Great mystery movies to watch now

If you are looking for a great mystery to watch this weekend, why not check out one of these?

Double Jeopardy

The chase is on again for Tommy Lee Jones in 1999's Double Jeopardy, only this time he's on the trail of Ashely Judd. When Judd's character is convicted of her husband's murder only to (*surprise*) find out that he's still alive and responsible for framing her, she does her time and is released fully aware of the fact that—thanks to the law that shares a name with the movie—she can shoot her ex "in the middle of Mardi Gras" and no one can do anything about it.

Memento

It's not uncommon for people to use tattoos as a way to remind them of things they don't want to forget. But 2000's Memento takes that idea one step further with Guy Pearce's character, a man with short-term memory loss who inks his body with clues to his wife's death so that he can be reminded of every detail and track down her killer. The mystery thriller also stars Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano who appeared in The Matrix together just one year earlier.

Clue

One of the best mystery movies of all time is related to one of the best family games of all time. Based on the classic board game that most of us played with our families when we got sick of Monopoly and Battleship, 1985's Clue is the ultimate murder mystery. Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull), Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn), Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan), Mr. Green (Michael McKean), Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd), and Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren) join the butler Wadsworth (Tim Currey) and Yvette the maid (Colleen Camp) in this campy film where viewers can follow the guests as they try to figure out which one of the quirky characters is the killer. Was it Colonel Mustard in the library with a candlestick? We'll never tell!
