My new wife is a fan of mystery/crime/whodunnit films, but I never have been, so I don't have any in my DVD collection.

I'm keen to expand my horizons to embrace this genre and so facilitate more pleasant evenings snuggling on the sofa movie-watching.

So which films should I be seeking out ?

Firstly... congrats on your recent nuptials!

Here's a few mystery/thriller types that I've enjoyed...

LA Confidential
Infernal Affairs
Heist
The Usual Suspects
Shattered

Jagged Edge is very good

In fact buy her the box set of the Ninties TV series 'Murder One' that'll shut her up, whoops I mean, keep her happy Big Grin

I liked the two David Mamet suspense thrillers House Of Games and The Spanish Prisoner. The Usual Suspects has a nice twist at the end as does the 70s thriller Sleuth with Michael Caine and Lawrence Olivier. I also like the Patrice Leconte French thriller Monieur Hire and Diva is also really good. And released this week on dvd is Robert Bresson's classic crime thriller Pickpocket which I really want to see myself. And Coppola's great film The Conversation with Gene Hackman is always worth watching.

thought Mystic River was graet.The direction, and Tim Robbins's performance were both incredible.
