Some of the ones I've seen already: 12 Angry Men, Se7en, Memento, The Departed, The Prestige, etc. Loved all of them. What are some other good ones?

Zodiac
The Game (despite it's absurd ending, it's still a great time)
The Third Man
Rear Window
Frenzy
Vertigo
Dial M for Murder
Rope
The Man who Knew Too Much
Hitchcock
Hitchcock
Hitchcock

Thanks! I actually have Rear Window but I've yet to see it. Completely forgot about it.

I'll have to look into the others.

"Clue" from 1985. One of my favorites of the genre although its also a comedy.

Vertigo
Dial M for Murder
Foreign Correspondent
Lifeboat
North by Northwest
Marnie
Repulsion

Thanks for the responses.

Let me be the first to throw out L.A. Confidential.

**jmk** · 04-26-2010, 08:25 AM

Also, The Usual Suspects, Brick, Minority Report, and, of course, The Big Lebowski.

These aren't straight on Hitchcock or anything, but they are mysteries indeed.

I watched Rear Window last night and thought it was great. I think it's the first movie I've seen with Jimmy Stewart...

**jmk** · 04-26-2010, 11:15 AM

Jimmy Stewart is the best.

**E.H. Munro** · 04-26-2010, 11:26 AM

Also, try Hitchcock's Frenzy. It's as shocking today as ever, and with a generous dose of Hitch's black humour. Also, try Zero Effect with Ben Stiller & Bill Pullman, probably the cleverest plagiarism of Sherlock Holmes ever filmed (it's basically A Scandal in Bohemia). As we're on the subject of Holmes, also try The Seven-Percent Solution, to this day the greatest revisionist vision of Holmes. Also, Robbie Coltrane's Cracker serial was pretty good.

Not exactly what you're looking for but the original 'Saw' had one of my favourite ever mystery endings.

I always missed out on this movie. Damn you Russell Crowe!

One of my favorite mystery movies of all-time is Gosford Park. It came out in the early 2000's. If you can get past the different accents, you will love how it unfolds one layer at a time.
