Looking for a Movie Similar to "Knives Out" (2019)? Here's 40 Movies That May Scratch That Itch.

Since the movie came out 2 years ago, I've seen dozens of posts on this sub asking for similar movie recommendations. And rightfully so, it is a great movie.

The other day I was trying to come up why the movie is so rewatchable, why it's a genre you keep going back to and wanting more of. And I came up with the 6 below characteristics:

• Is Overall Fun
• Is Well Written
• Has a Mystery/Crime
• Has Comedic Moments
• Is Easy to Follow/Digest
• Has an Ensemble Cast

So based on these 6 characteristics, I looked through movies over the last ~30 years that fit the bill. The below list of 40 movies is by no means perfect and by no means is exactly the same type of movie as Knives Out. But overall I think they all provide the same outcome you're looking for when you want to watch a movie like Knives Out.

I broke them down into different subcategories to make it easier to review. Hopefully this helps anyone looking for some movie recommendations. Feel free to include any I missed in the comments. There were plenty of other movies I could've included in the list, but I only included movies I actually enjoyed. If I didn't like the movie, I did not include it.
