One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is kind of a weird pick for this poll I think, I mean it's vaguely crime related because the main character is technically a criminal and definitely a rebel, but it's not a thriller and there's not really any focus on crime per se, it's more a social commentary on the hypocrisy of the mental health system in America.

Yeah I was thinking the same. But I remember the Octokrool guys watching it, thinking it was s straight comedy. Their realization it was way more than what they thought it was was pretty funny itself tho.

There are many good films on this list. I know Prisoners will probably not win but damn that is a very underrated movie. If people haven't seen it they should. It's pretty intense, complex, and well acted. It kept me guessing right up till the end and a re-watch revealed a few things I missed the first time.

Ed R

Same. I'm not sure that movie fits here.

My suggestions for Crime/Thriller would be ‘To Live and Die in LA’(I think the Schmitt’s will get a kick out of title)Since they recently watched The Untouchables, how about another Brian DePalma classic ‘Blowout’.

"The Flock" is a suggestion for a future poll along these lines. Also "Arbitrage".

To be fair, even though I voted for another movie, Vertigo is a VERY good movie. I hope it is on future polls.

Cuckoos Nest a crime thriller?....

I’m glad Memento is winning, but I do hope the strong showing of support American Psycho is getting will result in it too getting a reaction! 😁

Hey, do you think you all will ever get back into the films of David Lynch, or was Mulholland Drive just too much? These are four of my favorite Lynch films, ranked in order from least f*cked up to the most. The Elephant Man Wild At Heart Lost Highway Eraserhead But I still and always will most recommend one watch his “Twin Peaks” television series and film.

Really sad to see Prisoners lagging. I suspect its because it slipped under the radar on release. Ill keep championing for it!

Ed R

Same here. its a great movie that I feel is on almost no-one's radar. Honestly its the most intense movie on this list imo. I discovered it by accident myself and was surprised to learn it was directed by Denis Villeneuve. Really great performances by Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo and Paul Dano. Pretty stacked cast and even the small roles are well acted.

I love American Psycho, but I am glad to see Memento win here, because I think it is a far more interesting movie overall.

It would definitely be in your best interest (since you just watched The Untouchables) to check out Brian De Palma’s 1981 thriller ‘Blow Out.’ It is a truly terrific, exciting, surprising film, and I’m willing to bet you (and many viewers) have not heard of it. It has the hallmarks of a great De Palma movie: incredibly conceived and executed shots, insane tension and suspense, and a touch of the macabre. It also features John Travolta’s best dramatic performance and a memorable Pino Donnagio score. Sure, it may not rake in the views like some other popular titles would, but I feel like it would be a truly rewarding watch.

Maybe a double watch? On the other polls as well where it was/is tight, but in particular this one. American Psycho is just such a great film. It's more of a black comedy than anything, think you'd find it really funny.

It truly is, but I fear they’ll never do it because a) it won’t get the poll votes, and b) it won’t get the clicks after the fact. Such a shame.
