There were thousands or more than thousands of movies released every decade. Every movie has its own genre including comedy, action, horror, suspense, thriller, romantic, adventure, fantasy, sports, supernatural, drama, mystery and soon. Well, there can never be a final list for something like this, but I can say with some confidence these are some movies which you should not miss it. It was very difficult for me to make best Hollywood murder mystery movies list but somehow, I was able to complete that list. In this list, I will add all the mystery and murder mystery movies also. This list will be updated with time to time. So don’t worry about the updating part. Just check out the list and share your views with us.
The movies which are mentioned below are totally according to my point of view so no offense, please and they are arranged randomly. I hope this will entice you to watch some. Please leave comment or feedback if you think differently and have something in mind which you want me to notice. If you think that I have forgotten some movies which should be in the list, then do let me know. I will immediately add that movie to the list. Your comments or feedback are most welcome!
Note: If you want to find the name of the movie, release year or any other movie of your choice which you want to see or check, then simply press “Ctrl+F” on a keyboard and then type any movie name or year of your choice. It will highlight the name which you want to see.
