    List of thrillers.

    List of must-watch thrillers from my DVD collections.

    TM

    The eas­i­est cat­e­gory of movies to watch is Action/Thriller. I started col­lect­ing DVDs when STAR MOVIES aired the entire series of Bond movies [ it was pro­mot­ing Casino Royale then]. That’s where I started my DVD list. Then the Hitch­cock movies fas­ci­nated me, which I was under a wrong impres­sion that old movies weren’t so inter­est­ing. I am delighted to watch fast paced movies based on rob­bery, secret agent, mur­der mys­tery, ser­ial killing, nerve-racking chases, prison escapes etc.,

    Con­sciously, I have avoided the too famous films like Ter­mintor, Mis­sion Impos­si­ble, Speed etc., This list is to enable our friends to have the list of actoin movies to be watched.

    This time, I would like to list out the best thrillers, which I came acoss. I am damn sure that this is not the com­pre­hen­sive list of thrillers to be watched. How­ever, it’ll be a good start here to move on for movie col­lec­tions. Don’t worry if you have cov­ered only a part of this list. I still have the unfin­ished movies list. After all, we need some pend­ing things in life to keep it ticking :)

    5. Thanks for the com­ments, Anand. Here, I listed thrillers exclu­sively and update the movie I have seen in ‘recently watched’ sec­tion. In your list, I have already seen Lawrence of Ara­bia, Chil­dren of heaven and the mir­ror. Sure — I’ll watch the rest of the movies and write about them. Thanks for your sup­port, Anand.
