This may sound silly but Does Pixar's Coco count as a Murder mystery Movie?

Thank you!
Thanks mate!
Thank you!
Also, "The Woods"(2020). A brilliant mystery!
Thank you for this. It is very useful to find in the comments
LA Confidential is still one of my favorite Noir films. Every role was perfectly cast, it has nearly a perfect script it's just an absolutely fantastic movie!!
I have many favourite movies. But if i had to pick just one, it would be LA Confidentiel.
Fun Fact: The three endings from the movie "Clue" were all shown one after the other on the VHS cassettes and DVDs. I have the DVD version of the movie. Loved watching it on rainy days.
Finally the perfect category for movies
You should watch the original Girl with the dragon tattoo and the two other movies in that trilogy! It has English subtitles and it's raw. Noomi Rapace is Lisbeth
That whole Nordic Noir genre is worth checking out.
Yes. I saw the original before the Fincher one. It's a shame not more people have seen this or even heard of it. In many ways, the original is better than Fincher's, and that's saying a lot as Fincher's is excellent.
Clue should be #1!
Perfect blend of interesting characters, intriguing drama, and absolute genius comedy. And it has 3 better than the next endings!
This movie was the one my siblings and I would watch 3 times in a row on a day off of school, and now my kids love it just the same… that is a CLASSIC!
Death on the nile (1978). One of my favorites.
Copycat (1995) is such an underrated gem!
Vertigo? The film that sometimes takes over citizen Kane's place? How can you forget it?!!
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is so underrated
How could you miss "Laura"? Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, Clifton Webb and Vincent Price. There is a murder, the detective falls in love with the portrait of the victim, ...
I was thinking "They damn well better have Clue on this list."
Thankfully, they did. And it ranked at #10, at that!
'The Silence of the Lambs' is a masterpiece.
How Usual Suspects isn't on here is a mystery.
Usual Suspects is not a murder mystery. Also, it's overrated af and the story is ridiculous and convoluted.
Other murder mysteries I’d put on the list are:
-Name Of The Rose(1986)
-And Then There Were None(1945 & 2015)
-In The Heat Of The Night(1967)
-Gone Girl(3914)
-Primal Fear(1996)
-psycho(1960)
-Disturbia(2007)
-The Fugitive(1993)
-Where The Crawdads Sing(2022)
-The Usual Suspects(1995)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit will ALWAYS be a classic.
One of my favorite mystery movies❤️!
I only clicked on here to see if Clue was on here and it was, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Both awesome movies
Rear Window watched 3 days ago
Wonderful
I can’t sing enough praises for _Knives Out,_ Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and The Maltese Falcon.
Didn't anyone notice Arnold in the long good bye with yellow undies?
Yes
and Sylvester appeared in another Chandler adaption ie Farewell my lovely with Robert Mitchum.
“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” deserves a spot
My Man!
A funky, modern and very funny tone adds to a good murder mystery on hand with RDJ in lead.
Thanks! I don’t think I’ve heard of this movie.
I’ll have to give it a watch!
@@AryanKumrJh4 Severely underrated movie.
I ❤ Knives out everyone's performance Was Fabulous I hope the Next one brings back Detective Blanc And Marta those two are my favourite Characters
Yes! I’ve been waiting for Knives out 2!!
Blue Velvet really good performances David Lynch made a gem of a film it is one of the finest murder mystery movies I have viewed often
The last of Sheila definitely should have been on this list
THE BIG SLEEP (1946), AND THEN THERE WERE NONE (1945), GREEN FOR DANGER, FOG OVER FRISCO, THE LAST OF SHEILA
Great list (I have some films to add to my growing must-watch film list). I am unsurprised that some directors - David Fincher, Rian Johnson, Robert Altman, John Huston - are referenced more than once.
Great list bro
Wait a minute…
- Primal fear
- psycho
- The Bird with the Crystal Plumage)
- shutter island
- scream
- prisioners

I've seen them all, almost, and damn they were good. Gotta check out Brick and M now.
Bob Hoskins should have won the Oscar for his role in Roger Rabbit… his performance is next level
I’ve seen Brick, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011), Who Framed Roger Rabbit, bits of Gosford Park, Zodiac, Memento, Seven, The Silence Of The Lambs, L.A Confidential, Knives Out, Rear Window and Chinatown.
You also need to include Death on the Nile and A Haunting in Venice.
Scream, Angel Heart, Copycat, Gone Girl, The Ring
If Among Us was a movie, it would be at the top of the list.
this piano 1:14 🔥
No it wouldn't..... it could be a terrible movie
LOVE Knives Out. Golden Onion should be here instead of the original. A murder mystery so GOOD you will watch the story FOUR times 😄
I would have to pick Sherlock Holmes
Excellent choice; especially the Robert Downey Jr. version. 🎉
@@tylergoodman3560 I don't remember if I ever watched that one. Me and my bad memory lmao
@@CandiceVidito32 It's been ages since I last seen it. It's such a good movie
@Jaimie.Simms88 How would you know? The answer: You don't so why don't you leave him alone and go watch some youtube videos
Yeah but which version lol
Blow Out is fantastic with John Lithgow excellent acting
🥈
@@BlackHatCinephile your medals don't count
@Jaimie.Simms88 no it doesn't because it's count as spam
Not even a mention of Sherlock Holmes?!
The girl with the dragon tattoo is awesome and also Kurt wallander saga
You missed "Dial M for Murder" 😮
Why not picking the original Girl with the dragon tattoo? The remake is kinda meh...
I love Clue, Gorkey Park, etc.
Gosford Park was Not a murder mystery in the true sense of the genre - it was a commentary about the British class system before WWII in which a murder just happened to occur.
It's Chinatown. 🎉
🏆🥇
@@BlackHatCinephile spam
@Jaimie.Simms88 a emoji is a example of spam and you do it constantly.
Elliot Gould is terrible- Bogart was much better. Looking at your selections, I do not believe it was selected by a person who really knows their murder mysteries. Charade and Rear Window, Third Man and Gosford Park, Murder on the Orient Express, yes. Clue is good, and fun. However, for many, you seem to select twisted, dark and sick ones, which are not even well acted. Roger Rabbit, though droll, is not in this league. The Silence of the Lambs is excellent, as is M, but neither is really a murder mystery. What about Gaslight, Spellbound, Bunny Lake is Missing, Dead Again, Witness or the Usual Suspects? Evil Under the Sun?
Any top murder mystery list where Knives Out is above Seven is a ridiculous list.
Clue is fine, but Murder by Death is much better, and should have been on the list, also missing are The Thin Man, Dressed to Kill, and I can't believe you didn't have The Last of Sheila on the list! SMH!
the long goodbye should be way higher on the list
The Fincher "Dragon Tattoo" is terrible. The only one to see is the Swedish original (2009). The English language version seems so small, pale, and lightweight compared to Noomi Rapace. and the direction of Niels Arden Oplev. However, I pumped my fist at your #1. Nailed it. Congrats. Not just the best murder mystery but one of the best movies ever make, period. I on board with most of the other choices. Good work.
What about Murder by Death
I was disappointed that Usual Suspects wasn't on the list
Well there should one more on this list , its a classic from the Eighties Becky .And it's called "The Still of the Night " . , or maybe it just a forgotten gem .Which started the great Roy Scheider and the great Meryl Streep , and you can still see on Prime .Cause leaving Prime in about a day .
The invisible guest is a good movie too.
The Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone, Dial M For Murder, And Then There Were None, Exciled: A Law and Order Movie, Alex Cross, Reindeer Games, and other movies should've been on the list. 🎥📽️📽️🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬
What’s the name of the movie with the female on the right on the thumbnail
L.A Confidential
🥉
@@BlackHatCinephile spam bot
Knives Out
Rear Window will scare you in the daytime 😂😂😂
Does The Batman (2022) count as a murder mystery film?
yes I would say so
Is M a mystery movie?
Hello good afternoon ❤❤❤
Could've mentioned "Angel Heart".
Amazing film, but I guess they were trying to stay out of the horror lane since no horror movies are included.
Missed out not having murder mystery with adam sandler and jennifer anniston on here
Another great Hitchcock mystery is Dial M For Murder.
What about scream
You forgot Kiss the Girls.
Knife out?
Where is JFK…😢
Roger Rabbit...damn I should have known better
the girl with the dragon tattoo noomi rapace is better
1:30.. that is arni
Knives Out shouldn’t have been that high. It’s fun, but nowhere near the likes of se7en.
My sister, my daughter
This is half atrocious and misleading list. Several movies on it are real gems I have to admit, The Third Man or Memoirs of a Murder for example, but most of the list not good enough to be top20. In my opinion.
On it is for example stupefying Dragon Tattoo Girl remake instead of the nordic original that punches the viewer 10 times harder than the remake.
Also, where did gems like The Last of Sheila (1973) disappear? The movie distributer didn't pay you enough to put it on the list?
"Clue" is one of the unfunniest comedies ever made.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but Scream should probably be on here
Se7en and silence beaten by knives out? Gtfo
top 10 murder mystery shows?
I thought it was Kramer
You knew what you were doing with that thumbnail 👀
iRobot?
I watched Knives Out very recently and I kinda disagree. I feel like that movie's supposed twist is very easy to see if you pay attention even slightly but also relies on individual actor performances of 3 main characters rather than the actual murder plot. I guess it is passable as a hollywood movie if you wanna see actor performances but as a murder mystery def not.

The Batman should have made the list.
Not really.
@ Yeah really.
If you like dogshit movies, yes.
Controversial take I don’t know but I prefer the remake of Orient express than the one mentioned in this video
If you’re looking for a good mystery movie that’s VERY comedic, watch Murder Mystery and Murder Mystery 2 with Adam Sandler.
I promise you will laugh…especially anything with Adam Sandler 😂!
