Jean de Florette
Manon of the Spring
Irreversible
À l'intérieur

I'm not sure if Taxi Driver counts as a psychological thriller, but it nonetheless gives an in-depth look into the mind of Travis Bickle. I was watching it tonight, and it's one of my all-time favorite films, so much that I named my dog after De Niro's character.

Fargo

I've always thought of Fargo as a dark comedy, but an awesome movie anyway.

The Usual Suspects
LA Confidential
Zodiac
Angel Heart (which turned out to be a horror film)
Wonderland
Blue Velvet

I really enjoyed Zodia a lot.

I threw Citizen X into the disturbing movies thread but maybe it fits in better here.

The Mothman Prophecies is kind of a supernatural thriller. Would recommend to fans of the X-Files.

I vote for "Fargo" also, one of the very few movies that I have watched more than once. William H. Macy is mesmerizing as the used-car salesman, and the lead character (lady cop) sounds EXACTLY like one of my sisters.

Some of those aren't even thrillers, like Die Hard. That's an action movie.... completely different to a thriller. It may be thrilling to watch but that isn't at all the definition of the thriller genre.

How about The Great Escape? That's one of my favorites in this category.

Zodiac
One Hour Photo
Vertigo
Rear Window
The Birds
Psycho
The Silence of the Lambs
Drive
Memento

Winter's Bone
Martha, Marcy May, Marlene
