    I really like these suspense movies where it takes you until the last minute to figure out who did it...or to solve the puzzle...one of my favorite ones is "The Usual Suspects" - do you know similar movies that you can recommend? Thanks! :)

    There's an old movie called "Witness for the Prosecution" that is like that. It's a FABULOUS movie that you should really check out.

    I can't really think of any movies although you might like some Hitchcock films like "Rear Window" and "North by Northwest".

    It sounds like you might like the old TV series, "Murder, She Wrote" with Angela Lansbury.

    Or the old Scooby-Doo cartoons...:p :D

    Not quite the type of film you mean, but there was a comedy called 'Clue', that was based on the Cluedo board game.

    At the end, you saw about four different ending as to who did it.

    Probably a crappy film, but I enjoyed it!

    Sleuth - with Micheal Caine and Laurence Olivier.

    Deathtrap was a nice re-heat on that.

    Scream <b>1</b>

    The only bad thing about it was that it spwawned several lousy imitations. The first Scream was one of the most entertaining movies I ever saw at the theatre. Scream 2 was okay. Scream 3 was one of the worst movies ever.

    There were actually only three different endings.

    I remember seeing it in the theater back in 1985 or so. Theaters were randomly given one of the three endings. So, if you saw it in the theater, you only got one of the endings (we got the third ending at the theater I saw it in).

    I enjoy that movie, as well. It has some funny moments.
