They have been making tons of these films in the form of thrillers and cop dramas. Stuff like Inside Man, Prisoners, Gone Baby Gone, Gone Girl, Shutter Island, The Prestige, Jack Reacher etc.

They're still making Sherlock Holmes films. Just recently they released Murder on the Orient Express and Knives Out and their sequels are set to release.

Like political pointed out, these generic murder mysteries are a staple of TV. How many poilce procedurals and mystery series are there? I've lost count.

This would constitute a reasonable enough reply, defended by numerous citations which, obliquely and in a non-confrontational manner, bring the OP's premise into valid question.

This, however -

Lol another overreaction from the delusional, ignorant pretentious snobs.

- only makes you sound like a troll. I don't like to scold, but the CFB just isn't that kind of place. Unlike some other boards, it's generally remained a congenial oasis of maturity and mutual respect, even when disagreements arise. As far as I can tell, you haven't done much posting on this board, and lune7000 is also a fairly new user, exhibiting sincere senses of interest and enquiry spurring some truly engaging discussions.

In short, it's a nice place, engendering loyalty and camaraderie. Kinda like to keep it that way. Can we count on you to help do so?

What the OP said is patently wrong. And I replied accordingly.

I've seen way too many of these contrarian posts regarding cinema. Trends in cinema really haven't changed much. Audiences have always enjoyed crowd pleasing movies more than anything else, whether it's the 1950s or the 2000s.
