My movie mania, part 3 - thriller, et al

Life of David Gale http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289992/
I’m a huge Kevin Spacey fan, remember ? Tight, taut thriller with a neat kick in the end

Sin City http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/
Brilliant, simply scintillating visuals (animation?). Made me a Frank Miller fan.

Dog day Afternoon http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072890/
Cult classic crime thriller. Loved Al Pacino.

Panic http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0194218/
William H. Macy, underrated actor, underrated thriller

Confidence http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0310910/
Nice surprise package, almost reminiscent of “Things to do…”

The Rainmaker http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119978/
Arguably the best Grisham book and hence the best Grisham movie. Note – it’s also a Coppola movie

After the Sunset http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367479/
Slick, Bond-like stuff. Hotter thanks to Salma.

Exorcism of Emily Rose http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0404032/
And its actually based on a true-event. Watch out for Tom Wilkinson.

Manchurian Candidate http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368008/
Jonathan Demme after a long time. I think I should watch the original.

Land of the dead http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418819/
Come on, it’s a Romero.

Final Cut http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343/
Lovely idea, but perhaps not executed that well.
