r/movies on Reddit: Looking for gripping mystery thriller movies
March 30, 2025 -

It could really be any genre as long as mystery and thriller is involved. Id also like to say my favorite settings when it comes to these stories are somewhere in space, in a military setting or underwater (I’ve never been huge on the idea of normal underwater shark types of stuff, if possible I’d like some sort of Atlantis type thing or where they explore a structure or a ship underwater) could be horror or not it doesn’t matter as long as it’s thrilling. I’ve never been a big movie guy so the only mystery thriller movies ive watched that I can think of are Pandorum, Seven, bone tomahawk and the abyss and I loved pandorum a lot

Edit: forgot to say that it does NOT have to be specifically underwater or space movies in open to anything

I love watching mystery. I have watched some and I want to see some more but there's only one condition- "It shouldn't be a slow burner (unless it's really really good)" . Language isn't the problem as long as it's good.

I have already seen some famous ones which I really liked Gone girl, memories of murder, 12 angry man, Silence of the lambs, Zodiac, seven, I saw the devil, primal fear, the usual suspect, the invisible guest etc.

In shows I have already watched Dexter, and then there were none, Mouse, True detective, The wire, the blacklist, flower of evil, The mentalist etc.

I want something where the protagonist and antagonists are equally smart and cunning. Please suggest me some good ones. If it's a good murder mystery then it would be best.

P.S. - You can suggest me some anime too if any fight the criteria.

My partner and I just watched Trap (2024) and we were so disappointed 😪

So now we're looking for movies to watch in a similar genre and that's ACTUALLY GOOD.

Any (Pyschological) Thrillers/Mystery/Crime movie recommendations would do but hopefully, of course.... well-written....

TIA.

Nightcrawler (2014) - starts off slow but builds the tension massively to one of the most edge-of-your-seat climaxes I’ve seen. Uncut Gems (2019) - famously anxiety inducing. The whole vibe of the film is unlike anything else out there, with a unique premise, brilliant acting and it’s equally as funny as it is tense. If you like this try Good Time (2017) from the same directors (Safdie brothers), which is another great crime thriller with superb pacing. Blow Out (1981) - one of Brian De Palma’s Hitchock-inspired thrillers. Bombed on release and these days nobody understands why. Interesting story mixing politics and movie-making and is overall an incredibly engaging mystery with an exceptionally bleak ending. Also Quentin Tarantino’s favourite movie. Marathon Man (1976) - whilst this is a pretty famous one it also seems kind of slept on nowadays. Unbelievably well directed with a wildly unpredictable plot, and a great central performance from Dustin Hoffman. Michael Clayton (2007) - incredibly taught legal thriller that does not waste a second of its screen time. This is a very grown up film that really respects its audience and demands your attention throughout. Easily George Clooney’s best performance. Witness (1985) - very 80s in its delivery and overall tone. It’s a rather odd premise for a film being a crime thriller set within the Amish community, but it’s another that uses its concept and screen time to its absolute maximum potential. Blood Simple (1984) - Coen Brothers’ debut. Even from their first effort, the Coens’ signature style is all over this one - rural landscape, idiosyncratic dialogue, dark humour and extreme violence. Another 80s classic that will have you hooked until the final scene. The Secret in Their Eyes (2009) - Argentinian film, another legal thriller. You will literally never guess what happens in this film. It was a pretty big hit at the time and won an Oscar, but I don’t hear it talked about much now. Completely perfect.

I have watched most movies frequently recommended on Reddit. I explicitly want only mystery thrillers(including Sci-fi). No action thrillers(bourne, MI etc) or Comedy thrillers(Seven psychos, Nice guys etc). Also no Horror/Supernatural elements. Also no slasher type movies. Era - 1970's and above. Please recommend .Thanks

i also love movies like Hateful eight, no country, Pulp fiction. Tension is built with dialogues. No intense action scenes.

I am in a bad situation: I love gritty and dark thrillers but I feel like I have seen all the good ones. Do you have any recommendations?

I'm not into the old stuff too much, so anything before 1985 or so isn't really my thing. Also, I like dark and serious realism. No comedy or genre bending parody stuff, even if it's good.

The ones I like and have seen already:

  • Prisoners

  • Reptile

  • Sicario

  • Hell or High Water

  • Wind River

  • No Country for Old Men

  • Eastern Promises

  • A History of Violence

  • City of God

  • The Place Beyond the Pines

  • Heat

  • Se7en

  • Gone Girl

  • Angel Heart

  • The Shining

  • True Detective (season 1!)

  • Mindhunter

  • Insomnia

  • The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

  • The Silence of the Lambs

  • Red Dragon

  • The Rover

  • The Departed

  • Casino

  • Goodfellas

  • Nightcrawler

  • Mystic River

  • Collateral

  • Zero Dark Thirty

You get the idea. I did not enjoy The Usual Suspects, Zodiac, The Game and LA Confidential. I am mostly interested in interesting cop characters, like Del Toro in Reptile or Gyllenhaal in Prisoners.

Any ideas?

r/MovieSuggestions on Reddit: Looking for Great Recent Thriller / Mystery / Espionage / Action / Fast-Paced Movies – Any Recommendations?
July 20, 2025 -

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some really solid recent movies (ideally from 2020 onwards) in the thriller, mystery, espionage, action, or fast-paced genres. I’m in the mood for gripping films with smart plots, psychological twists, tense action, or high-stakes espionage. Whether it’s a slow-burn thriller or something more adrenaline-fueled, Preferably fast paced but I’m open to both — as long as it’s well-crafted and keeps me hooked from start to finish.

I especially love movies with strong suspense, sharp pacing, and stories that keep you guessing. Bonus points if it’s something a little underrated or off the mainstream radar.

For reference, here are a few movies I’ve really enjoyed in this space: • Prisoners • The Night House • Wind River • Gone Girl • The Invisible Man (2020) • Sicario • Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy • Zero Dark Thirty • No Time to Die

Also open to international films if they bring strong suspense, action, or intrigue.

What are some of the best recent movies you’ve seen in these genres? Would love to hear your recommendations — thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm looking for some twisty mysteries, neo-noir, and revenge-type thrillers.

Maybe something where the protagonist is tracking down someone who wronged them in the past and now they've come to collect?

Anything similar to Mystic River and Prisoners.

Anything that has some interesting and unique reveals.

And anything genre-bending.

Thanks!

I love suspenseful movies where I am on the edge of my seat. I like mind bending movies too where I think about the movie even after it's over. I want to see some more mysteries too, since during the movie you can try to put the clues together and figure out what's going on. Just so you know what kind of movies I've watched, here is a list:

Inception, Shutter Island, Interstellar, The Prestige, The Departed, The Game, The Gift, Memento, Enemy, Prisoners, Arrival, Annihilation, Gone Girl, Moon, Source Code, Zodiac, Nightcrawler, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, LA Confidential, Predestination, Seven, Fight Club, Green Room, Coherence, The Invitation, Triangle, No Country for Old Men, Whiplash, Gone Baby Gone, Buried, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Wind River, Blue Ruin, Resolution, and The Endless.

I know that's a huge list, but if you guys could just take a quick glance at it and see what my cup of tea is, maybe you can help me. If it helps, I like directors like Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Denis Villeneuve, and Martin Scorsese. Leave me suggestions, thanks!

What are some mystery/thriller movies that are not that widely known according to you. Like I heard about "the last of sheila (1972)" After "Knives out (2019)" came out.

Could be a foreign movie or some old movie. Please dont recommend popular movies like David fincher, nolan movies, identity or the invisible guest.

My wife and I have been on a murder mystery/mystery film kick. We've had a ton of fun watching them. I need a new one to watch this weekend. But I'm not seeing anything on lists that grabs me. Can anyone give me a recommendation?

We've already seen the following ones:

  • Silence of the Lambs

  • Red Dragon

  • Hannibal

  • LA Confidential

  • Chinatown

  • Mystic River

  • Shutter Island

  • 12 Angry Men

  • The Prestige

  • Memento

  • M -Rashomon

  • Heat

  • Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

  • Prisoners

  • Rear Window

  • Psycho

  • Minority Report

  • Fargo

  • No Country For Old Men

  • Gone Girl

  • Se7en

  • The Hateful Eight

  • The Usual Suspects

  • Memories of Murder (Incredible film!)

  • Knives Out

  • Clue

  • Spotlight

There are others we have watched, but I'm drawing a blank. Any recommendations would greatly be appreciated.

I think Old Boy (2003) is one? I'm not sure. I want to watch that one, but it's not available for rent or streaming anywhere. Such as shame.

Thank you!

I watched The Gift, his directorial ... a good movie. He plays a mysterious guy from Jason Bateman character's past (who has just bought a house with his wife Rebecca Hall) who they meet by accident but then who keeps showing up again and makes their life complicated.
