I've been watching Criminal Minds. Very engaging and quite intense. Some bloody scenes but they don't last long.

Shawshank redemption is an awesome movie!

Minions! Nope. No mystery. No thriller, but LOL-by-yourself funny! (There's history in it, but in a way you're not talking about.) And you have to know my favorite was Tim.

(Tim is in Bob's arm.)

When you run out of your favorite kinds of movies move on to another kind for a while. You might find something different you do like, or... by the time you give up, there are new ones out you do like.

Oh, I just realize this age difference is working for us.

TV series mysteries from before you were born.

Quincy M.E. (I worked for Klugman's cousins.)
Murder She Wrote
Old Agatha Christie movies.
Sherlock Holmes and you can go from the 1930's old B & W movies clear up to modern reinventions like Elementary and Sherlock -- the BBC specials. (I highly recommend the modern versions. Not just mysteries, but true character studies. And the characters are deep but oddly funny.)
Twin Peaks

If you like sci fi in your mysteries (I'm more into scifi), there's Roswell, StarGate (lots of explanations of different mythological gods in that, so it might get you on an Egyptian history/celtic history/Norse myth kick), and Night Stalker is yellow-rag newspaper guy covering stories about creatures of the night. (Not just vamps, but vamp include, I'm sure.)

The following are kind of cheesy detective TV series from the 70's -- Mannix, Streets of San Francisco (the says when Michael Douglas was dreamy, but just a TV star), The original Hawaii 50, and Kojak.

I really wasn't into mysteries or thrillers, but detective shows were as popular in my youth as CSI shows are now, so hard to avoid them. (And, be glad, I did NOT recommend Charlie's Angels. lol)

Still, honestly. Watch Minions if you haven't seen it. That may be up there with ET for an all time favorite now. lol

It was funny, but definitely not a comedy. That movie still haunts me.

To us old farts, this is like finding someone who never heard the joke "What's black and white and read all over?" We're so ingrained in them, it's really cool to find someone who doesn't know them.

Not being a mysteries lover, I'm hoping other old farts can help me. I remember Twin Peaks was a murder mystery that lasted for seasons, but I never watched it. Can anyone else remember other shows like that?
