Brick is so good.

2024-08-18 01:42:15 +0000 UTCI agree hugely. I was shocked to hear about a U.S. remake so quickly after the original did very well at the box office. And it had a lot of crossover draw, which is unusual for a foreign language film.

2024-08-16 00:49:53 +0000 UTCconsider watching the 2009 Swedish-language version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. maybe it's just because I watched it first, but I thought it was better than the English-language version.

Tyler Foster
2024-08-08 19:16:06 +0000 UTCI definitely thought, of all the films on this poll, that one would be much more competitive than it is.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-08 19:15:52 +0000 UTCMy guess is that it will get watched anyway, it's pretty close.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-08 19:15:33 +0000 UTCThe most common complaint is not exactly *negative* but just that the movies on the polls don't match the genre they're supposed to be about.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-08 19:15:07 +0000 UTCI'm not that disappointed, in the sense that Who Framed Roger Rabbit is still a masterpiece, but I also understand that it's on a lot of channels.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-08 19:14:28 +0000 UTCAgreed. I said it below, but I'm hoping the passion from the commenters will convince them to slip it in the schedule somewhere regardless of the polls, because it is coming in third, and it's also the movie's 50th anniversary.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-08 19:13:42 +0000 UTCFincher's is better imo
Odd Thomas
2024-08-04 15:37:52 +0000 UTCI agree. One of the top spy films for sure. Might take a while for this to win though

2024-08-04 07:59:13 +0000 UTCI wish The Conversation was winning. It's phenomenal!
Michael Buhl
2024-08-04 05:35:29 +0000 UTCThe Conversation is slept on, one of the greats
G P
2024-08-03 19:53:15 +0000 UTCI second both of those. I've never seen a reaction to either of them. Frantic is so underrated.

2024-08-02 16:00:06 +0000 UTCThe next monthly drawing could be the biggest one yet. Feels like everyone's frothing with suggestions ๐
Look out, Arbogast!
2024-08-02 05:54:51 +0000 UTCDoesn't look like "Identity" is doing very well, but you got to be in it to win it, so there goes my vote. Yeah.
FischerMax98
2024-08-02 03:31:50 +0000 UTCI like it too, but much prefer the Swedish original from 2009. But itโs disappointing that WFRR is running so far ahead.
David Wilkins
2024-08-02 01:52:30 +0000 UTCThe Conversation ... Francis Ford Coppola's gem of a whodunit, lead by the iconic Gene Hackman.
ron clint
2024-08-02 01:27:16 +0000 UTCare the comments usually positive or negative?

Jeffrey Miller
2024-08-01 23:26:58 +0000 UTCWould love to see this, but they've never done a documentary that I can remember.
Jeffrey Miller
2024-08-01 23:26:10 +0000 UTCI'm shocked The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is doing so well. I thought I was the only one who liked that movie.
Jeffrey Miller
2024-08-01 23:23:08 +0000 UTCI can already see the youtube comments when you say "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is the winner of our Whodunnit poll...

Odd Thomas
2024-08-01 19:29:24 +0000 UTCAnybody think The Thin Blue Line could be considered a whodunit?
James Rogers
2024-08-01 17:55:34 +0000 UTCOh, it's much, much, better than The Guilty.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-01 15:30:29 +0000 UTCThe Extended Editions were, I believe, created for Swedish television, and each book is broken up into two parts, so it plays like a 6-episode miniseries rather than three movies. Or maybe it's the other way around and this is technically the original format. In any case, I imagine there are clear chapter stops between the parts, possibly with credits.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-01 15:29:46 +0000 UTCThat's a court martial film, not a whodunit.
John Fitzpatrick
2024-08-01 15:07:17 +0000 UTCIt has been a while since I watched them, but I remember watching the original trilogy in one night. However, I cannot recall if it was theatrical or extended, but since I watched them on Netflix I will assume theatrical. Netflix did not often have extended or director cuts back then. I do not think it would matter either way though. I have yet to see a movie completely ruined by a director or extended cut. I have seen a couple that I did not like the extra content, but the movie was still good.

2024-08-01 05:38:11 +0000 UTCAgree - though if Sleuth is in the discussion, then Deathtrap (1982) ought to be there too!
Michael SCH
2024-08-01 05:21:54 +0000 UTCI recommend "No Way Out" with Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman and "Frantic" with Harrison Ford for this type of Poll

PIG
2024-08-01 05:10:09 +0000 UTCI've never heard of it and, now that you guys are recommending it so much, I really have to check it out. I'm assuming it's like The Guilty (2018), but I'll go in spoiler free.
PIG
2024-08-01 05:09:40 +0000 UTCNo Way Out is a fantastic film with Gene Hackman and Kevin Costner!

Andrew Corbyn
2024-08-01 04:25:04 +0000 UTCMany have done same films around same time. I get it all great regardless. Love when you both do movie reacts to more obscure films like Manhunter for example so my choice is Stir of Echos. Underrated imo
Spawncalibur
2024-08-01 04:19:58 +0000 UTCIt's just a matter of time, I think. If they get hyped on exploring Hackman, not to mention the idea of putting a bow on John Cazale's whole body of work, we're likely to see a reaction eventually.
Paul Cox
2024-08-01 04:17:46 +0000 UTCWas hoping French Connection would boost it, but maybe it'll be these comments that convince them that it's one to just watch rather than poll, especially if Dan wants to do Enemy of the State.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-01 04:15:32 +0000 UTCLove Night Moves. https://x.com/tylergilfoster/status/1815631757670256732
Tyler Foster
2024-08-01 04:14:09 +0000 UTCI have not yet seen the originals, but I just rewatched the remake, and not only did I like it back in 2011, I think I liked it even more now. I think this will be when I finally jump into the originals. Only question is, theatrical or extended cut?
Tyler Foster
2024-08-01 04:11:57 +0000 UTCIt would also arguably make Roger Rabbit funnier if they'd seen a few more noir classics, like Double Indemnity and The Big Sleep.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-01 04:09:57 +0000 UTCOnly trouble will be finding a copy. A shame Bristol-Myers-Squibb won't let it go.
Tyler Foster
2024-08-01 04:08:35 +0000 UTCNext one has to include Sleuth (1972)!
Andrew Corbyn
2024-08-01 04:04:11 +0000 UTCWhile I liked the remake, I absolutely love the original trilogy.
TheTerryGene
2024-08-01 03:39:34 +0000 UTCHmmm ... I think more than half of these titles aren't really "whodunnits"? I think "whodunnit" is a specific genre with specific identifiers; the most traditional on the list would be Orient Express, Glass Onion, and Murder by Death. Maybe I'm wrong. Other 'whodunnit' examples would be many of the Agatha Christie adaptations (Death on the Nile, The Mirror Cracked, Evil Under the Sun), Clue, and the Scream / I Know What You Did Last Summer franchises. But I really enjoy many of the other films on the list - The Conversation, Identity (Paranoia Thrillers); The Big Sleep, The Long Goodbye, Roger Rabbit (Film Noir), Brick (mystery), Dragon Tattoo (Thriller), and so on. Hard to vote for which ones but looks like Roger Rabbit is running away with the vote! I personally would vote for The Conversation (as a film masterpiece) but Orient Express as the best of the "whodunnits".
Michael SCH
2024-08-01 03:37:50 +0000 UTCIt's like when Hitchcock wins the noir polls. People always lean into what they know, and a ringer like Roger Rabbit was always going to grab the most votes.
Paul Cox
2024-08-01 03:37:27 +0000 UTCWell, he did find the girl he was hired to find, and return her safely to who hired him. He's just such a mess, he can't see what's really going on.
VivendoBem
2024-08-01 03:34:32 +0000 UTCWho Framed Roger Rabbit is more of a comedy than a mystery.
TheTerryGene
2024-08-01 03:31:40 +0000 UTCYes they did
Smooticus
2024-08-01 03:29:23 +0000 UTCThey did see Maltese Falcon.
Birdie Num Num
2024-08-01 03:28:45 +0000 UTCHi Daniel & Samantha, for future consideration (The Kennel Murder Case) 1933 Murder/Mystery film starring William Powell as Philo Vance. Also the (Thin Man) Comedy/Mystery series of 6 films of 1934-47. The latter stars William Powell & Myrna Loy as Nick & Nora Charles, along with their boisterous little dog called Asta. All enjoyable viewing, IMO. Also a great insight into that period of history.
Long-time Sci-Fi Enthusiast
2024-08-01 03:26:42 +0000 UTCLast of Sheila should be on the list. It inspired Glass Onion. Also Deathtrap, Sleuth, Witness for the Prosecution.
Birdie Num Num
2024-08-01 03:26:08 +0000 UTCI agree that the original is superior, but this might be strategic if they're motivated to move ahead with their David Fincher series.
Paul Cox
2024-08-01 03:22:21 +0000 UTCWhy is everyone watching the remake of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" instead of the original? I loved the original, and I typically hate subtitles since I am a slow reader. I just cannot imagine the American version does it any justice.
Vwlss Nvwls
2024-08-01 03:21:32 +0000 UTCโGirl with the Dragon Tattooโ with Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist felt like it worked better to me. I would say you should watch both versions at some point to compare.
Andy
2024-08-01 03:05:11 +0000 UTCI'm equal parts disappointed and unsurprised. It's a bit like Forrest Gump winning a war poll

Ed R
2024-08-01 02:56:30 +0000 UTC"Frantic" should make this list at some point in the future.
Ed R
2024-08-01 02:55:28 +0000 UTCMurder by Death is hilarious, but it helps if you've seen the old mysteries and noir movies and novels from the 30's, 40's snd 50's The characters are spoofs of Sam Spade, Charlie Chan, Ms Marple, the Thin Man, etc. Still good fun though
Smooticus
