Remind me of some great edge of your seat thrillers or mysteries that I've forgotten about from 80s and 90s. Films like The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and that one with Julia Roberts where all the tins in the cupboard are facing the same way ( cant recall the title) ...

Sleeping with the Enemy is the one with Julia Roberts. The following aren't exactly my favourite thrillers, but remind me of the ones you mentioned:

Black Widow
Someone to Watch Over Me
Spellbinder
Sea of Love
Internal Affairs

Is malice the one where they get a lodger living in the room downstairs and he goes a bit crazy ?

reply

Alec Baldwin does move in with married couple Nicole Kidman and Bill Pullman. Then he operates on Nicole and she sues him for malpractice and leaves Bill. Things turn out to be not quite as they seem.

reply

Ah yes something about she has a miscarriage. I think I'm thinking of Pacific heights (?) Though. Great suggestions, thanks.

reply

Ah yes, Pacific Heights! Totally forgot about that one. Matthew Modine and Melanie Griffith as a yuppy couple and a crazy Michael Keaton. I have a fondness for 80s and 90s thrillers. I like to watch them, even if they're not that good.๐Ÿ˜

I added a few more.

reply

No Way Out, Presumed Innocent, Single White Female... you named a whole lot of my choices. Superb selections!

reply

Diabolique! Haven't seen that in years, I love that film. There's a few I've not heard of on your list so I'll look them up first ๐Ÿ‘

reply

I do think the original French movie Les Diaboliques from 1955 is the better movie, though.

I have to warn you that not all of them are great, I just enjoy the cheesiness!

reply

No problem, I won't judge you for any cr@p ones ๐Ÿ˜‰

reply

Phew! Thanks!๐Ÿ˜…

I watched The Net recently and I still enjoyed the story but the graphics are dated! It's mad how much home gaming has changed since this was made.
