Films: thrillers without killers, any suggestions?

[Black pearl]

Can anyone recommend any good thriller movies that do not involve serial killers?
So far all I have found is secret window staring Johnny Depp and I enjoyed it, but even that has a murder or two that spoiled it.
Thanks

Technically, Fatal Attraction qualifies.

If you want to be thrilled- definitely try The Others with Nicole Kidman. If you liked Pirates of the Car(r?)ib(b?)ean (I really don't know how to spell that), you will adore the production values in this movie. Very Hollywood. Also a very well-acted, sophisticated movie. But you've probably already seen it.

Someone once described that Robin Williams movie, What Dreams May Come, as a thriller. You might want to check that.

The Mothman Prophecies? I've never seen it but I don't think it involves a killer.

I've also never seen Flatliners but I also don't think it involves serial killers.

Sleeping with the Enemy - although, it does involve uncomfortable scenes of violence, there is no serial killing in it.

You've probably already seen it, but there's Disney's Watcher in the Woods.

If you don't mind heavy syrup and have liked films critics hate, you might want to give Audrey Rose a try.

If you like action, you might try either Assault on Precinct 13 or Escape from New York.

Are classic films (like 20's to 60's) out of the question? If the answer is no, you must see Portrait of Jennie. I personally also recommend The Day the Earth Stood Still which I remember having a high tension quotient. Then there's Sorry, Wrong Number. Sleuth is another one I highly recommend.

Thanks for those suggestions.
Sleeping with the enemy sounds like it could be good I’ll have to try that.
The others are not for me, they go from killers to ghosts and I don’t watch ghost film(I guess I should have mentioned that) , but thanks for trying .
Your suggestions did lead me to find The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and misery, I’ll have to see what they are like maybe.

I sometimes watch films with overgrown animals/aliens eating people, so if any one knows any good ones please let me know, thanks.

Well, I think you'll find those movies really aren't about killers at all. They feature violence and usually, people are killed in self-defense or in accidents (explosions, etc). Yeah people get killed.

I mean... these are thrillers. The genre is about danger and the possibility of death via exciting situations. You're going to have a darn hard time finding the few thrillers out there where nobody dies.

Black pearl, don't make the mistake of confusing the remakes for the originals of Assault on Precinct 13 and Sleuth. If you watch the remakes, you'll be disappointed.

Sadly, Sleuth is long out of print, and the resellers at Amazon, etc., are taking advantage of that...

If you have a chance to see it, I definitely recommend this one.

As someone else said, look for the original (with Lawrence Olivier), not the remake. Both versions have Michael Caine in them, but in the remake, he is playing Olivier's role. I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard that it doesn't hold a candle to the original.

Black pearl, is it on-screen murders and violence that you dislike, or just the mere mention of a character that commited murder?

If you can watch older stuff, you might try some Hitchcock, like Rear Window, and so on.

A couple of other good ones:
Charade - Great Audrey Hepburn film - look for the Criterion version, not one of the public domain versions.
Hopscotch - You'd think this is from the 60s instead of the 80s, except for the mouth on Ned Beatty, and you can select a "family friendly" audio track. Personally, I think his language detracted from the film as a whole.
Catch Me If You Can - Leo DiCaprio / Tom Hanks fun
