As a lifelong movie fan, I remember a time before superhero franchises ruled everything. For about twenty-five years, before studios started chasing only the biggest blockbusters, mid-budget thrillers were the thing. Looking back, so many fantastic thrillers came out during that period that it’s almost impossible to pick just a few. It was really tough to narrow it down to ten that truly defined the era, but each one of these films definitely stands out as a high point in a genre I believe will always have a place in cinema.

After gaining a following with popular comedies like Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy in the 1990s, Kevin Smith took on his most challenging project yet in 1999. This new film skillfully combined his signature observational humor with surprisingly thoughtful themes, creating a unique and often funny mix. That same blend of high and low culture was reflected in the cast, which included both frequent collaborators like Jason Lee and Jason Mewes, and established stars like Chris Rock and Alan Rickman. To play two rebellious angels determined to prove God wrong, Smith cast his friends and fellow actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Season 2 is far from bad – in fact, it still beautifully portrays the West Texas oilfields and features the compelling character of Tommy Norris. However, there are some valid concerns fans have raised. As the most popular show Taylor Sheridan has created since Yellowstone ended, the team needs to address these issues to ensure the show continues to be successful beyond its third season. While the current season can’t be altered, improvements are needed for the show’s future.
