Chronological order!
Do DePalma’s Hitchcock imitations count? If so, Dressed to Kill (’80) and, I guess, Body Double (’84).
No Way Out (1987) is a great one.
Copycat (1993) was fun. Not great or memorable, but entertaining and intermittently scary.
Malice (1993) isn’t all that great—the script is all over the place—but it’s worth seeing for Alec Baldwin’s wild monologue and Anne Bancroft’s cameo, and for the absolutely nutso twists.
Zero Effect (1998) is more of a comedy-mystery, but it’s a weird little flick that I recommend.
The Spanish Prisoner (1997), pure, brilliant Mamet.
The Game (1997), of course.
For some reason, the critics panned Double Jeopardy (1999), but I loved it. Much more Hitchcockian, both visually (there’s one shot that very specifically recalls Family Plot—an odd Hitchcock to be borrowing from, but welcome nonetheless) and narratively (the “big twist” is given away in the first 10 minutes—the movie’s about suspense, not surprise).
Fracture (2007) is obviously out of the time range, but it very much has the spirit of ’90s thrillers (a spirit I miss).

I retract my above statement. I had no clue there were multiple versions. The American version of The Vanishing had Sir Keifer Sutherland - so it hassss to be better... No way. The guy who plays the baddie in the original film is brilliant. Pees all over Jeff Bridges. Bridges was great in Arlington Road though, which I have just finished watching. That makes two of us who have seen and appreciated Arlington Road. A fine but almost unknown thriller.

Funnily enough I’m currently in the middle of Arlington Road (1999). I recommend it. Very taut thriller. Oh fuck....I am 2/3 done with it and seeing it and will finish it in 35 mins. It's really creepy.
