(A thriller is something that thrills, especially a suspenseful, sensational genre of story, book, play or film)
Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains. Writer Vladimir Nabokov, in his lectures said that "In an Anglo-Saxon thriller, the villain is generally punished, and the strong silent man generally wins the weak babbling girl"
Here are a few examples of thriller films:
The matrix
Alien
The godfather
Jaws
Fight club
