5 Best Thriller Movies (From The ’90s) Ranked As Per Their Letterboxd Ratings
The timeline between 1990 and 2000 has served many thriller movies to the global audience. While some were all about the indie flicks, a few of them were truly legendary. However, most of them, even the ones delivered by the greatest directors, failed to gather significant box office collections. But ironically, that doesn’t mean that the films weren’t any great. With that being said, the thriller genre has ruled the 90’s in many ways and these are some of the best ones (ranked as per their Letterboxd ratings) –
The Usual Suspects
The Usual Suspects have one of the best endings after The Sixth Sense. The storyline begins with the narration by a con man, Roger Kint. He starts echoing the past events that led to a massive battle on a boat. However, in the end, it gets revealed that nobody else but it was Roger who was behind the gunfight. With that being said, The Usual Suspects is available to rent on Vudu.
LA Confidential
LA Confidential stars Kim Basinger, Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, Danny DeVito, and many other top actors from the H-town. It perhaps includes one of the best storylines and suspense ever crafted in history and maybe that is why it got nominated for Best Picture as well. With that being said, the story of LA Confidential follows the journey of three police officers while they investigate murders around Hollywood. LA Confidential is available to stream on IMDb TV.
Se7en
Directed by David Fincher, Se7ven echoes a story about Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, two detectives who are on their way to hunt a serial killer down. The specialty of this murderer is that he kills people based on seven sins. With that being said, Se7en is available to stream on Peacock.
Pulp Fiction
Many viewers and critics believed that this Quentin Tarantino film is one of the greatest ones ever made in history. For the majority of Pulp Fiction’s part, it is quite difficult to predict the story unless the plot itself echoes it. The narration surrounded a criminal, his family, two assassins, and a fighter. While the film and the narration are praised for its spectacular cast, a completely new and unique concept, and a significant write-up, it is one of the best-rated 90’s thriller movies of all time. With that being said, Pulp Fiction is available to stream on AMC+.
Perfect Blue
It is quite rare to find an animated film leading such a list. However, Perfect Blue is quite an exception. It is an adaptation of the novel of the same name and focuses mainly on a singer who gets stalked by an obsessive fan. While the film is intense and harrowing, it keeps the viewers all awake unless the suspense breaks through. With that being said, Perfect Blue is available to rent on Apple TV.
