From March 21st to April 19th, Aries season is in full swing!

This fire sign, also known as the sign of the Ram, is characterized by a short temper and vibrant confidence. While they are prone to impulsive aggression, they are also brave, enthusiastic, and deeply passionate.

The sign of Aries loves to be in charge, and they don't like to see their talents wasted or ignored. A prolonged period of inactivity can see them getting antsy and resorting to taking unnecessary risks…

We suggest the best way to tackle these thrill-seeking tendencies is with a good, high-energy film.

From erotic thrillers to revenge flicks, here are the best mystery and thriller movies to watch if you're an Aries!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Directed by David Fincher and based on the 2005 Stieg Larsson book of the same name, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo follows journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) as he investigates the 40-year-old disappearance of a girl from a wealthy family.

Tortured vigilante hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) aids him in his work.

An impatient Aries will love this aggressive, fast-paced thriller. It will speak to their own determination and boldness.

L.A. Confidential

This 1997 neo-noir crime thriller is based on James Ellroy's novel of the same name.

In Los Angeles in the 1950s, corruption runs rampant. Three very different policemen—one who operates by the books, one prone to brutality, and one oozing with sleaze—investigate a series of killings with their own takes on justice.

A hot-tempered Aries will be drawn to the unflinching grit in this film and won't be able to look away from the ways in which these officers try to take charge of the situation.

Bound

In this erotic thriller, Corky (Gina Gershon) a rough around the edges ex-con, concocts a dangerous scheme with her lover, Violet (Jennifer Tilly). They plan to steal millions in mob money and pin the whole thing on Violet's shady boyfriend, Caesar (Joe Pantoliano).

Aries is a sign of passion, so the erotic through-line will speak to their nature. But their fearless confidence will also find a place in this film.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1

In the first half of this Tarantino duology, a former assassin (Uma Thurman) awakens from a four-year coma. Furious and out for vengeance, she starts to hunt down the team of assassins who betrayed her.

Aries will love the physicality of this film, as well as the burning determination and relentless aggression.

Molly's Game

This film is based on a true story. Olympic skier Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain) becomes a target of the FBI after running one of the world's most exclusive and high-stakes poker games.

An Aries can't resist the use of their talents, and will be delighted by this film. It will also speak to their impulsive, risk-taking nature.
