If you’re in the mood for action-thrillers, on Prime I’d recommend Sicario and Prisoners (both tense and layered), and on Netflix Nightcrawler and The Guilty are solid picks if you like more psychological tension than straight action. Also, if you’re open to something a little different — more claustrophobic and character-driven than explosions and car chases — Day of a Lion (on Prime & Apple TV) leans into psychological thriller territory with a very tense sisterhood story. Not the usual action beats, but definitely the kind of film that lingers after. We have even posted the extended trailer on our profile. Would love to know your views on it.

since school's over, me and my family watch movies every night and they let me pick the movie all the time. they love thrillers/sci-fi/murder mystery/action/horror. but i ran out of ideas and i feel like they're not AMAZED with any movies yet. can yall please suggest something that might become their favorite movie? or at least similar to what we've already watched
we've watched: Nightcrawler, Argo, Prey, Old, Intersellar, Upgrade, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Where the Crawdads Sing, Inception, Extraction/2, Children of Men, His House, and Skyscraper.
(most preferably no sex scenes please, the atmosphere gets awkward haha) other genre movies are acceptable too, as long as it's AMAZING and worth the watch. THANK U!!

I highly recommend "director chasing" meaning, if you like a movie by a director, check out their other stuff. I really liked "Ex Machina" dir by Alex Garland which led me to "Annihilation" (both fit your criteria). I loved "Se7en" dir by David Fincher so I checked out all his other movies, my favorites being his version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Game" (social network and fight club also classics, can't really go wrong with him). I LOVED "Arrival" dir by Denis Villeneuve which led me to all his terrific movies. You mentioned "Interstellar" I would recommend Nolan's 2nd movie "Memento", big ol twist in that one. Another that would fit the bill is "Shutter Island" dir by the legend himself Martin Scorsese. Could find a number of great films there too. Hope this helps.
