Say it was “terrible” all day long, but conservatives were legit angry about it. They spent hours on prime time TV and in comments sections ranting and raving and showing their whole asses about it. If anything, it was vital market research that showed how easily manipulated Republicans really are.

I’ll also go to bat for “Foul Play” and “Seems Like Old Times,” though both benefitted from Goldie and the latter had prime Grodin.

I recommend Omen III: The Final Conflict with Sam Neill as Damien. It’s a little slow but he gives a great, chilling performance.

I always used to find Sam Neill very boring, but I have come to appreciate him a little more recently...I wish there were more films where he could use his natural accent, I’ll say for sure Ewan McGregor using his real voice in Pinocchio made a difference, and that boring lump of clay who stars in Avatar also might…

That is a brilliant question. It’s also a question that, to this sociologist’s mind, unlocks the question “why did that orange goon become president?” It’s because people won’t shut up about it. It’s because people take this stuff way too seriously. It’s because places like this give shit like this a platform. To put…

If you’re so tired of talking about it, then why did you create this article?

I recently watched it, and the yellowface is hard to get through. However, it is redeemed a little when Truman Capote’s character berates him for talking that way. “Why can’t you use PRONOUNS and PREPOSITIONS?!?”

I do tend to play it cagey when discussing Sleuth, yes. The better to pique someone’s interest without giving away any more of the plot than necessary.

I generally was OK with the Branagh Orient Express, but I had the same issue with it that I had with the misbegotten remake of Diabolique:

Very pleased to see The Last of Sheila listed here. Just an outstanding film that tends to get overlooked despite being released during most critics’ favorite film era, the early ‘70s. For anyone needing further prodding to watch it, I’ll just mention that one member of its formidable ensemble cast is a young Ian…

Go watch “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” and then come back and do this list all over!

There are some And Then There Were None adaptations that I’d have rather made the list. Namely the 1945 film and the 2015 miniseries.

They’re not “not good,” they’re shit. Anyone not named Branagh should not be recommending them.

My favorite Agatha Christie story is The Murder of Roger Aykroyd, with truly one of the most mind-blowing killer reveals ever. The downside is that the very nature of the twist is impossible to replicate in a visual medium, so we’ll never get a good movie of it (the David Suchet series tried it, which is one of their…

I loved watching murder by death in the early 80's or late 70s on TV (believe it was on ABC Sunday Night movies).

Both of the Branagh Agatha Christie adaptations are....not good. I’m surprised they were included here. Murder on the Orient Express is weak, but Death on the Nile is the worst movie I saw this year. By a mile. It’s a bad movie.

Y0u give a shout out to Neil Simon but not to Anthony Shaffer, who wrote quite a few of the movies you suggest?

My favorite exchange from Murder by Death:

I rewatch those 70s/80s Agatha Christie movies all the time. I happened to rewatch, The Mirror Crack’d, a couple weeks ago. It’s probably the weakest production of the bunch, but the resolve is the most interesting to me. The premise is based on a real story (sans murder) that happen to a popular 40s film star. The…

Sesame Street points out that monsters are fine and good.
