14. That's it! thank you and to all of you thank you for the list of other

comedy/murder movies. I finally came in contact with a DVD player. and need to play catchup on movie watching.

15. It's a great movie but...

...be forewarned that it's not really a murder mystery. A murder does take place fairly late in the movie but the movie is more of a character study as well as a comparing and contrasting of the lives of the upper class and the servants.

16. yes - I didn't know what genre it was in- couldn't find it at Amazon

without the title so just picked comedy/murder genre on a chance.

[Dorian Gray]

18. That was my guess, also....

Gosford Park. One of my favorite movies a few years ago. (I saw it in the theater twice and twice on DVD.) It's certainly not for everybody, but it really was a great film.

8. "Murder by Death"?

That's about 25-30 years old. Peter Sellers, Truman Capote, others.

Or "Clue" which is newer with MArtin Mull, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, etc.

[Kikosexy2]

9. Yep..

it's Gosford Park--by Robert Altman.

[Ediacara]

11. Gosford Park came out only 2 years ago didn't it?

It sounds more like Clue to me, which is "several" years old, as is Murder by Death..

[Kikosexy2]

10. Yep..

it's Gosford Park--by Robert Altman.

12. The sketchy description sounds like "Murder by Death"

Peter Falk, Alec Guiness and others. I enjoyed it.

17. Did you see it when it first came out at the theater?

If so, do you remember the short film that proceeded it? It was about a woman getting off on the voice of her tennis ball launcher. I never got the joke at the time, as I was about 12, and no one would explain it to me and my friends. We asked everyone's moms, they all said "You'll get it in a few years". We asked one friend's older sister "Mom would kill me if I told you guys".

They never show the short before the movie on cable. I'm just curious if anyone else remembers it.

13. IMDB info on Gosford Park.

And you can discuss it, review it, etc.

One of the few Altman films I have not seen.
