"Love, Love this movie. I love detective series: I used to read them when I was a kid and nowadays I am especially looking forward to crime/detective tv series or movies so when I got to know about this movie I was hyped. I watched it and I laughed so hard on it. It is spot on at so many things and God, they did an amazing job. You will have to give a round of applause to all actors, they were great and especially director for making this movie. Had a great time watching it and I won't like to sa"

Titles That Pop: Best Movie Titles (86 movies items)

"Murder by Death I think this movie is a spoof of the various murder mystery stories that were popularized in novels and cinema. I think it aimed mostly at spoofs of Agatha Christie characters. "

" Watched September 25th - TCM - 1st Viewing "You've tricked and fooled your readers for years, you've tortured us all with surprise endings that made no sense, you've introduced characters in the last five pages that were never in the book before, you've withheld clues and information that made it impossible for us to guess who did it - but now, the tables are turned, millions of angry mystery readers are now getting their revenge - when the world learns I've outsmarted you, they'll be sellin"

Favorite Movies, Genre? what's that? (83 movies items)

"The quintessential murder mystery movie (spoof) with one of the best casts I've ever seen. If you know your classic detective literature (Chandler, Christie, Stout) you will love this movie."
