Michael Jackson's Thriller arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. At its heart, Michael Jackson's Thriller understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. A night at the movies turns terrifying when Michael and his date are attacked by zombies. Released at the height of Thriller’s success, the short film redefined the music video, broke racial barriers, and became the first inducted into the U.S. National Film Registry. Michael Jackson and Ola Ray lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1983. What makes Michael Jackson's Thriller hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Michael Jackson's Thriller proves them wrong. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Michael Jackson's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later.
