Thriller movies are always a treat to our eyes. So, I have put together a list of 7 movies under the thriller genre. If you have already seen any movie in the list, then I would strongly recommend you to watch it again. Watching a movie 2nd time gives us the different aspect than it did the 1st time. Epic movies don’t age. I have put together this list with the help of IMDB.
Between 1980 and 1990 a lot of thrillers released in Hollywood. Some were spine chilling and others average. This decade gave us thrilling movies like Die Hard (1988), Predator (1987), Aliens (1986) and many more. Here is a list of 7 handpicked movies for 7 days.
1. Mad Max : The Road Warrior (1981) – This movie featured the Academy award winner director George Miller and actor Mel Gibson. This is a post-apocalyptic high voltage action/thriller. A remake of this movie is coming in 2015 featuring Tom Hardy. It may be the baddest car-movie ever made. The chase scenes are gritty and thrilling. None of that car fall off the cliff and blows up crap. Watch it and feel the exhilarating thrill.

4. Blue Velvet (1986) – From the 4 times Oscar’s nominated top notch director David Lynch and brilliant performances by the actors. This movie is a perfect combination of Crime/mystery/thriller. Be warned–the film is very extreme. There’s explicit violence, plenty of nudity, sex and tons of profanity. Not for the squeamish. Still, I loved it from beginning to end. One of my favorite films of all time.
