Favorite movie that combines humor and suspense? Ideally with a good twist.

I’m thinking Glass Casa, the Knives Out movies. Any other recs?

Hi OP

I don’t know that one.

An oldie, which is about a marriage and will he bump her off, but is humorous is “The New Leaf” starring Walter Matthau. Look it up and see if it suits.

I like:

Game Night

Gone Girl

A Simple Favor

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

The Shape of Water

Nightmare Alley

See No Evil (but is very violent)

Following this thread for new suggestions…..

Death Becomes Her

Both of the Murder Mystery films with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston

Take Me (is very quirky!)

My immediate thought on reading the title was the first Knives Out. I loved that film.

See How They Run

Hitchcock's The 39 Steps?

So I Married an Axe Murderer
1993

I loved “Ready or Not” - it’s a horror with a definite edge of comedy.

Have you seen Grand Budapest Hotel?

Oh I love So I Married An Axe Murderer. Hardly ever see it mentioned now. HEID!

Does The Big Lebowski count? It's maybe unclassifiable.

Volver. Very rich film, kind of a tense story, but also very funny.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is similar to Knives Out in that it's a murder mystery. Also has Robert Downey Jr being v hot.

Drag Me To Hell is a bright, bold, shockingly funny gross out comedy horror that is really slick and nicely done.

Also following. Haven't heard of half of these, so I'll have some new viewing lined up!

I liked Dead To Me.

Parasite (Korean) is weird and surprising.

I'm not sure if Don't Look Up! meets your brief - and it's very marmite - but I loved it.

Have you seen Pulp Fiction?

To Die For (Nicole Kidman, Joaquin Phoenix)

The Lost Boys. Oldie but goodie.

Just coming back to this as I'm on the last episode of The Residence. It's thoroughly entertaining and I still have no idea whodunnit!

Clue
Murder by Death
Silver Streak

Not films but series, both dark humour and funny, Dead To Me, and Desperate Housewives (all series) Also How To Get Away With Murder.

The Thomas Crown Affair.

Pearce Brosnan version.

I was going to suggest this! It's definitely more of a scary hide and seek film than a clever mystery, but it's also funny.

Housebound currently on bbc iplayer ticks the boxes. Very entertaining.

The Witches of Eastwick
