Christopher Nolan -

1. Dark Knight, The (2008)
2. Memento (2000)
3. Insomnia (2002)
4. Prestige, The (2006)
1. Dark Knight, The (2008)
2. Memento (2000)
3. Insomnia (2002)
4. Prestige, The (2006)
Chris has directed some of the best thriller films in this decade. Starting with Memento in 2000, this Blockbuster blew me away the first time I watched it. I thought it was really clever how the movie is filmed in pieces and is put together when Guy Pearce starts to remember his memory. The second Insomnia made in 2002 about Two Los Angeles homicide detectives are dispatched to a northern town where the sun doesn't set to investigate the methodical murder of a local teen. The third, The prestige made in 2006. The prestige is about Two rival magicians up against each other to make the perform the better tricks, but the main trick on their mind is the transporting man which draws in the crowds. This Movie is high in drama and is a different kind of thriller, by watching the tricks on screen we are literally hanging on to see what will happen. And the last in 2008 with The Dark Knight. This movie is truly inspiring to all comic book movies is sets the bar for me and Chris developed the concept of Batman in a realistic mature thriller movie.
Quentin Tarantino-
Top Four Thriller Movies
1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
2. Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
3. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
4. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2002)
2. Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
3. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
4. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2002)
Quentin Tarantino has always been a controversial director with the critics and his viewers, however for me he has made one of the best sub-genre thrillers in Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction shows a great story of mob gangsters and the people surrounding them. With great performances from Samuel Jackson and John Travolta.
Not forgetting the Kill Bill volumes one and two which exploded on to the movie screen in 2002 and 2004. Both these movies are jam packed with action and gory fight scenes, with tight thriller suspension and our leading lady Uma Thurman tries to track down Bill.
Steaphen Speilberg -
Top Four Thriller Movies
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
2. Jaws (1975)
3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
4. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
2. Jaws (1975)
3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
4. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
Steaphen Speilberg is a world wide known name for his fantastic directing. For me these are his top Thriller movies, with Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark being my favourite of the Indianan Jones movies. With Thrilling action.
Jaws also is one of my favourite movies of all time, it has such suspence and thrilling to watch. For me it does not matter that the macanical shark lacks authentisity, especially as Speilberg chooses not to show the actual shark til the very end oof the movie! My favourite thrilling scene in jaws is the scene where Brody (Roy Schneider) looks through the book of shark attacks and we here the music kick in every time he turns the page.
