What an amazing list of movies like the iconic The Game! I love Shutter Island, it is one of the greatest psychological thrillers I’ve ever seen! Love Leo!
Cant’ say that I’ve seen any of them – I haven’t…..
Woah! These movies almost make us fainted! They are really heart stopping movies.
I’ve seen all of the movies on the list, and I’d have to say that Vanilla Sky is my least favorite in the group. It pales in comparison to Shutter Island, IMHO. 🙂
Great list of movies! Shutter Island is my favorite one!
These are a bit too intense for me. I had to give up scary movies. They stay in my mind too long!
Honestly I have not watched the Game movie before, but would love watching anything on one such story-line. The trailer is amazing and the others ones that got my attention are the Panic Room and The Number 23.
Oh wow- those were some great choices. I’ve seen most of those too.
I have a window to my back when I work and students walk by all day long – that’s creepy enough for me! My husband LOVES movies that can spook him a bit. I’ll watch them with him occasionally.
Vanilla sky is such a strange movie! I remember seeing it in the theater and being so freaked out after.
OH wow these are a great list of movies, I think I have seen most of them. Appreciate the share 😉
I’m a movie addict and I’m always looking for something new to watch. These are some great options. I’ll have to look for them on Netflix!
All the leads are actor that I respect so I will take a look on some of the movies. thank you for the list.
I love movies like this!!! I haven’t seen some of them, I will have to add them to my movie streaming list!
