Top 10 Movie Mysteries of All Time | A CineFix Movie List

Nothing sits at the center of a stressful cinematic venn diagram quite like a good mystery. While a good bit of mystery is never unwelcome, we here at CineFix like to think of a good dose of intrigue as an ingredient in another genre’s cinematic stew. It’s a sci fi film with an added air of mystery, not a mystery film with sci fi trappings. That might be splitting too many hairs though, which is a mystery we’ll have to solve for ourselves one of these days, BUT without further adieu, from building tension to shocking twists and everything in between, it’s time to take a look at some of the best movie mysteries of all time.
