#1 THRILLER OF ALL TIME!

IMO, Thriller is just a word studios and filmmakers use when they don't want their film pegged as a horror movie. Like the label "horror" is so damn demeaning. This really pisses me off when they do that. Like when Silence of the Lambs won the Oscar, no one would call it a horror flick. No, it's a psychological thriller.
Thriller to me is like a racy whodunit film or a fast-paced, edge of your seat type movie, like Basic Instinct or Nick of Time.
Some films fall into different catagories, and those are often the best films. I think great movies shouldn't be easy to catagorize. I think Sixth Sense falls into several catagories, horror and drama are the two most readily identifiable.
