( A personal note: Bullitt was based on the novel “Silent Witness.” The author, Robert L. In the end Bullitt discovers who’s really behind the hit, leading to a foot chase through San Francisco International Airport before the final, deadly climax to the movie.
They go after Bullitt himself, leading to the famous car chase that is still one of the best ever filmed. When the witness is assassinated by two killers, Bullitt hides the corpse under a John Doe identity to draw the killers out. Steve McQueen brought his cool demeanor and his driving skills to the role of Frank Bullitt, a San Francisco detective who’s in charge of protecting a witness. The movie that launched a thousand car chases. (I’m also dealing with English-language films so my apologies to those from other countries.) If you have favorites that weren’t mentioned, please feel free to note them in the comments I had others on my original list that didn’t make the cut. Some of these movies you may know, while others may have slipped under the radar. I’ve decided to do a five-part survey of the best modern mysteries. The classic era of mystery movies ended in the 1950s, but in the decades since there have been some wonderful examples of the genre. In tone, the mystery can veer from dramatic to comedic to romantic to horrific. “Mystery” is a very broad genre, with the only unifying thread being that it features a crime, most often murder. I’ve always loved mysteries as well as movies, so the mystery movie – at least, a well-done one – is heaven for me.
