Anderson123 38,490 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 If you have Netflix I think you'd enjoy this new spanish show called The Innocent starring Mario Casas, it's really good and he's usually in some really good thriller movies. You should check out The Invisible Guest, The Paramedic and The Photographer of Mauthausen. All of these are on Netflix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 21,118 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I don't know if you've ever watched Black Swan, it's my favorite movie ever, you can watch Darren Aronofsky's other movies too (it's not for everyone though). I see you liked Prisoners, Denis Villeneuve made another great movie called "Incendies", it's in French but if you can find it with subtitles, I recommend, the story is beautiful and the plot twist is just... wow. Get Out is a really good take at racism in the form of a thriller/horror movie, I loved it. Abre los ojos (Open your eyes), a mix between thriller/fantasy/fantastic, miles better than its American remake Vanilla Sky. 10 Cloverfield Lane was a nice surprise for me, a good thriller with suspense and tension. The Sixth Sense if you haven't watched it, great plot twist too! Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a good mix between thriller, drama and comedy, it's refreshing to see a movie like this. Misery, adapted from the book by Stephen King, a classic! Sleuth, it's an older movie (I think there was a remake more recently but watch the one from 1972), it's a good and clever thriller, simply a mind game between two characters but it's really efficient. I'd recommend all Mankiewicz movies actually, especially All about Eve, I don't know if you're open to older movies (they're mostly from the 40s-60s), they're always great. Parasite if you haven't watched it yet, it's also a mix between thriller, drama, comedy, with a social critique. Old Boy, another Korean movie, more of a pure thriller, there's more violence too, and it has a great plot twist. The Butterfly Effect, a good mix of thriller and fantasy, watch the Director's cut version if you can, it drastically changes the ending. Shutter Island, a nice thriller with mystery, hidden things. Pan's Labyrinth is a beautiful thriller in the form of a fairytale. The Silence of the Lambs, a classic too. I can recommend a lot more, I have a list of more than 1100 movies and I only randomly named some of them here, I can go on for much longer The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic!

OMG... I have watched "Abre los ojos" for the first time at 15 when I lived in Spain in school (obviously cuz it's a spanish movie) and I loved it and have watched it multiple times! I also watched Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise because I wanted to know which one was better... (I preferred the spanish version) This movie gives me such a throwback I know some of the films on your list too - but there are also some that I don't know and will check them out!
