Hungering For More Whodunits Like Knives Out? Check Out These 19 TV Shows and Movies

This might be cheating, since Brick happens to be Johnson's feature directorial debut, but the man clearly has a type! The vastly underrated high-school noir flick stars a young Joseph Gordon Levitt as the slick-mouthed investigator hunting down the truth behind the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend. Despite being set in a modern high school, Brick's old-school detective motifs provide it a level of gravitas that drives the mystery forth and makes the story 10 times more compelling.
