After a long week, you need a film that doesn't ask too much but gives everything, these are made for exactly that. Thrillers with real tension, the kind that makes you hold your breath without realising it. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. No filler, no disappointments, every film here earned its place.

The thriller genre produces a lot of filler. None of it is here. Picked for Friday night energy - tired but not ready to switch off completely. The 2000s are underrated. A lot of the best films from that era still haven't found their full audience. More lists by genre, mood, and occasion at Moviepiq.
