After you watch Murder on the Orient Express, you should watch Strangers on a Train. Not a whodunnit, but a great suspense movie.Whats a good whodunnit movie to watch?
Once Upon a Time in America
My advice is don't watch it. 3 hours and 50 minutes (wtf) and it's not like Godfather where it's lengthy because of these amazing big-budget scenes like the wedding, it's long because they didn't know how to edit properly. I can appreciate the ambitious storytelling and I probably would have loved it if I were watching it in 1984 but it just doesn't hold up over time.
Also, there are like 3 rape scenes where the consequences of two of them don't make any sense:
1st rape scene = statutory by a cop who they blackmail...fair enough.
2nd rape scene = victim becomes the rapist's girlfriend
3rd rape scene = victim names her child after rapist
Leone said that the whole thing being an opium-induced dream of Noodles is a fair interpretation, which is so unnecessary.

Have you seen Brick? It's a stylistic indy flick. The setting is a high school in the late 90's but JGL acts like a private eye from the 1930's. They swing big and do some weird stuff, but it strangely works.
