8 Most Genius Mystery Movies of All Time, Ranked

Comments

1. Zoewexxo: somehow vertigo is always an outlier in lists like this but that final scene still blows my mind
2. Glitch Talon: I've seen some of these, but what gets me is how the portrayal of trauma and mental health in older films can feel so... quaint
3. Echo Pulse: What's with the obsession over old movies? Give me a good sci-fi mystery any day
4. Noahreyes: always thought Vertigo was overhyped, something not quite clicking for me there
5. 🕊️ Guillaume Flores: nothing's really surprising in Hitchcock anymore after watching some old interviews and seeing how much he just flat out told people everything
6. Fractal Sable: never thought vertigo would make a list like this but i suppose that one's pretty obvious
7. Echo Reaper: somehow vertigo always makes every other movie look lazy
8. Ember Shard: What's the deal with all these obvious influences - like, I get it, Knives Out is a great movie, but did they have to be so obvious?
9. 👾 Noemie: Rian Johnson is really good at getting people to pay attention to the little things, but most of these movies are just showing off their filmmakers' ego
10. Ellislena: there's something about the tension in those old Hitchcock shots that still holds up amazingly well today
11. Theo Grant: I'd expect some variation in a list like that, but nothing on this scale - have they really narrowed it down to eight?
12. Mila: none of these movies has ever left me guessing like a bad mix engineer leaving the low end unattended
13. Ghost Beacon: not sure i buy vertigo being more genius than chinatown though
14. Noel: loving the diverse influences here but vertigo takes up two spots?
15. Rayan: somehow Vertigo made the list without Citizen Kane
16. Aria: i'm baffled by 'Seven' actually being on this list, but i guess that's what makes it a genius mystery movie?
