I'm definitely going to rent it before I go see the new one as I think I'm just remembering the preview I saw for it. I definitely know the name though.

I'm not going to click because I don't want to accidentally read any spoilers. I'll find out for myself if I like it or not soon enough since I'm going to see it tonight.

It's a popular story. There have been a half dozen productions.

I do,.. it's just that I didn't read that one and I don't read an awful lot,.. unlike you at least I can read though, I just choose not to most of the time. Major difference.

I just came back from the theaters not too long ago and other than the fact that it dragged out in the beginning it was actually pretty good but rather predictable to some extent. At least for me.

Hercule Poirot (UK: /ˈɛərkjuːl ˈpwɑːroʊ/, US: /hɜːrˈkjuːl pwɑːˈroʊ/[2]) is a fictional Belgian detective created by British writer Agatha Christie. Poirot is one of Christie's most famous and long-running characters, appearing in 33 novels, two plays (Black Coffee and Alibi), and more than 50 short stories published between 1920 and 1975.It's a popular story. There have been a half dozen productions.
Poirot has been portrayed on radio, in film and on television by various actors, including Austin Trevor, John Moffatt, Albert Finney, Peter Ustinov, Ian Holm, Tony Randall, Alfred Molina, Orson Welles, David Suchet, Kenneth Branagh, and John Malkovich.
...
David Suchet
David Suchet starred as Poirot in the ITV series Agatha Christie's Poirot from 1989 until June 2013, when he announced that he was bidding farewell to the role. "No one could've guessed then that the series would span a quarter-century or that the classically trained Suchet would complete the entire catalogue of whodunits featuring the eccentric Belgian investigator, including 33 novels and dozens of short stories."[62] His final appearance was in an adaptation of Curtain: Poirot's Last Case, aired on 13 November 2013.The writers of the "Binge!" article of Entertainment Weekly Issue #1343–44 (26 December 2014 – 3 January 2015) picked Suchet as "Best Poirot" in the "Hercule Poirot & Miss Marple" timeline.[63]

Suchet does one of the best performances (IMO) and that series is available on DVD.

Poirot (also known as Agatha Christie's Poirot) is a British mystery drama television programme that aired on ITV from 8 January 1989 to 13 November 2013. David Suchet starred as the eponymous detective, Agatha Christie's fictional Hercule Poirot. Initially produced by LWT, the series was later produced by ITV Studios. The series also aired on VisionTV in Canada and on PBS and A&E in the United States.
The programme ran for 13 series and 70 episodes in total; each episode was adapted from a novel or short story by Christie that featured Poirot, and consequently in each episode Poirot is both the main detective in charge of the investigation of a crime (usually murder) and the protagonist who is at the centre of most of the episode's action. At the programme's conclusion, which finished with "Curtain: Poirot's Last Case" (based on the 1975 novel Curtain, the final Poirot novel),[1] every major literary work by Christie that featured the title character had been adapted.[2]

I just saw Murder On The Orient Express last night (even though I watched both movies in the wrong order, but there was a library holdup) and this might sound strange, but even though I liked them both, I sort of liked Death On The Nile better. Just my own opinion anyways.
