I got to agree with you on Silence of the Lambs and Seven Creamy. I don't think thriller is a mainstream definition because there are is some merit to the term. However, on the debate of Jaws, I can see it both as a horror and as a thriller. Horror fans want to believe that thriller is just a "classy" term for horror because they want the genre to have more movies, but it's not. Hell, even Gremlins is categorized as horror when I would categorize it as a comedy if anything.
