25 Thrillers on Netflix That’ll Get Your Heart Racing

Distract yourself from the real world with excitement of the cinematic kind. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       The Best Thrillers on Netflix Right Now   Weekends are for planting yourself on the couch, getting take out, and turning on a movie so unnerving and uncomfortable that you can't help but watch. On paper, that sounds kind of awful, but that's the purpose of a thriller. While Netflix has a long watchlist of movies, there's a particular excitement that comes along with taking on something from the thriller genre. In the line up of films below, we've narrowed down some of Netflix's best current offerings so that the scrolling and the decision doesn't get in the way of movie night. Whether you're looking for something heist-adjacent or a peek into the absolutely demented mind of Yorgos Lanthimos, Netflix has a treasure trove of thrillers to eat up at least a few hours of your Saturday night. Now you just have to decide what food pairs well with the true-life story of a near Ebola outbreak. That's on you.

Once fraught only because your drunkest uncle had a propensity for wearing the most aggressively ugly versions of it, the classically summery button-front has a whole new narrative this year thanks to a bunch of gun-loving, anti-government (and sometimes-racist) turds who are trying to co-opt it as a symbol of the Boogaloo movement, which is, broadly, in favor of a second civil war. Fuck that. Don't let those idiots win. Get a great Hawaiian shirt and wear it with gusto this summer. Wear it to work for anti-racist causes. Wear it to vote for people who support common-sense, life-saving gun regulations. Or wear it just to hang out. I'll be doing the same. Wondering which one? Well, last summer, we sang the praises of a bright-red version from AllSaints, the UK-based label that has, however counterintuitively, been churning out some of the best aloha shirts on the market for a minute now. This summer, Esquire Style Director Jonathan Evans is singing the praises of its slightly more toned-down cousin. Here's why.

What he remembers most vividly is leaving the dining room with his wife and passing through the crowded bar, which happened to be filled with friends of theirs. They ran into Simon, and Yolanda, and David, all of them waiting for tables and basking in that singular metropolitan electricity that made a lot of us want to plant our flags in New York City in the first place. It took he and his wife about 20 minutes to grab their coats at Verōnika because they wanted to catch up with everyone. And Gordinier now realizes that it is this—that feeling of personalities colliding and conspiring in the serendipity of a moment—that makes a restaurant so essential to the hum of a community. It is this that we are all craving. People. People savoring a moment together. We don't need restaurants because we are hungry. We need restaurants because we are lonely.

American Idol alone has given us several Grammy winners, an Emmy winner, an Academy Awards winner, and that one guy who sang "She Bangs." Shows like Survivor and Drag Race have driven conversations about feminism, queerness, and race that scripted television often shies away from. Flavor of Love is responsible for a whole language of memes online. America's most chaotic and bizarre genre will ultimately be looked back on as a case study in how pop culture has evolved with humanity. To take a walk down memory lane, we revisited the best of the best (or worst, depending on how you feel about the genre). These are the best reality shows of all time.
