Agatha Christie

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

Agatha Christie is one of the most prolific writers posthumous in history for murder mysteries. Her influence is seen in many television movies and series on both sides of the pond. So, I’ve watched her creations numerous times plus those that are similar.

First of all, Ms. Christie’s books that were Miss Marple and Poirot are her two prominent characters. Plus, movies like ,”Ten Little Indians,” and, “The House Cracked,” are based on some of her most popular books.

Secondly, “Murder, She Wrote,” starring Angela Lansbury posthumous although have been aired on Tubi and Hallmark based as an American Miss Marple. Christie’s estate gave her permission because of similarities of Marple to Fletcher.

In addition, there’s numerous television and movies that are similar but different enough that don’t require permission from Christie’s estate like, “Father Brown” or, “Sister Boniface” and many others. “My Life is Murder” with Lucy Lawless filmed in New Zealand as a TV series that might fall into the category now.

Truthfully, I started watching Christie’s books made into television series or movies because I was tired of the Hallmark networks movie themes of love and romance. I believe that the former rather than the latter are more realistic.

Interested in learning more about the author and her influence. Please share.

Thank you,
