Meanwhile, another library-type task is this:

Combine the thriller genre +1 one other established genre, and in your reply, propose an example of same.

For instance:
thriller + noir = Metzger's Dog
thriller + musical = The Singing Detective
thriller + social commentary = The Armageddon Rag

Some combinations are multiples. All three of the above are also mysteries. Two of them are also comedies.

I know a thriller + western (but I won't cite it because its a killer trivia stumper)

You can also cite movies:
thriller + black comedy: "99 and 44/100% Dead"

Have at it.

Thriller + military + spying = POLAR STATION ZEBRA. An American nuclear submarine goes to help a polar research station in the 1960s, gets caught in a spying/treason ring.

Thriller + spying + drama = THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. An American soldier captured during the Korean War is brainwashed and turned into a programmed killer.
