My favorite is the one you haven´t listed:
Murder on the Orient Express (2010)
Then, for me it´s a tie between Murder on the Orient Express 1974, Death on the Nile and Evil Under the Sun.
My favorite book was always Ten Little Indians (or And Then There Were None).

Dwayne Johnson was okay, better than Kellan Lutz!  |

I don't have a favorite movie, but Suchet is my favorite portrayal.

Interesting to see that Death on the Nile ’78 is winning so far, as Murder on the Orient Express ’74 usually wins these polls. Anyway, I’m happy that DotN is winning, as it’s my favorite Agatha Christie-based big-budget film. I always thought that MotOE is grandiose, great-looking (and Finney gives a grand performance)—but rather slow-moving, even boring; it slogs to its conclusion. With that said, miles better than the new Branagh picture, which wastes all the talent and effort in the early scenes in Istanbul at the expense of the scenes actually on the Orient Express. DotN isn’t perfect, but it’s lots of fun, even if Ustinov isn’t half the Poirot Finney was. (He’s still entertaining as a French-accented [yes, I know Poirot’s Belgian] version of his ‘Peter Ustinov’ characterization, though.) The movie’s very well-paced and tells its story well, and the whole thing finds the happy medium between a good mystery and a good movie. Evil Under the Sun is fun as well, but for some reason it seems inconsequential next to the other major Poirot movies. A piece of fluff or a bauble, somehow… But any movie with Diana Rigg, Maggie Smith, Peter Ustinov, James Mason, Jane Birkin—wow! (And I think that, when I first saw the movie as a kid, I got a crush on Miss Birkin, when I saw her the in the following, somewhat spoiler-y scene:  ) |

By the way, apropos of “the 30s ones that the dumbass OP didn’t even mention”—ahem—has anyone actually seen them? They supposedly exist (or at least Lord Edgware Dies ‘34 is supposed to), but I’ve never known anyone, even film historians, to have seen them. Anyone know anything about them? I’m sure they’d be less difficult to see than London After Midnight!  |

Death on the Nile 1978 is my choice  Austin Trevor in the middle as the first movie Hercule Poirot in Alibi 1931, they didn't even care giving him a moustache. Most of those "quota quickies" produced by Julius Hagen at Twickenham seems to have dissapeared, BFI only lists a handfull of the Hagen produced movies, while there should have been hundreds. |
