A period epic from genre master Tsui Hark (Seven Swords), DETECTIVE DEE AND THE MYSTERY OF THE PHANTOM FLAME, is an action-packed, visually breathtaking Sherlock Holmes-style mystery starring some of China’s top acting talent: Andy Lau, Bingbing Li, Carina Lau, and Tony Leung Ka-fai. Nominated for Best Special Effects at the 2011 Asian Film Awards and stunningly choreographed by master Sammo Hung, this intricately plotted whodunit is set in an exquisitely realized steampunk version of ancient China.
On the eve of her coronation as Empress (Carina Lau, 2046), China’s most powerful woman is haunted by a chilling murder mystery: seven men under her command have burst into flames, leaving behind only black ash and skeletal bones. Recognizing this threat to her power, she turns to the infamous Dee Renjie (Andy Lau, Infernal Affairs, House Of Flying Daggers): a man whose unparalleled wisdom is matched only by his martial arts skills. As he battles a series of bizarre dangers, he unveils a chilling truth that places his life, and the future of an entire dynasty, in peril.

I have to say that john Huston’s 1941 ‘The Maltese Falcon’ with Humphrey Bogart is my favorite detective film. That said, I’m looking forward to ‘Detective Dee and The Mystery of The Phantom Flame’.
The Silence of the Lambs
I have two favorites… The Big Sleep and Se7en.
I love the movie The Departed.
My favorite Detective movie is The Fugitive (1993).
Chinatown—atmospheric, good acting, etc. and the ending was a shocker
Tough call here , Id have to say L.A. Confidential – A close second place would be Devil in a Blue Dress . I really wish they would’ve continued the Mosley/Easy Rawlins series
Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys
Dirty Harry and all the sequels
I can watch Chinatown any time.
The Return Of The Pink Panther
Don’t know if its considered a detective movie but The Pink Panther series.
I choose Ace Ventura Pet Detective
I love a good detective flick!
We loved the new Sharlock Holmes film, Game of Shadows. Clue is also a classic.
liked the 1st sherlock holmes movie (robert downy jr)
Chinatown is my favorite
I haven’t seen many detective movies so…Sherlock Holmes, I suppose.
Manhunter – the 1st and the best Hannibal the Cannibal film!!
Dick Tracy – detective film and a musical; what’s not to like!
Would love to win…thanks for the opportunity…Good luck everyone. (My favorite would have to be The Fugitive
Nancy Drew has been my favorite move. As it’s my family’ favorite movie.
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
#1 The Thin Man
#2 Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang!
#3 Who Framed Roger Rabbit 🙂

I think rear window with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly was a great detective story although he was only a wheelchair arm detective he managed to keep it suspenceful.
