| Plz ADD Some Repo for me if You like the Reviews on this Thread when it comes to mystery and thriller movies hollywood stands on top ... i have recently been downloading some gr8 mystery movies searching them from imdb and some of them are really superb ... it is very difficult to mention one name as the best mystery movie of all time ... share ur favourites here with a review of your own or from some valid movie site i would start this thread with my personal favourite SE7EN -> Se7en (1995) Directed by: David Fincher Writer (WGA):Andrew Kevin Walker Starring: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey ![]() Quote:
1)the best thing about this movie is that it will make u think for some while about it after u watch it.. my suggestion -> watch this movie with subtitles on ... otherwise it may become difficult to understand 2)One of the greatest and most twisted films of all time. A perfect demonstration of the darkest corners of the human psyche. 3)A superb first-rate edge of your seat phycological thriller. Grim, stylish, well written and expertly made 4)Incrediably shocking, mind-blowing and utterly unforgettable. A remarkable piece of filmmaking. This will chill your blood till you cant talk. 5) warning - some scenes may be really disturbing this will also help get some good suggestions for mystery movie buffs ...

Rep Power: 2 | rock n rolla has a great ending!! seven pounds,though a serious movie, will be worth every penny for its last 20 mins.the entire movie builds the platform for the climax to explode. and the best of all times for me has to be "the prestige" and "the illusionist".do not see any reviews of these to save yourself from spoilers.the prestige is a must watch for any mystery movie buff!! |

Rep Power: 10 | When you say all time, I got to go with "The Silence of the Lambs". It was released in 1991 and is a classic. Much copied and spoofed It was a fantastic movie with some great performances. Anthony Hopkins is Dr. Hannibal Lecter who is a total psychopath who is in prison for cutting and eating up his patients. Jodie Foster is Clarice Starling a young FBI agent on the tracks of another serial killer called buffalo Bill who kills his victims, skins them and makes clothes out of their skins. Clarice goes to Lecter in prison and talks to him to find out clues about the serial killer who has kidnapped a senators daughter now. The interaction between Lecter and Clarice is very interesting. In 1992 it won 5 Oscars. Best film, Best actor, Best actress, Best DIrector and Best Screenplay. So my personal favourite and vote for the best mystery movie of all time is "The Silence of the Lambs" -F |

Rep Power: 2 | the prestige and the illusionist ARE two of the greatest all time mystery movies. i recommend it to everybody who has not seen it. the prestige: its about two magicians.initially both are friends,but the mistake of one leads to the death of the others wife while performing a trick.this makes them bitter rivals.both could kill to know the secrets of each others tricks and outshine each other. hugh jackman finds a way by which he can perfom the greates trick ever known to mankind.just when he thinks he has got his revenge....[see the movie for the climax] te illusionist: a magician falls for the duchess of his town.the duchess is killed by her fiance,who would be the prince.but after her death,the magician can calll her spirit back by magic and make he talk and tell about her death.the would-be prince has this magician arrested and .....[see the movie for the rest] |

Rep Power: 10 | I'll check out those two movies (prestige and illusionist). I think we need to define what this thread means by mystery movie. I gave my suggestion based on the interpretation of a psycholigical thriller. If it is something that is like a puzzle and the climax is a total surprize and twist then I have a few suggestions. Sixth sense The Usual Suspects. Planet of the Apes. etc. -F |

Rep Power: 1 | Hannibal Rising was crap...avoid it. For me, Saw I was one of the better mystery movies of recent times. It was really offbeat & totally unexpected. Saw IV onwards, the series has become crap. Among the old ones, Rear Window is really good. It was remade a few years back as Disturbia. Among Foreign Language in recent movies, The Orphanage was brilliant. |

| Platinum Member | Hello all, There should be distinction made between Horror and Mystery. Many (but not all) Horror movies will have some Mystery in it and vice versa. But it is easy to classify the movie as Horror or Mystery. For example, Rear Window has some horror. So does Dial M for Murder. But both are mystery movies in my humble opinion (people can differ on this). On the other hand Psycho is a horror movie. Silence of the Lambs, IMHO, is a horror movie. And saurav, (
