Talk:Thriller (genre)

Missing author

According to the Wiki entry for top selling authors Dean Koontz is by far the top-selling author of thrillers. I don't see him even mentioned in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.144.159.38 (talk) 21:55, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Villain

The article says "A thriller is villain-driven plot". But what about thrillers where there are no villains such as The Hurt Locker?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.35.34.13 (talk) 22:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

WorldCat Genres

Hello, I'm working with OCLC, and we are algorithmically generating data about different Genres, like notable Authors, Book, Movies, Subjects, Characters and Places. We have determined that this Wikipedia page has a close affintity to our detected Genere of suspense-films. It might be useful to look at [1] for more information. Thanks.

"...with Marilyn Monroe as the trashy femme fatale who schemes to kill her unstable husband..." Trashy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.73.210 (talk) 04:12, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Marilyn Monroe is trashy?

"...with Marilyn Monroe as the trashy femme fatale who schemes to kill her unstable husband..." Calling her trashy seems a bit harsh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.73.210 (talk) 04:15, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed wikipedia category: Telekinesis in Film

Anyone have any thoughts on this? How does one actually create a category on here? --RThompson82 (talk) 03:05, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Notable contributors to the thriller genre

These lists are already quite long and growing regularly. I propose removing the list of novelists, as they are already in the List of thriller writers. I propose moving the list of film directors to a similar new article and linking to it. — Anita5192 (talk) 04:48, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

I removed the section and moved the link, List of thriller writers, to the "See also" section. This section consisted entirely of a list of authors already in that list, and a list of directors of films that are in the article, List of thriller films, which is already linked from "Subgenres in film." — Anita5192 (talk) 18:18, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
