10 Best Movies Based on Agatha Christie Novels (The Cinemaholic)

"Good film adaptations of Agatha Christie books and plays have popped up every decade or so with varying degrees of success. Lately they've been more of a staple on the small screen with a number of British series focusing on her two key detectives – Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple. For a while in the seventies and early eighties, all-star Christie adaptations every few years were a cinematic staple. Some were good, some not, but they were all very glamorous, they featured great casts, beautiful locations and enough twists to keep you watching. 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. 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." - thecinemaholic.com
