Plot twists that leave an audience stunned and amazed at having the rug spectacularly pulled out from under their feet. Action scenes that, spectacular though they might be, serve to strengthen the storyline, not just blow up helicopters. And, most of all, the kind of stories that grip you like a vice, never knowing what's coming until the very end.
There are so many thriller films that are considered to be the best of all time. The main thriller films which I consider to be the best of times are "Se7en" and many more. Some people might disagree with me, but i guarantee you that after you have seen these thrillers, you will agree with that they are the best thrillers of all time.
Headhunters (2011) Morten Tyldum This Scandinavian pulp noir thriller, based on the bestseller by Jo Nesbo, sees diminutive headhunter Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) compensate for his shortcomings via lucrative art thefts - until matters get horrifically out of hand. Subscribing to a visceral version of the Robert Towne school of filmmaking, where a movie is simply four or five moments, with the rest existing "to give those moments their impact and resonance", Headhunters gives us at least five never-to-be-forgotten set-pieces, plus a cracking performance from Hennie to glue it all together.
Se7en (1995) David Fincher
The film that established David Fincher's apparently inseparable relationship with the darker side of human existence, this bleak, bleak film noir sidesteps the cliches it appears to bury itself in (two mismatched cops, one black, one white; the old-timer on the edge of retirement; a brilliant serial killer with a twisted Biblical methodology) with fierce intelligence, manifested both in an unusual density of literary reference and through exceptional performances from a fine cast, with Morgan Freeman's haunted Somerset and Brad Pitt's feisty Mills more than ably matched. Then of course there's that ending.
Annabelle (2014)
