    Murder on the Orient Express, Stephen Branagh’s version is pretty decent, almost Gosford Park good

    Knives Out, a bit campy and over acted, but also very well assembled

    Casablanca, there are a few murders and it is an upbeat film noir mashup

    North by Northwest, which may be the best murder mystery ever due to great writing, great direction and Cary Grant’s timing

    I thought Fracture had a pretty good twist. It's worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

    The Usual Suspects
    Miller's Crossing

    Most ANY episode of "Grantchester" or "Sherlock!" (BBC)

    Most every episode of "Perry Mason," for that matter!
    - Either you're part of the problem or you're part of the solution or you're just part of the landscape - Sam (Robert DeNiro) in, "Ronin" -

    In the Heat of the Night and Evil under the Sun.
    Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

    If you’re looking for stand alones, the BBC “Cracker” with Robbie Cloltrane are really good.

    For series, Broadchurch is excellent. So is The Killing, and The Fall (but it’s a little less of a who dunnit, and more of a cat and mouse crime drama).

    Out of the Past.

    That said, much as I love classic noir, LA Confidential was amazing.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    I think kiss kiss bang bang is underrated, I rather enjoyed it.

    Clue. Classic, fun whodunnit- I can watch that movie over and over.

    LA Confidential was awesome.

    Murder by death is another just plain fun one that doesn’t get old.

    Who framed roger rabbit is another fun one, ridiculous, but an entertaining watch.

    Presumed innocent was good, so was mystic river.
    We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...

    If looking for a little comedy, The Man Who Knew Too Little was great. Murray was channeling a little Peter Sellers I think.

    And I loved Clue, of course I'm pretty much good to go for anything with Colleen Camp, especially in a french maid outfit.
