So close...

[Radu]

@Mitch Mitchell It's been a week. Give us another hint

[Mitch Mitchell]

The "Maltese Falcon" very close guess by Pericolos0 should have been the biggest hint, plus, the bolding of the word Detective was more than enough - but I'll play.

This film is famous for having one of the most intriguing and debated unsolved crimes in it, so much so, it is debated in colleges studying films and movies as a thought exercise. There are people who have made diagrams, spreadsheets and even made it their entire thesis to move through the topic.

Famous movie. Based on a famous book. Written by a famous author. Directed by a famous director. Starring two of the most famous Hollywood actors and actresses, ever.

I'll close by saying it would be an understatement to say it was genre defining, and even "Breaking Bad" writer-director Vince Gilligan used its cinematography in "Breaking Bad", and "Better Call Saul" albeit; in color.

Haven't seen it, but I did the detective work and found out it's The Big Sleep

Congrats!

And yes it goes without saying you need to see it. It drips and oozes quality with every frame.

Guess it's my turn

Can’t  remember this, I’m probably wrong but… Bridge of Spies?

You are very wrong

[Mitch Mitchell]

looks like a tv movie

[Radu]

It's a miniseries

[Mitch Mitchell]

Colditz?

[Radu]

No, but you're onto something

[Mitch Mitchell]

It's Damian Lewis (I think, gotta love that jawline), so...Band of Brothers?

[blackdog]

Yeah thought as well the guy really looked like Damian Lewis, but thought we were doing only movies so scrapped it. Also looked older than that (and don’t remember scenes like that in BoB). Think this should be said when posting.
