You've named a lot I would have chosen (The Thin Man, Charlie Chan, for example), but I'll give it a stab, hoping I meet the whodunit criteria and sticking with some of the less famous ones. The Spiral Staircase (1946) The Uninvited (1944) The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) The Cat and the Canary (1939) Lady on a Train (1945) Murder She Said (1962) Spellbound (1945) My Favorite Brunette (1942) But I have to add Laura (1944), just because I love it so much. Beyond this, I think I'm into the other really famous ones. Apologies for bringing this old thread up again, but I recently saw The Spiral Staircase for the first time, Spider, and greatly enjoyed it. The Gothic trappings and set design, as well as Siodmak's appropriately shadow-drenched direction, but what particularly stood out in my mind was Dorothy McGuire's beautifully portrayed characterization, which she achieved without benefit of voice—reminiscent of the silent stars at their best. I know I should have seen it long before, but better late than never, and I did enjoy all of it. Thanks for the recommendation!
