It doesn’t matter what your real-life job is—everyone becomes a detective the minute there’s a mystery afoot. When presented with a real-world murder mystery, we take to Reddit to collectively pore over every detail we’ve been presented with—and dig up new ones, too. And if you’re doubting that statement at all, just think back to the phenomenons that were Serial, Making a Murderer, and Tiger King. Sometimes it doesn’t even take a hit podcast or viral documentary to rally the internet sleuths.

If you prefer your murder mysteries with lower stakes, however, there’s always the world of fiction to turn to. And murder mysteries have a long, storied history in the realm of fiction, meaning there are plenty of options to choose from and keep your amateur detective brain working in high gear. In film, murder mysteries have taken every conceivable form. There are comedies, like Clue and the aptly titled Netflix hit Murder Mystery. There are dark, twisty, psychologically challenging murder mystery tales, like Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. And there are those movies that strike the kind of tone that makes you feel like you’re living in a classic mystery novel, like Murder on the Orient Express and Knives Out. Whatever your mystery mood is, this list of some of the best murder mystery movies of all time has you covered.
