I love whodunit movies. I have loved them for as long as I can remember. My sister @fuegocassey thinks it's kinda gross especially those that involve blood and gore. And this is funny because I actually hate super horror movies like Final destination. I never watched them all the way to the end. plus they give me nightmares..
I remember when we were young we used to watch Inspector Derrick and loved it. One of the parents at my school told me that she loved the show so much that she named her son Derrick. I told my brother we look for the Derrick movies are re-watch it but he refused. He figures that if we watch it now it wouldn't be as fun now as it was then. Like when I watched re-runs of the old Bond movies on KTN a few months ago and they were hilarious with the corny parts.
I especially enjoy those that involve detectives who are eccentric like Holmes in Elementary and Jane in Mentalist. It makes it more interesting. It doesn't hurt if the writer throw in a little romance like Castle. If the writers throw in a little mystery surrounding the detectives then I'm sold.
I don't know why I like to torture myself though. Like in white clollar I wanted to know what Moss did for a living so bad. It was confusing really. The only reason why I continued watching How I Met Your Mother was because I wanted to know more about Barney and how he made money. Boy did the plot torture me for months. I bet there is a psychologist out there who can probably come up with a reason why I love these movies so much. I just hope they don't turn me into a criminal though just because now I know how to make your death look like an accident. lol

I love whodunnit movies and series too, but after watching sooo many, a lot of them come off as pretty predictable and recycled these days so I tend to be picky. Some REALLY good ones I can recall that are not on your list:
ReplyDeleteCracker, The Shadow Line, True Detective, Bosch, House (a whodunnit for diseases in a hospital setting, same format), Broadchurch, Line of Duty, The Honourable Woman, River, The Bridge (Swedish), The Fall, The Killing.
Start with those, enjoy! :)
You have committed sacrilege by calling 'Final Destination as a superhero movie unless you are referring to death as the superhero!
ReplyDeleteWhite collar burn notice and the original nikita were my favourite! I loved mozzie ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks Will for the recommendations. I'll definitely look for them. You can find 'Women's murder club'. I'm currently watching it and it ain't so bad.
ReplyDelete@Unknown i wrote 'super horror' as in very gruesome. @Marish Mozzie was the bees knees. Did you finally find out where he gets his resources? I gave up after season one.
