Puzzle-type mysteries - maybe Sleuth? Also Spanish film Fermat's Room.

[–] surfercharlie25 13 years ago

Sleuth is probably the most famous of them, Deathtrap is very good, too (good plays, also). The Mousetrap is good. The Sting is another that's a little like it, in terms of the puzzle of the plot and plot twists.

The horror... the horror...

Some good recommendations here already. I'll add Poirot's "ABC Murders".

I second the recommendation of Sleuth (the original.) It's a very twisty puzzle film.

The 1972 Sleuth with Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier is absolutely brilliant. The 2007 remake isn't nearly as good.

'Ten Little Indians' . A book by mystery writer Agatha Cristie, it was made into a film for theaters and tv multiple times. (1945,1965,1974) 'Ten Little Indians' was also remade with the title 'And Then There Were None".

Just for the twists and turns, Body Heat...

A twisty classic that keeps you guessing until the very end is "Witness for the Prosecution."

Breakheart Pass. Has a good cast too. Charles Bronson, Ben Johnson, Richard Crenna, Charles Durning, Ed Lauter and Jill Ireland.

I love to love my Lisa.

Five Dolls for an August Moon (1970) and Nine Guests for a Crime (1977) are Italian films with a similar atmosphere but extra nudity and carnage.😆

There's a tv movie called "Rehearsal for Murder" about a theatre producer bringing suspects back together for a play based on the death of his wife. It's nowhere near as good, but still very entertaining.
