Chinatown
The best part about being a private detective is you get to sleep with your female clients before you have them arrested for murder.
And while the woman who hires the sleuth in this mystery isn't the criminal, she isn't being truthful either.
Hired to tail her husband, chief engineer of water and power, who she suspects of cheating, private eye Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) does his job in spades.
But when the real Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) shows up at his office, and the body of her husband shows up at the morgue, Gittes finds himself in murder mystery involving L.A.'s most precious commodity of the 1930s: water.
With a renowned script, an infamous director, and an unexpected ending, Chinatown's earned its place at the head of the whodunit genre.
Besides, so long as the suspect is over 6 foot, there should be no trouble finding them in Chinatown. (Green Light)
