Movies: psychological thrillers

Post by matthew1 »

I love em.

Just watched Memento and The Machinist back-to-back, both for the second time. I thought I liked The Machinist better, but I like Memento more. It's just more clever, where Machinist relies on the less-clever "dark/strange" aspect to power it.

IMDB users agree: Memento gets an 8.6 rating there, Machinist gets a 7.8.

Memento is hands-down one of the best movies I think I've seen.

I've never seen the Machinist, but I'll have to check that one out.

I'm excited about the new Dark Knight movie coming out this weekend!!! :wink:

For psychological thrillers, Manhunter is amazing. Silence of the lambs was written after this, as the prequel to it. But this movie is masterful.

And Sleeping with the enemy because and ENTIRE theater of people screamed at Campbells Soup Cans (no joke it was amazing)
