Film: To Catch a Killer

Not a great thriller by any stretch, but I still enjoyed. Why? Because I enjoy just about any decent crime drama.

Film: Road House

Great storytelling... the absurdness of the opening bar scene of just total mayhem and destruction while Swayze just watches (Yojimbo-like)... totally works in the way pro wrestling works - pure drama / emotion / absurdity - setting up how the bar needs to change. Screenwriting lesson: when an underneath truth is being expressed you can get away with bonkers shit. This is why I hate docudramas generally - they often mask pointlessness behind being a "true" story whereas a film likes Road House hides truths about how to have a spiritual center beneath ridiculous fights.
