"Thriller isn't just a word used as the title for one of pop music's biggest albums of all time. It's also a word used to describe an incredibly popular and long-lasting genre of movies: something that lies somewhere between horror, drama, and action, with a story that aims to excite, unnerve, or thrill its audience. The thriller genre has been popular ever since the silent era, and has continued to thrive as a reliable type of movie well into the 21st century. It's also a fairly broad genre, with countless movies that can be described as thrillers, or perhaps have elements of a thriller combined with other genres. The following selection of movies aims to look at the greatest thriller films of all time, predominantly focusing on movies where "thriller" is the primary genre. Above all, they're very likely to get one's heart racing, and are all easy to recommend to viewers who crave more adrenaline rushes in their movie diet." - collider.com
