Okay, let’s talk about those Marvel movies that haven’t gotten follow-ups. Right now, there are six of them, though Deadpool and Wolverine would make seven if we’re being strict. But that one’s a bit different – it’s connected to the previous Deadpool films, so it’s not totally a one-off.

These suspenseful thrillers have given iconic actors like Humphrey Bogart, Gene Hackman, and Al Pacino some of their most memorable roles, making the genre a must-see for film fans. However, with so many thrillers being made, great stories can often be overlooked and fail to find an audience. The period between 1970 and 2000 was especially rich with hidden gems, and the films below prove just that.
