Good Mystery Movies

[Misanthrope]

After reading about the Tamam Shud case on Wikipedia, I've got a hankering for a good mystery flick. It can be supernatural or grounded in reality, but something that has a good amount of suspense and mystery to it would be awesome.

Watching The Parralax View tonight, so we'll see how we go.

Anybody else got any good recommendations?

Not a movie but check out True Detective, the second episode is due to air tomorrow.

I also read that wiki article tonight and I'm seeking the same thing.

I quite liked the first series of The Killing, but I think they jumped the shark by trying to extend it beyond the realm of the series that inspired it.

I've heard good things about The Bridge too, but have yet to see it.

Hmmm, mystery films are a tough one.
Hitchcock ones are usually the best. Rear Window, Psycho, North by Northwest, Vertigo...
Other good ones are The Usual Suspects, Se7en, Memento, The Prestige, Chinatown, 12 Monkeys, Shutter Island, Mystic River, The Wrong Man and Zodiac.
Sherlock's episodes are pretty much movies as well.

The Prestige is one of my favorite movies but you've probably seen it

 

[The Eagle]

Bone collector but you'd have seen it

I always found the Scream films to be good mysteries (as well as thriller).
They don't show you the identity of the killer(s?) until the end and drop various (usually misleading) clues throughout the movie.

Rear Window (The original)
North by Northwest
The Green Mile
Primal Fear
Charade

Seen both, but haven't seen The Bone Collector in quite a while. Might be due a re-watch.

Have seen the second two. Never seen a Hitchcock film Have 'em all on HDD though.

Memento was a good one.

What a good spot to be in.

There is your answer. Rear Window.

I liked Shutter Island

Fracture is a very underated movie

 

[bileduct]

Bound, the first film by the Wachowski siblings.

Actually this is more a crime thriller.. Not really a mystery. But plenty of suspense.

 

[Bastard Squad]

The name of the rose.

Season 3 of the Killing was great even though it got canceled but I think Netflix has picked it up for a 4th.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

 

[Munky]

Not a movie but the Jonathan Creek episodes from the late 90s were great.

Incredibly clever and the clues were all in front of you and didn't require unknown factors to solve. More of a how dunnit than a who dunnit.

Later series went off the boil and introduced factors in the solution that weren't revealed to the audience.

Prisoners was probably my favourite from the last year or two.

Prisoners was probably my favourite from the last year or two.

Some really good performances but felt the movie just fell flat on itself.
