The Hunt for Red October (1990) |
It is a thriller in some sequences, action in others, but it depends on personal taste, how many thrills you believe a movie should have in order to be considered a thriller - Screen It!

The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning (2008) |
Should Disney continue with other straight-to-DVD sequels or prequels like this one, "Bambi II"....needs to be required viewing. A close relationship between characters, as with Bambi and his father, works. An insufferable Flounder does not. - Film Threat
