MY FAVOURITE THRILLERS OF ALL TIME

Pulp fiction 

Pulp fiction is one of my favourite thrillers of all time due to its lurid tone,great soundtrack and over the top violence.

Wolf of Wall Street 

This is one of my favourite thrillers as it has a lurid tone like pulp fiction. However its approach is very different.It achieves this through comedy and over the top explicit content via drug abuse and sex.

The Godfather 

the godfather is one of my personal favourite due to the authentic gangster atmosphere  it creates with MISE-EN-SE . The only other piece of media that made feel this same atmosphere was in the Boardwalk empire series.

Alien

This Sci fi thriller instantly creates suspense with the use of music,special effects and showing aspects of the alien while grows and feeds.This film tingles my adrenaline gland and that excitement is what I love about it.

THE BEST THRILLERS OF ALL TIME

Reservoir Dogs

Reservoir Dogs is considered to be one of the best action stylised thrillers of all time.The Independent film that sparked Quentin Tarantino's Directing career. The film incorporates over the top brutal stylised violence,relatable characters,  aspects of classic films and great soundtrack(1960's to 80's music) all incorporated into the thriller genre.These aspects are all part of Quentin Tarantino trademark and what makes his films so unique.The film starts of with characters eating lunch before performing a heist this makes them more relatable and the audience instantly creates a bond with characters.The characters in the film have colours instead of names (e.g Mr pink) as they do not want  the police to track them down. This is refreshing as they audience do not have to focus their time on trying to remember the name of characters instead of judging the quality of the film.The rest of the film is after the heist with flashbacks showing how they got to their current situation. The characters are very interesting after the opening scene the audience feels they can predict what type of person they are.However the audience are in for a surprise the characters perform various unexpected stunts throughout the film keeping the audience vibrant and alive and wondering what happening next. In certain scenes violence is used through objects such as guns,knives and over the top stylised blood this bring colour to the film. He  really uses the high key lighting to it's fullest this makes the film ironically delightful in comparison to  most thrillers which are extremely realistic and dull. So I conclude Reservoir dogs is considered to be one of the best thrillers of all time as it introduces over the top violence and relatable characters which previously was rarely seen in a thriller genre.

Pulp fiction

Pulp fiction is Quentin Tarantino's second entry in the thriller genre.Like Reservoir dogs this film has over the top action,relatable characters,great soundtrack,elements of old films however the difference between Reservoir Dogs and other thrillers lie in its name 'Pulp Fiction'( Pulp-A soft moist shapeless mass of matter. Fiction- A magazine or book containing lurid subject matter and being charasticly printed on rough unfinished paper) this implies that the thriller a unpleasant brightly in colorised  story with no real plot or order. This is very much true pulp fiction it has random scenes with no real meaning but come together to make a bigger picture. It depicts themes of religion,rape,murder,greed,drug abuse,sex and scandals which are all very lurid in the setting of LA.This is enhanced with high key lighting.This makes the story incredibly interesting as the audience has to use their brains to discover the links between the various scenes.The enjoyment of the film comes from the concentration of the audience unlike most thrillers just have a simple story line beginning middle and end.The film also uses green scene when in car to enhance the characters inside the car.This is because allot of the important scenes happen in cars wether it's murder or a revealing of the plot through conversation.I felt that this was a nice touch and helped the audience focus whats inside the car.Like Reservoir dogs the characters are interesting and bursting with personality. They still are relatable such as talking about burgers and getting high  while surprising us with unexpected stunts. I don't want give away any spoilers but their are two easter eggs one to kill bill and another to death proof in this film. The sound track is rock and roll surf music.This reinforces the lurid effect.So i conclude pulp fiction is considered to be one of the best thrillers of all time as it introduces multiple story's that  come together make a bigger picture.Each plot is Lurid but has a dark undertone while consisting of Quentin Tarantino's trademarks.

The Godfather

The Godfather is an incredible story about the Corlone family in 1940's New york. The film is based very much on crime.The godfather is the head of the family and the mob.The film feels very authentic from the music,setting,low key lighting,props and the great acting. This creates a dark atmosphere.This creates the effect that New york is a dangerous place and at any time a member of a family could be attacked by a gangster.This instantly creates suspense. Marlon Brando make an exceptional performance as the godfather and really holds the beginning and end of the film together. The middle of film is focused on his son Al pacino who does an excellent performance. The story is pretty basic a assassination attempt is placed on the godfather this sparks tension between the to major gangs in new york. His son played by Al Pacino has to replace his father as head of the mob however originally he was a soldier and did not want to be involved in his fathers business.The transformation is performed excellently through scenes of revenge,love and violence. The music is very slow and creating the effect of the mob lurking within the city and that people really have to watch each other's back.The film one highest grossing picture,box office leader of 1972 and one 3 oscars.

Alien

Alien is an incredible sci fi thriller. The film was directed by James Cameron.the film is a 1970's perspective of the future.In this future humans explore galaxy.Upon their travels they discover a new planet.on this planet of their members are attacked they take him back to the ship but little do they know he carries an alien inside.We only see aspects of the alien as it grows,kills and feeds.This is not new and was done in Steven Spielberg's Jaws however what is really innovative about this film is the effects.The alien is enhanced by clouding him in smoke,flickering lights and small explosions this really makes it interesting every time we se a bit of the alien.The viewer feel satisfied when they see the entire alien in the final scene.The film  creates a sense of suspense not only with the alien but the music as well the london symphony orchestra did a great performance of creating a feeling that the characters were lost in space and that something is lurking in the ship.Like the godfather it is slow but when the alien appears it speeds up dramatically.

Jaws

Jaws is unique to the thriller genre.The film is about a great white shark lurking within the waters of a peaceful town.The island is a summer town it makes it money from tourist visiting during the summer.They create this atmosphere as the local's constantly ask the police force to deal with basic problems such as telling kids to stop practising Karate one their fence this implies nothing bad really happens in this town.The Person that owns the beach persistently refuses to shut it down on the f4th of july creating the effect the town is dependent on the money beach makes in the summer.Unlike a psycho thriller the film cannot focus on the killer thoughts and emotions as it is a shark killing on evolutionary instinct so instead it focuses on the reaction of people such as the police force,locals and business men.When the shark appears in order to create suspense James Cameron only shows elements of the shark or a POV shot.This is reinforced with  the unforgettable soundtrack that starts of slows and progressively faster as the shark gets closer to its prey.
