Download anything by skacky - Endless Rain, Chalice of Souls, Vanishing Point, etc. You won't regret it.

Here are some more suggestions:
The Calendra series (Autumn in Lampfire Hills, Calendra's Cistern, Calendra's Legacy)
The Seventh Crystal
Equilibrium
Finals at the Academy
The Element of Three Forces series (Mysterious Invitation, Ultima Ratio, The Mirror of Return)
Though if I'm being honest, I'd recommend playing all sorts of FMs, even if they aren't listed in this thread. Most FMs out there are fairly mediocre, especially when compared to the big ones like Broken Triad, but they're still enjoyable in their own right. You may even stumble upon some missions that are downright awful, but then you'll appreciate the great ones even more.
Not to mention there are some fun FMs that experiment with the mechanics and the engine in various ways, such as Captain of the Guard, which is basically a tower defense game in the Thief world.

I've heard calendra's sometimes has a time limit?

Calendra's Legacy mission 2 has a time limit to complete the first objective at the beginning of the mission. It's not too harsh.
One more suggestion from me - all missions by R Soul. Especially A Job Well Done. Don't see that one recommended too often.

How long do I have to get into the cathedral?

I don't like time limits, but if you're like me, don't let that deter you from playing CL. Only one small part of the second mission has a time limit, but it's not particularly restrictive. I've never failed to satisfy the time requirement when I was actually trying to (even with a lot of time wasting). The only time I've ever lost due to time was when I intentionally just waited forever to see if the objectives were true to their word. (they were.)
CL has been one of the very best for well over a decade. You def need to check out this masterpiece.

This!
Between These Dark Walls and
Endless Rain are some of the very first FMs I ever played, and the ones I revisit most often.
Good thing you started this thread, Soccorro. I've somehow managed to dodge almost all the classics, and there's lots of great suggestions here. :D
Soccorro on 1/5/2017 at 17:46
You're welcome! :D These Threads should be done on a yearly basis. :)
It is sad though, that the list of new FMs is getting smaller with each year :(

That's true, but on the positive side, the ones that are released are all fairly high quality. You don't see too much "Bestest FM" or "Tower of Jorge" these days.

The only Thief Mission that I give top marks that hasn't been mentioned yet is Unbidden Guest.
