….would be my 10, in no order

@general_disarray: No Alfred Hitchkock movies ? No Bourne movies ? No Da Vinci Code ? No Young Sherlock Holmes ? I don't have time right now, but your list is poor.

@jb681131: lol that's harsh. I know Hitchcock is highly rated but I haven't seen his films, only seen Bourne trilogy once need to rewatch, haven't seen the others.

@mazahs117: Se7en is a good shout, I need to watch it again, been a while. What makes you say No Country is a mystery film?

@general_disarray: perhaps it's the whole "cat-and-mouse" aspect of it with the characters. If anything I guess it's more of a suspense/thriller

@mazahs117: ok yeh I see what you're saying. I was thinking of making a thriller list.

You didn't include the 2 movies with the biggest twists ever:

• Usual Suspect - maybe my all time favorite movie
• The Sixth Sens

and what about:

• The Italian Job
• Face\Off
• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - not really a mistery mvoie
• Rope (Hitchkock)
• Rear Window
• The Departed
• Looper
• Night Call - not really a mystery movie
• Kingsman
• Sully
• Return of the Jedi
• Who Frames Roger Rabbit - it's on your list, but it's goooood
• Catch me if you can
• Shutter Island
• Zodiac
• Mistic Rivier
• Minority Report
• Twelve Monkeys - probably my second favorit movie ever

This was another very hard list to compile since Mystery is among my most favorite genres. There were so many I left off being limited to just 10 films, but I am satisfied with what follows;

• North by Northwest (1959)
• The Maltese Falcon (1941)
• The Thin Man (1934)
• Charade (1963)
• The Big Sleep (1946)
• Spellbound (1945)
• Dead Again (1991)
• Se7en (1995)
• Chinatown (1974)
• The Conversation (1974)

As always, in no particular order and links lead to trailers.

@general_disarray:Ahhh, i love a good mystery

best to least

@jb681131: you forgot some...kudos for 12 monkeys though, great movie

1. Fallen (1998)
2. Storm of the Century (1999) *a horror movie, yes, but what Linoge wanted was left a complete mystery till the end
3. Hide and Seek (2005)
4. Conspiracy Theory (1997)
5. Mystic River (2003)
6. SALT (2010)
7. Something Wicked this way Comes (1983)
8. Shutter Island (2010)
9. Suicide Kings (1997)
10. Really any 007 movie cuz espionage & mystery go hand and hand. And Bond is awesome.

Good Choises, but some James Bond movies are pretty bad.

1. Se7en
2. Shutter Island
3. Chinatown
4. The Prestige
5. Who Framed Roager Rabbit
6. Sherlok Holmes:The Hound of the Baskervilles(1939) and Terror By Night(1946)
7. The Girl with the Dragon Tatto(2011)
8. Sherlok Holmes(2009) and a Game of Shadows(2011)
9. Watchmen
10. V for Vendetta

Easily the best mystery story ever written, admittedly this is a 3 part episode series but frankly you have to watch it in one sitting.

1. Rashomon (1950)
2. Psycho (1960)
3. Mulholland Drive (2001)
4. The Prestige (2006)
5. Rear Window (1954)
6. Vertigo (1958)
7. Rebecca (1940)
8. The Wicker Man (1973)
9. The Third Man (1949)
10. Hidden (Caché) (2005)

Films which almost made the list: Spider (2002), Dressed to Kill (1980), The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)

@jb681131: some good shouts in there. I didn't forget Usual Suspects I just haven't seen it. Sixth Sense is a good film but not my to 10.

You all forgot The Usual Suspects... smh
