Kenneth Branagh's latest Agatha Christie adaptation, "A Haunting in Venice," will be in theaters in the U.S. on Sept. 15, with a cast including Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh and of course, Kenneth Branagh as bewhiskered detective Hercule Poirot. In this slideshow, A.V. Club has ranked the best Christie movies and TV shows, going back to 1945's "And Then There Were None." Who's your favorite Poirot?
My mom (RIP) used to favor Ustinov in the films. I prefer more Suchet but having watched the Ustinov films I can understand her preference a bit more.
I am intrigued by this new film because it is not one of the usual Christie adaptations (Orient Express, Death on the Nile, And then none...).
Mom used to read Christie in Spanish translation (Oveja Negra editions). I recently started reading some of the novels, again, in part to understand her a bit more. That is another tale.
@bloodravenlib Yes, the new one's trailer makes it look like a horror movie, which is interesting since Christie always had a non-supernatural solution to her crimes!
@dan613 The trailer for this one is very interesting because it looks like a horror movie until right at the end, where it's revealed to be a Poirot film.
