Blue at least got a reference in the psychological thriller. That film, and Satoshi Kon in general, is criminally underrated by western critics.
Vertigo still deserves the top spot, of course.
I am so happy you guys have “in Bruges “ on the list . One of the most underrated movies in my book
In Bruges is just so perfect I can't explain my love for that film enough
James A. Baldwin I just love the dig at Tottenham, adds a star to the film itself
Beyond perfect. Every time I hear that name, my heart pounds harder
YOU DONT HAVV TAA!
The acting of Colin Farrell is stellar!
You're an inanimate fucking object!!
Cinefix picking "The Third Man" quel surprise....Just as an exercise, you should the top 10 worst movies of all time. with categories like guilty pleasure, and fun to make fun of and even influential bad movies that have great movies made as a response.
what a great idea! yeah do that
The thing about 'influential bad movies' is just you wanting to see Cinefix talk about The Room and Disaster Artist.
Luke S. Although accurate that is not entirely true. Cheesy movies and guilty pleasures and even cult classics are often bad movies objectively. I'll watch high school musical unashamedly but that doesn't make it good. I guess what I'm looking for is a best worst movies with some thought provoking reasons why as I have come to expect from cinefix
Oh god yes, just to see what surprises they come up with :D
In Bruges has always been criminally underrated. One of my all-time favourites!
"Le salaire de la peur" - one of the most... thrilling films ever made. Loved it!
I always love the diversity of your choices -- this time, you've got several I haven't seen, but the ones I have seen are perfect selections for exactly the reasons you point out.
My favourite is gonna be The Wailing by Na Hong-jin. Okay it's more like a horror film but the thriller elements are so good. The horror, suspense, deception, survival, everything are extremely pushed to the level that you can't even imagine. It's for me one of the best Korean film I have ever watch.
I really appreciate the brief mention of 2010's Buried in the contained thriller section. It's so deeply underrated and underviewed that even a flash mention in the same breath as so many other greats makes me supremely happy.
I prefer Sluizer's 1988 French-Dutch film The Vanishing
In Bruges is my favorite movie. Just everything I liked: actors, theme, setting, music, humor, and relatable in ways.
Easily in my top 10. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.
i wanna see it today using my boxxy software! hope this movie deserve my attention
"You look like a fucking elephant!"
Tell me. What did I miss? And this from a guy who loves "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."
It's more like drama than thriller thugh. This list sucks.
Is it possible to do TV shows in this format too? Have you another channel for that? Would love your in depth opinions of some great TV shows
TVfix... That sound really catchy
Or Telefix...
Or Idiot Bix.
or Get your kicks on Route 66
It probably is, it would just be much more demanding since the CineFix crew would have to watch dozens of hours of footage to find the examples they need and then edit that footage together. Also barring the last ten years, TV shows really did not have the resources, time, and technical prowess to match the cinematic language of Film. TV Episodes were meant to be film and shot within a week at most, that just doesn't leave much room for experimentation or error.
"in bruges" is a must see
The actual title is "In fookin' Bruges".
Hasan Ali as is Calvary. Which I am surprised wasnt on here
Unlike Three Billboards.
Jack Healy it is as much as In Bruges is. Priest gets told he is going to be killed on sunday, like thats going to end well, and you spend the entire film trying to work out who it is.
Jack Healy how is it that not psychological thiller?
i came here to simply find a movie to watch and then you take me on a ride for a film class lol f
"Anton Chigurh" is one the most terrifying villains ever walked the planet Earth.
I did not know this name, but i googled it and i expected a certain guy. And YES, i was the expected. 👀
The contained control I think is what is scariest. Like Hannibal Lector.
I love how you guys don`t always pick the incredibly obvious choice. On other lists, I usually have already seen most if not all of the films. With you guys, I get some great recommendations for movies i`ve often never heard of and I love it! Keep up the amazing work!
Claire Hess 👍👍👍👍👍
that's a good point of view !
They pick movie that are over 60 years old cus theyre hipster douchebags.
@@Scorch428 typical of someone who doesn’t understand cinema to think liking old or art house films is “pretentious” go back to your super hero movies douche bag
plus, they're usually all films from the last three or four years.
In Bruges! Awesome.
bruges is a shithole
I haven't seen it but it sounds a lot like snatch.
A bit, yeah, same type of movie in general, specially with the humor, but still, a great film, go watch In Bruges
TheLastArkham lol no its not, you are
Its one of the first lines of the movie.
Vertigo is my all-time favourite movie. What can someone say? It's pure art. Excellent photography, flawless acting and a well-constructed script transform this film into a suspense classic!
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) is sadly missing from this list. It alone fits several categories including the romantic thriller and the crime thriller.
Someone forgot to press shift at 3:15
J. Diamond Obviously the movie is from the year 92005.
....making it a far far future classic and waaaay ahead of it's time, no?
A keen I eye see
It's not a CineFix list if The Third Man isn't on it.
and no country, bonus points if they mention the coin scene
Or the Mirror
To be fair... The Third Man is pretty damn great and so is No Country
Citizen Kane, No Country for Old Men, The Third Man, and the Mirror.
Austin Wilde To be fair, all three are fantastic films
Longtime subscriber. Your lists are amazing, keep up the great work!
Thanks for recommending The Day of the Jackal! I had never heard of it and it was a really good watch. I need to work on watching more of the films you guys recommend.
3:13 "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 92005)"
Someone forgot to *S H I F T*
In Bruges is perfection. Mix genres with extreme efficience.
honestly such an underrated film
Such an unexpected surprise that the main antagonist actually sticks to his principles.
Madlad Junoir i don't know any dark comedy with the dramatic strenght present in this movie.
All it takes is just to heat the Canadian...
the ending was just hilarously ironic
Such a great way to list out the films into 10 different sub genres. Well done
Thanks for Top 100 (hundred) list ;). You named so many movies. Loved it. Love the voice and the way it is described seems a nice journey into getting to know these movies. Most I have not seen and great to have your videos to add more movies in my watch list. :)
How about thrillers based on actual events? 'Zodiac'... 'Apollo 13', etc..
He mentioned Zodiac.
caffeineadvocate good subject but I think other 10 subjects have more films than this ...
The Insider was one
Those would straddle existing subgenres: Zodiac is a crime thriller; Apollo 13 and 127 Hours are contained thrillers (a surprisingly big subgenre); Munich is a spy thriller.
I can see categorizing them separately, as movies like Munich or 127 Hours seem to have a special weight to them because you know they are based on real events. At the same time, however, those two don't really go together - it's more a characteristic than a genre. At the same time, Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy and Bridge of Spies should definitely be in the same subgenre, even though one is fiction and the other based on real events. I'd say stick with defining the subgenres by tones and themes and other aspects essential to the film, as opposed to the relationship between the film and the real world.
Nick Kordich - Just spitballing an idea for a list-- doesn't have to fit into this one.
I vividly remember as I first watched "The Wages of Fear" on Hungarian state TV some 35 years ago, my knuckles white. Great film.
Its American version, "Sorcerer" was also great.
Wow.. that was an awesome review, not only inclding the best 10, but adding similar good movies within each genre.. awesome work bud.
Love your choices ...... not just in the last 10 years of cinema YT film reviewers tend to talk about.
Nightcrawler and The Departed as well! The Departed is - in my opinion - the perfect example. Nicholson's insanity mounting with Leonardo's visible discomfort and anxiety, as well as Matt Damon struggling to conceal the truth... Ugh! So tense through and through
if you like the departed, you need to see the original "Infernal Affairs" it's very good. +2sequels, i think...
Will do, thank you for the recommendation!
@@mirakalus I think you are referring to the Korean Film- "INternal Affairs' Not the "INternal Affairs" starring Richard Gere and Andy Garcia. Is that Correct?
@@HoldenNY22 Correct!
In my view Alec Baldwin and Mark Wahlberg did their career best in the Departed!
One film that I think should have at least gotten honorable mention is Spielberg's "Duel". It builds suspense in such a unique way and it's one of those "it could happen to anyone" type of stories. Thanks to that movie, I freak out a little bit every time I see a big truck in my rear view mirror.
This is my favorite channel on CZcams. I'm finally going to watch The Third Man after your constant recommendations.
I love your lists! You include movies that are not part of today and are opening minds!! Thank you, keep them coming
I am a simple man.
I see a movie list with In Bruges in it.
I press like.
kthnkbye.
did u watch 24 movie of surya 🤣🤣
Anyone else rate Captain Phillips as highly as me?
Relentless tension. I remember coming out of the pictures feeling exhausted, and I knew the ending before I went in. I'd say that's a sign of a good thriller.
I saw that movie as a replacement for a movie we couldn't catch anymore at the cinema and being already there, decided to give Captain Philips a go. It was a good decision. I agree with you the tension in the movie was exhausting, a brilliant game of psychological and fysical warfare between Philips and the pirate captain. That movie was awesome.
Great movie, the acting in that last scene was mindblowingly magnificent
I must say that the scene where Hanks has just been ....spoilers....rescued, where he begins to weep is superbly acted, in case anyone should doubt Hanks acting chops.
vampierusboy that's not how you spell physical.
I second this too
My favorite list so far. Great job!
10- no country for old men
9- the wages of fear
8- in bruges
7- double indemnity
6- the third man
5- High and low
4- Blow out
3- Day of the jackal
2- A man escaped
1- Vertigo
I’d say the best thrillers are the ones that build up to something only to pull of a brilliant plot twist and completely catch you off guard. Films like The usual suspects, the prestige, Moon
Brilliant if it's masterfully executed than yes, otherwise it easily becomes nothing more than cheap showmanship.
AliaslsailA yes there is nothing worse than a poorly executed plot twist that leaves you confused and disappointed. When talking about films with my friends they often argue that films such as moon or the prestige rely too much on the shock factor of the twist however personally I find the twists in both those films give me even more of a reason to want to watch them again
A brilliant plot twist is one you don't see coming and to also require build up to that brilliant plot twist takes The Prestige (saw the twin coming I think, I've watched it so many times I don't remember anymore [EDIT just remembered they incorporate the idea of the twin into, and discount it in the script; planting the seed that it is in fact a twin]) and the twist in Moon is too early. Don't get me wrong, they're both still fantastic films, but if you compare them to the twist in The Usual Suspects they land in separately great categories.
Moon is brilliant!
The Conversation was sort of like that
Love that you chose High and Low. One of my favorite Kurosawa movies.
Lorin Adam, same, I even forgive them for merely mentioning _The Silence of the Lambs_ (they were in the same category). Incredible film :D
There're so many different kinds of thrillers, you guys did a great job breaking it down
Hi Cinefix, I love your channel. Will you please do a What's the Difference video about the new Sherlock series and the books? Thanks.
Sincerely,
Some Old Fanboy Dude on the Internet
You guys are the amazing!!!!!!!!!! Keep the amazing work up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please some do some top ten videos for:
1) Musicals
2) Comic Relief Characters
3) Fourth Wall Breaks
4) Franchises
5) Cameos
I love everything you guys do.
$20 says you could find a way to put Third Man on the list of Best 90s Romantic Comedies.
If this had been made two years later they would have definitely chosen Parasite. It was partly inspired by one of their picks: High and Low, and is just straight up perfection
Best thriller : The year 2020
No one can argue.
10 Cloverfield Lane is so underrated as a thriller.
brilliant film right up until the end
^Was just gonna say the ending ruined it for me.
The ending that you should have seen coming if you have seen Cloverfield? I hear people say they dislike the ending like they didn't know it was going to be about aliens. Watch movies much?
It could've been about anything.. but the way it happened did not match the rest of the movie at all. An alien that can lift a car is following her around - she distracts it with a few beeps, makes a run for the truck, manages to get it closed. She happens to find a cloth, lighter and a bottle of booze in the truck and throws a molotov directly into the big aliens mouth. Blows it to smithereens. Falls quite the distance and manages to drive away safe only to become the strong woman that doesn't run away from her fears.
The movie was written by decent writers but they couldn't come up with an ending so they gave the reins to a toddler with a crayon.
Awesome film
The Handmaiden and Memories of Murder were at least mentioned. Nice!
live for that dope ass Korean cinema.
Oldboy too
So happy both were mentioned along with Oldboy. Korean cinema is fucking amazing.
Watched Age Of Shadows of late, great film
Handmaiden is awesome to see and has such an incredible cinematography. I deeply love CWP work. And I really thought Stoker was going to be at least as a mention on this list.
I must say I find in your videos types of movies that I've looking for. In addition to the movies in the list you include many others that are just as good and I love that.
When I was in Wien/Vienna, I just had to go see the ferris wheel from "The Third Man".
For me, it and the sewer system were the most interesting parts. Wouldn't be on my list.
Blow Out has become one of my favorite films of all time. Cinematography is absolutely amazing.
Suggestion: Top 10 Films involving Physical Transformation. You can explore categories like man becoming animal, animal becoming man, shrinking, enlarging, becoming a zombie, turning into a monster, switching bodies, and turning from adult to child or child to adult.
Glad to see 'M' mentioned. Don't discount old films... it's just as good as anything today
Old filma are waay B E T T ER ! Original film noir is the thing and nothing cant beat that ;) sure its an opinion for everyone to make
one of the best
Fritz Lang's 1931 "M" is one of the best films ever made. Easily on the same level as Hitchcock's Vertigo. Both are master pieces that had tremendous impact on movie industry.
If anything, they are discounting modern films. Here's how it goes, I see one or two of their videos and see old films being given shouts and I appreciate it. I'm on their 15th video and the number of old films still outweigh modern films (ones after the 80s) by such a margin that one starts to wonder if they truly examine newer movies in the same lens at all.
Rushav Kumar Panda considering that most movie channels do the exact opposite and ignore films made before 1980, I’d say this is a good thing. You wouldn’t ask them to talk about old films if they were more into modern films. That might be the reason they do that in the first place. After all, who cares? Movies are movies.
So glad you got In Bruges, Double Indemnity and The Third Man and made note of Phone Booth. My only quibbles not having Oldboy and Blow Up topping their category but still this is a fantastic list
By far the most thrilling film I've ever seen in the genera is Prisoners with Hugh Jackman. I actually had to take several breaks to calm down while watching it. It's incredible with a large dose of mystery as well.
that's what she said..!
So true
I watched Vertigo in my Theater Class and then had to watch it multiple more times because it was so good. This video was like a thriller for me because I was wondering when Vertigo was gonna be mentioned.
Im a fan of thriller movies. When I seriously started watching Hollywood movies three years ago, i watched this video and marked many of the movies mentioned here and tried and was able to watch at least some of the videos from the list. Then I kept going by and surprisingly today I came across this video again. Im surprised to see i have unknowingly covered most of the movies mentioned here. Thank you!
I love that each movie scene is labelled.
Nice to see "Knife in the Water" being mentioned
I freaking love In Brugges. The movie is madly funny, madly messed up and in short amazing.
I am so glad to see The Parallax View included in this video, even if it isn't one of the top 10. You don't see enough written or hear enough said about that movie.
Cool list! Some movies I wish they had included: The Tamarind Seed, Brick, The Eagle Has Landed, Mullholland Falls, Mystic River, Gone Girl, Road to Perdition....and I honestly think not giving John le Carrè's movies based on his books it's own slot might be criminal! The Constant Gardener, A Most Wanted Man, and so many more.
Recently watched The Third Man in my Film & Media course; class film, loved it
"someone DED"
cant unhear
Thank you CineFix. I watched In Bruges and it's one of my favorite movies of all time
I saw Vertigo in the cinema a couple of years ago - superb experience compared with watching on the small screen. I would add El Secreto de Sus Ojos (The Secret in Their Eyes) - which I think is quite possibly the best film I have ever seen. I'd also consider Alien in the category of 'claustrophobic' thrillers...
Great list - you have a new subscriber as of today...👍
i watches in bruges about 400 times. i love the mood of the movie so much and it has so brilliant humor! perfect role for colin ferrell
Left out one of my favorite thrillers: The Taking of Pelham, One-Two-Three (1974)
You are soooooooooooo right. This is a great film. I love the final shot when Matthau opens the door and looks back in. Fade to black. Cue the music. In fact, I am going to rewatch right now.
The remake was a soulless zombie clone of the original. And no, I actually saw the remake first, was unimpressed in many ways, then went back and watched the original.
@@fredloeper8579
Before going back in...
"Gesundheit."
One of the best closing lines ever!
Perfect list...good job.
This channel gives me some great movie suggestions.
In Bruges is a phenomenal film
What about courtroom thrillers? Rainmaker, A Few Good Men, 12 Angry Men (kind of).
Get 2 the Movies those r all more courtroom dramas. But when going by ur logic u should add INHERIT THE WIND.
Leo Milmet haha I see what you mean. But I just figured as long as we were breaking down thrillers into sub-categories, courtroom dramas, when done right, are full of suspense - the main element that makes a thriller.
A Time to Kill.
Runaway Jury
Get 2 the Movies you mean the episode of charmed that is titled 12 angry zen....? Just kidding it titled after that movie I guess
Amazing channel and amazing video!
Wages of fear is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for not forgetting about it :)
3:17 TYPO!!! KISS KISS BANG BANG 92005) instead of (2005).
Video ruined 1/10! Unsubscribe
Lol just joshing, good video!
My20GUNS you're a PE teacher in 2003.
Luke S Iwish I had that kind of stable career....

*In thick Irish accent* "DON'T SHOOT YOURSELF MATT!!! OR I'LL SHOOT YA!!!"
LOVED seeing waves of fear. Criminally underrated. So frickin suspenseful
Stellar list! You know your movie history.
But we think the best is the one you never heard of from 80 years ago, every time.
just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean no one has.
Thomas Hall didn't say that.
"one you never heard of"
Thomas Hall the phrase "you" was pertaining personally to me , not everyone. It was a joke.
Feral Pigeon, Considering you wrote that as if it were from the perspective of Cinefix, "you" would most likely mean all the viewers in this situation. Which is yet another reason why English sucks, but that's besides the point.
Jacob's Ladder is a superb pyscho-thriller and a great crime thriller is Boondock Saints. The first being a great showcase for Tim Robbins acting and the movies influence on the Silent Hill series, and the latter being a wonderfully funny and interesting way of story telling.
Wow i loved this video, thank you! Got some new films to see
Blow out is such a brilliant but overlooked film. Glad you guys showed it some love.
You proved your brilliant cinematic taste by choosing NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. It is the best movie among in the list
Vertigo and The Third Man are the best on the list
14:23 Showing Perfect Blue then Black Swan? Is that a jab?
"Sorcerer" was an unsung masterpiece... I found it completely riveting
Props for the effort put into this video
Apparently Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was made in the year 92005.
One of the best thrillers I’ve ever seen was a 10 minute short in Tropfest several years ago. It’s about a young boy who finds a rock that he believes was left to him by his future self. I wish I could remember the name, because it is genuinely one of the best short films I’ve ever seen
"Time"
Finalist of Tropfest Australia 2013
A very well thought out list. Makes me want to watch the ones I haven't seen.
Just for putting "Wages of Fear" on this list I applaud you!
Love the mention of high and low..one of my all time favorites. It’s nearly perfectly done. Kurosawa never lets me down.
I agree completely! Everything he did was brilliant in every facet because he was so meticulous a director. Ran will forever be my favorite performance of shakespeare.
Dear Cinefix,
What if you were able to secure with Netflix or Amazon or some streaming service a collection of films specifically organized and based on your top ten lists?! I believe it would be epic and save me so much time from having to chase down your picks and also give me a legit way of answering your pervading, end of video question, "So what do you think?"
If you not only gave us the list but a way to watch all your picks so we could decide if we agree with you that would be incredible!
So what do you think?
(Thanks for reading this far...)
this edit is awesome!
In Bruges is criminally underrated I’m very happy to see it get some recognition.:)
I think this is my favorite genre.... Thrillers, murder mysteries, and such
"Lucky number Slevin" is cool! I adore it!
Ivy is Dead super underrated movie
Definitely "Seven" belongs here.
Wages of Fear made your list! Awesome.
