11 Movies Like ‘Knives Out’ and ‘Glass Onion’ to Hone Your Detective Skills

Murder mysteries are the best because we get to play along and try to solve whodunit before the fictional sleuths. It’s like a game. What’s even better, and what makes movies like Rian Johnson’s Knives Out and Glass Onion so successful, is an ensemble where everyone is a suspect and a lot of gossipy secrets are revealed over the course of the film. Here are some of the best ensemble murder mysteries if dictionary gentleman detective Benoit Blanc’s latest exploit has you itching to crack another case. Many of the best are adapted from novels. Agatha Christie was one of the most prolific whodunit authors. Many are totally original!

Also, if you’re in the mood for a longer binge, there’s a fun miniseries adaptation of Christie’s Ordeal by Innocence on Amazon Prime Video. There’s also a recent-ish miniseries adaptation of And Then There Were None, a Christie story that clearly inspired Glass Onion—it’s about a group of people who are mysteriously invited to a remote island and picked off one by one. There’s also The Afterparty on Apple TV+, a murdery mystery comedy with a lot of your faces like Ben Schwartz, Tiffany Haddish, Ilana Glazer, Sam Richardson, Ike Barinholtz, and Dave Franco.
