I cannot believe August is over and we are entering the fall months. Where does that time go? Speaking of mysteries, August is Mystery Month. Who doesn’t love a good mystery? Here are the 2023 Mystery Month selections.
I highly recommend all of these movies, even Unbreakable. The reason I say that is M. Night Shyamalan films are really hit-and-miss. The list of his movies that I enjoy is pretty small. It essentially consists of The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and The Village and that’s about it. Signs is really when it all started.
Memento, The Game, and The Score are great films. They will have you guessing to the very end. By the way, The Score is Marlon Brando’s final film role.
The Usual Suspects and Seven are two excellent performances by Kevin Spacey and they share a unique ending. Kevin Spacey is the villain and the villain wins. In fact, The Usual Suspects is considered among the top 10 greatest mystery films.
Bonus and Special Event Movies
There is a nerd holiday/special event movie on August 29th. It is Judgement Day. On this day, in my opinion, you can watch either Terminator or Terminator 2. Personally, I would go for the latter since the official title is Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Unfortunately, I completely missed this day and I did not watch either film.
There was no bonus movie this year.
What are some of your favorite mystery films?
“The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.”
