Good Mystery Movies

[Dutchy]

I rated Mindhunters

I thought Malice was quite good. Very Hitchcock like with a god red herring thrown in.

Vertigo by Hitchcock is probably the ultimate mystery movie.

But if you prefer something more modern:

Gone Baby Gone is great.
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo if you haven't seen it - the Swedish version
Gosford Park - one I haven't seen but is on the list. Sounds like a classic murder mystery.
LA Confidential

Another I have shamefully yet to see - Picnic at Hanging Rock, for an Aussie classic mystery.

Arlington Road - 1999, starring Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins is an awesome mystery / thriller, well worth a look.

Marathon Man - 1976, Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier, Roy Schieder.
Some unforgettable scenes in this and great performances all round.

Out Of The Past - 1947, Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, Kirk Douglas.
Absolute classic film noir mystery, thriller. If you liked LA Confidential you should like this. Kirk Douglas is at his best in this, just a pleasure to watch.

Agree with the Hitchcock choices, especially Rear Window and the original 39 Steps. A lot of the old film noir stuff with Bogey and the like are usually good value too like The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep.

The name of the rose.

Good call & great book. One of the best novels ever.

I actually thought that the American version was a better movie tbh. Not that the Swedish was bad but there was extra polish to the American version that made it stand out for me (obviously had a bigger budget). I've watched the Swedish trilogy and enjoyed it, would recommend both versions.

Funny Games.(American version,) very intense.

The Strangers ..very suspenseful & WHY??? keeps popping into your head.
