10.The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

A rookie FBI agent must enlist the assistance of a serial murderer jailed in a mental institution to apprehend another vicious and murderous killer. The best thriller ever imagined is 'The Silence of the Lambs.' In all of its consequences, the work remains relevant even more than two decades after its debut.

9.The Big Clock (1948)

When an innocent guy realizes he will be named as the primary suspect in a murder, he makes every effort to conceal evidence and discover the true perpetrator. 'The Big Clock' is a frenetic film that discloses an unrecoverable storyline in every case. A 1940s gem that deserved more attention than it has received.

8.Gone Girl (2014)

The narrative revolves around a man's hunt for his missing wife. We may argue that this film is made up of two separate storylines in the same setting, only separated by an unexpected "plot twist" in the middle of the work.

7.The Night of the Hunter (1955)

The film depicts the narrative of a guy who considers himself a religious, a type of local pastor, but who utilizes the symbol of religion to exploit those around him. ‘The Night of the Hunter,' a 1950s classic, is a one-of-a-kind picture that exposes every nasty aspect of mankind while constantly employing magnificent photography, a very distinctive ambience, and an unrivalled performance by the famous Robert Mitchum.

6.Cape Fear (1991)

After being freed from jail, a guy seeks vengeance on the lawyer who was responsible for his imprisonment, torturing the individual's family in a bizarre game. ‘Cape Fear,' a jewel of Martin Scorsese's film, is a remake of a 1960s work (based on a novel by John D. MacDonald), yet it is much better than the original. The tension Scorsese loves for creating by bringing each meandering of the story succeeds to keep the spectator concerned with each outdated piece. A film with outstanding performances by stars Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte.

5.Collateral (2004)

The film tells the narrative of a taxi driver who, by mistake, picks up a professional murderer as a passenger, gets kidnapped by the man, and is forced to transport him to complete his mortal everyday existence. Collateral' captures all of Michael Mann's cinematic radiance, with nimble sequences that totally captivate the audience's attention. A fantastic film, made even better by the outstanding performances of Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx as the primary protagonists.

4.No Country for Old Men (2007)

3.2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

2.Die Hard (1988)

The film, which was released around Christmas, chronicles the kidnapping of a corporate facility by a "terrorist organization" with the intent of carrying out a massive heist. The criminals' plans begin to unravel when they discover that John McClane, an off-duty cop, has been detained on the spot and is determined to obstruct them as much as possible. ‘Die Hard,' a landmark of the action genre, is responsible for the creation of numerous genre clichés. Also worthy of note is Alan Rickman's portrayal of Hans Gruber, one of cinema's most powerful and fascinating villains.

1.The Dark Knight (2008)

The Joker is terrorizing Gotham with robberies and other crimes. It is up to Batman to rid the city of the villain, despite several setbacks and adversaries. 'The Dark Knight' is a film, unlike any other superhero subgenre. An outstanding film that exceeds the subgenre's restricted conventional area of growth, bringing the spectator a compact story with always correct resolves.
