Directed by Sidney Lumet, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is the definitive adaptation of Agatha Christie's classic mystery, which finds fastidious detective Hercule Poirot (Albert Finney) investigating the murder of an unsavory millionaire among the passengers of a luxury train.

Only Finney goes to extra length here to play the finicky Poirot, though for some reason Bergman was singled out for an Academy Award.

Though the ending's pretty obvious, even for those who haven't read the book, you can't deny the power of this cast.

The real knockout performance comes from Finney, deservedly nominated for an eccentric turn that's unlike anything else he's ever attempted.
