'Cuz This Is Thriller

Thrillers

It&#39;s time to vote on the best new thriller films. Audiences have long enjoyed the pleasure of going to a movie for suspense and excitement. Modern thriller movies have raised the bar on doing just that. The past few years have delivered some of the most original, groundbreaking entries the genre has ever known. Thrillers work for a very primal reason. They put us into a state of tension for two hours. We tense up. We hold our breath. We grip the armrests. Then, in&nbsp;the end, there&#39;s typically some kind of big catharsis that allows us to relax. You get a bit of a rush from that, and modern thriller movies know how to play the audience like a violin.

Current thrillers come in many forms. Some are entirely plausible. Some make use of historical events. Others mesh the entire thriller concept with another genre. Some are&nbsp;part top thriller and&nbsp;part horror movie. That kind of flexibility has allowed the genre to grow in compelling, heart-pounding ways. It&#39;s no wonder these movies are more popular than ever.

Vote up&nbsp;your favorites from this list of recent&nbsp;thriller movies. If there&#39;s one particularly pulse-pounding film you don&#39;t see here, feel free to rerank the list to adjust the ranking. Don&#39;t forget to check back to see how other users rank your picks.

Lists of great movies and TV programs about teens, enjoyed by people of all ages.

Rated T for Teen

Teen movies are a longtime staple of many viewers&#39; cinematic diet, but the best new <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-teen-movies-of-all-time/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">teen films</a> really raise the bar. The genre first gained a measure of&nbsp;popularity in the early 1980s, with a string of raunchy <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-teen-comedy-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">teen comedies</a>, many of which centered around teenagers going on spring break or having some other kind of escapade. Hardbodies and Porky&#39;s&nbsp;are just two examples from that era.&nbsp;These&nbsp;were&nbsp;exploitation flicks, usually telling stories about young men looking to &quot;get lucky&quot; with their beautiful classmates. John Hughes turned the tide with a string of smart, sensitive teen stories that began with 1984&#39;s Sixteen Candles and also included The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller&#39;s Day Off, Pretty in Pink, and Some Kind of Wonderful. Suddenly, it was proven that real teenagers didn&#39;t want to see an exaggerated version of themselves; they wanted honest stories they could relate to.

The best new teen films carry on that tradition, and even expand it. Current movies like The Edge of Seventeen, Eighth Grade, and Love, Simon all speak to what it&#39;s like to be an adolescent in modern times. Of course, there are genre films centered around -- and geared toward -- teens, as well. Some of them manage to offer insights, despite telling stories steeped in fantasy.&nbsp;

Vote for your favorites from this list of new and recent teen movies. If your favorite isn&#39;t here, add it. Don&#39;t forget to check back to see how other users rank your pick.&nbsp;

The last four or five years have given audiences some truly hilarious&nbsp;films that are already on their way to achieving &quot;classic&quot; status.

We get to feel some of the excitement of doing things that we could never do in real life. Films that&nbsp;deliver on that promise have long been popular, often becoming box office blockbusters. Modern advancements in CGI technology and stunt work have allowed current adventure movies to sweep audiences away more powerfully than ever.

There is a&nbsp;wide scope within the genre, which is one of its most impressive qualities. The most exciting new adventure movies are a diverse lot. Most recent adventure movies put realistic characters into a completely unrealistic -- but undeniably thrilling action -- situation.

Looking closer at some of the best, most realistic, most brutal depictions of war in the history of entertainment.

Wars on Screen

From classics like Saving Private Ryan to newer entries like Dunkirk and 1917, this list ranks the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best movies</a> about war, battles, and military conflicts. These films recreate some of the most <a href="/list/most-important-historical-events-of-the-20th-century/mwahahahaha?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">significant events</a> in world history from a variety of perspectives and with a variety of purposes and intentions. Some top war films attempt to recreate as realistically as possible the events they depict, either from an omniscient perspective permitted by historical study or from the point of view of the soldiers and civilians involved in the conflict itself. Ridley Scott&#39;s Black Hawk Down, for example, was both praised in its time and heavily criticized for bringing a &quot;you are there&quot; sense of realism - and little outside or cultural perspective - to a recreation of the Battle of Mogadishu. The best war movies of all time differ widely in their handling of the subject matter, but they all strike a chord with viewers now and in the time when they came out.

Some of the <a href="/list/best-war-movies-on-netflix/reference">greatest war films</a> use <a href="/list/historical-movies-made-before-event-ended/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">war as a backdrop</a> to look at larger issues - such as man&#39;s inhumanity to man or the crippling impact of post-traumatic stress - or just as a meditation on war itself. Still other films like Glory and Band of Brothers&nbsp;examine the personal drama of a few individuals, and mine it for larger insights about the meaning of war and the impact that violence has on individual human lives.

Finally, some war films - particularly those made during the classic Hollywood era - are simply adventure films with war providing a compelling setting and situation. The Great Escape, for example, remains a classic not because of its grand ideas about the nature of war, but because it is a ceaselessly entertaining spectacle. No matter what type of film, there&#39;s no denying that these are certainly the best war movies ever.

Vote up your favorite war films to move them up the list, and if <a href="/list/the-ultimate-favorites-list/stevo200?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">your favorites</a> are not yet represented, make your own version of the list and add them!

The&nbsp;best actors in film history are a great subject of debate. These are the greatest actors ever to appear on the silver screen - male only (to vote on both genders, check out this list of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-actors-and-actresses-of-all-time">the greatest film actors and actresses</a>). These gentlemen were part of some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time">greatest movies of all time</a> (or were perhaps the reason they were the best movies ever), with countless <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/Oscars">Academy Awards</a> between them.

What are the qualities of the best actors of all time? Remember, this is not simply about the most famous actors of all time, or the most popular actors. Is it the raw emotion they show, the parts they choose, their acting methods, or simply their effortless charm and charisma? There&#39;s no denying some of these amazing actors belong on the list of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/hottest-male-celebrities">hottest male celebrities</a>, but behind the 1000 watt smiles lies the talent that defines generations of top actors. An argument could be made for some on this list that they are the best actor in the world.

Who is the best actor of all time? Is it a classic actor like Marlon Brando, a comedic genius like Charlie Chaplin, a double-threat like Clint Eastwood, or a method actor like Daniel Day Lewis? There are so many choices for the greatest movie actor ever that you may have a hard time picking just one. Good thing you can vote for as many candidates for best actors ever as you&#39;d like.

Why? Because not everybody likes Hollywood rom-coms. Sometimes you want to dig a little deeper. Good date night movie ideas can spur some interesting discussion and, in the case of horror movies, can bring you two much closer - literally.

One caveat with the date night movie choices: Please, unless you are absolutely certain your sweetie loves period movies, do not, repeat, do not make them suffer through long, sweepingly epic films like The English Patient.&nbsp;Yes, the movie is romantic but trust us, stick with the lighter fare. The same goes for other <a href="/crowdranked-list/all-epic-movies-or-list-of-epic-movies" target="_blank">great epic movies</a> like the Lord of the Rings&nbsp;trilogy. It&#39;s fine if your date is a huge fan, but if not? Bad idea. Also, beware the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-biggest-tearjerkers-ever-made" target="_blank">tearjerker movies</a>.

Really Makes You Think

Here is a&nbsp;list of the best psychological thrillers of all time, ranked by fans who may or may not be trying to mess with your head! Though a variety of definitions for the &quot;psychological thriller&quot; genre have been offered, there is no universally accepted set of guidelines. In general, good psychological thrillers integrate personal character elements into <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/mystery-movies-and-films/reference " target="_blank">mystery</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-suspense-movies/reference " target="_blank">suspense films</a>, essentially toeing the line between a dramatic character study and the sort of plot structure you&#39;d expect from a detective movie. With that in mind, what do you think are the best psychological thriller movies Hollywood has to offer? Could some even be considered the best thriller movies ever?

Many of the top psychological thrillers resemble traditional thrillers or suspense films, only with a personal, internal antagonist rather than a traditional <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time" target="_blank">movie villain</a>. (For example, Repulsion or The Conversation, in which the plot is moved forward by the main character&#39;s growing paranoia and madness.) In many thrilling films of this type, the solution to the main character&#39;s conflict comes in the form of altering their perspective or discovering some buried truth about themselves and their past, rather than winning a fight or battling an opponent.

Many psychological thrillers play around with the main character&#39;s back story, or make use of an unreliable narrator. Films like Christopher Nolan&#39;s Memento present the audience with one perspective on the story, and then generate suspense by showing the ways in which &quot;reality&quot; contrasts to this perspective. (This sometimes, but not always, results in a &quot;twist&quot; or surprise ending based on the difference between the main character&#39;s perception and that of outside observers). Several Alfred Hitchcock movies&nbsp;utilize this technique, particularly movies like Spellbound and Marnie, in which the story concerns a character becoming mentally well after years of madness and confusion. Several of these films are critically acclaimed psychological thrillers.

This list contains the best thriller movies of all time. It is open and vote ranked, so be sure to vote for your favorites and add any other movies that may be missing at the bottom of the page.

Entertainment Franchises

The best Marvel Cinematic Universe movies recreate the enduring characters for a whole new generation, using the classic comic book storylines&nbsp;to tell narratives that remain&nbsp;relevant today. Currently in Phase Three, the first two MCU Phases brought us Iron Man, The Avengers, and Captain America: Winter Soldier.&nbsp;Marvel sagas have a timelessness about&nbsp;them as morality tales of good versus&nbsp;evil will always be an overarching cultural concern. Out of all the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which ones do the best job of revamping these iconic characters for modern times?

Which Marvel films have struck a chord with audiences?
