But "Dial M For Murder" is still one of my favorites. Doesn't have the same impact on me now as it did when I first saw it, but man it blew me away back then.
All Hitchcock thrillers still get me pumped.

And as all good movies, Hithcock's work has stood the test of time. The man was brilliant.
Another surprisingly good sci-fi thriller I saw last year was 'The Butterfly Effect' with Ashton Kutcher. I wasn't expecting much but found my backside near the edge of my seat through most of the movie.
I definitely wanna see The Jacket. I also liked Butterfly Effect, and I was quite surprised by it too. I wasn't expecting that much, but it sure was better than I had anticipated. Well, I actually wasn't even anticipating the movie. My girlfriend wanted me to see it.
I said, "Screw that."
She said, "Well, that'll be IT, then..."
I said, "FINE!" kinda like Napolean Dynamite said. Then said, "This movie better be good..." To my surprise, it was.
I'd have to say that a recent supsense thriller that I didn't mind was Cellular. It's another one I didn't really have much expectations for, but turned out decent enough.
I only put that one down because I couldn't think of anything better at the moment...
A couple of other thrillers I liked:
Se7en
Die Hard still owns all when it comes to giving thrills
Collateral was pretty good, but not worth all the hype
And The Hitcher, from the 80's. Kind of lame, but the first time I saw it... wow
