You can believe Elizabeth Taylor and Kim Novak as combative movie stars both looking for a comeback, although believing them as Mary Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth I (the characters they’re playing in the film within the film) may be a bigger stretch. This one just barely makes the list – and it’s here primarily because ‘Goldfinger’ director Guy Hamilton, in his first Christie adaption, does well with his all-star cast. You can watch these best Agatha Christie movies on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime. It’s a lengthy list and not everything is available for viewing, but if you want to immerse yourself in celluloid Christie, these are the top Agatha Christie movies. 1928 saw the first film adaptation of one of Christie’s slightly formulaic but well plotted mysteries and over the next 9 decades there have been about 40 more, plus numerous television productions.
Some were good, some not, but they were all very glamorous, they featured great casts, beautiful locations and enough twists to keep you watching. For a while in the seventies and early eighties, all-star Christie adaptations every few years were a cinematic staple. I am hoping though that the new version will be successful enough to prompt another series of Christie adaptions, much as the original ‘Orient Express’ did.
