Clue (1985)
Inspired by the iconic board game, this is one of the most beloved murder mystery movies of all time. Clue follows a group of guests at a dinner party who band together to figure out who murdered their host. There’s a total of three different endings — and you’ll get to see all of them in the Prime Video version.
Set in a grand English manor in the 1930s, this murder mystery film has all the elements of a classic “whodunit”: a dinner party, a group of aristocrats and a sudden murder. Fans of Downtown Abbey will love this one, as it was written by the show’s creator Julian Fellowes (who originally planned Downtown Abbey as a spin-off of Gosford Park).
Murder on the Orient Express (1974)
In this classic adaptation of Agatha Christie’s popular murder mystery novel, a detective named Hercule Poirot investigates the murder of an American business tycoon aboard the Orient Express train. The film even earned a total of six Academy Award nominations (and one win!).
Robert Downey Jr. stars in this black comedy crime film described by the director himself as “half romantic comedy, half murder mystery.” The story follows a crook named Harry Lockhart, who gets tangled up in a murderous conspiracy in Hollywood after stumbling into an audition for a mystery film.
