According to my research IMDB is the most accurate and useful website to gather any information about films. I found this site particularly helpful when I was researching individual thrillers and it pointed out that numerous thrillers can be categorised into different sections such as 'Most Popular Thriller Feature Film'. Films such as The Hurt Locker, Edge Of Darkness, and Mulholland Drive.
The Hurt Locker - Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
'This is pure quality, cinematic storytelling at its best, a thinking man's actioner.' The plot is along the lines of Iraq being forced to play a dangerous game and an elite Army bomb squad unit come together in a city where everyone is a potential enemy. The Hurt Locker has been nominated for 9 Oscars, another 53 wins and another 50 nominations, this film is 'a near masterpiece of suspense and unrelenting intensity'.
Reviewers Comments:
* 'The Brilliant Explosion Of Kathryn Bigelow'
* 'The work of a master filmmaker,'
The Edge of Darkness - Directed by Martin Campbell
The Edge of Darkness is 'A true, intelligent thriller, for intelligent people'. The plot is roughly about a 'homicide detective who investigates the death of his activist daughter, he uncovers not only her secret life, but a corporate cover-up and government collusion that attracts an agent tasked with cleaning up the evidence'.
Reviewers Comments:
* 'Edge of Darkness sheds light on humanity'
* 'Old-fashioned crime/thriller in modern setting'
* 'The Best Movie I've seen in years'
Mulholland Drive - Directed by David Lynch
'Possibly Lynch's best; brilliant, enigmatic, and masterfully filmed' Mulholland Drive first hit the cinema in 2001 and has done successfully well within the film industry. Nominated for an Oscar, another 33 winds and 30 nominations, this is a must see film. 'After a car wreck on the winding Mulholland Drive renders a woman amnesic, she and a perky Hollywood-hopeful search for clues and answers across Los Angeles in a twisting venture beyond dreams and reality'.
Reviewers Comments:
* 'My views on why Mulholland Drive is a hair-raisingly good movie'.
* 'A mesmerising force. Nothing short of spectacular'
