The wonderful thing about mystery films is that they keep us glued to the screen long enough for us to start looking for solutions on our own. Don't you find yourself wanting to know what will happen next? Despite this, we all like it when the film's ending is impossible to foresee. A good mystery film is like separating the good from the bad people, guessing who's lying and who's speaking the truth, and attempting to solve a mystery/thriller is like solving a mental problem that is both challenging and interesting. In light of this, we've produced a list of the best mystery films ever filmed in Hollywood. Take a look at them!
