Devotees of suspense, thrillers, whodunits, and horror films will no doubt have their own solutions to such a puzzle. Stacker compiled data on all mystery movies to come up with a Stacker score—a weighted index split evenly between IMDb and Metacritic scores. To qualify, the film had to be listed as a mystery on IMDb, have a Metascore, and have at least 2,500 votes. Ties were broken by Metascore, and further ties were broken by IMDb user rating. Every movie on the list has been considered according to the history and development of mystery films. Some of the best are based on true crime, like “Zodiac,” about a killer who terrorized Northern California in the late 1960s and was never found. “Sicario” is based on the real-life U.S.-led war on drugs on the United States-Mexico border, and “Reversal of Fortune” draws from the story of Claus von Bulow, accused of trying to kill his socialite wife, Sunny. Some are entirely unrealistic and futuristic, like the “The Wailing” or “Bacurau,” about a Brazilian village that starts disappearing from maps. The future is portrayed as horribly frightening and uninviting in such mysteries as “Ghost in the Shell” and “Minority Report.” Animation breeds its own hits, like “Zootopia,” Japanese science fiction anime like “Paprika,” or the steampunk setting of “April and the Extraordinary World.” Film noir holds its own with such favorites as “The Postman Always Rings Twice” and “Double Indemnity.” The 21st century shows its strength at the back of the list, but only manages to squeeze four films into the top 25 among the greats. Not surprisingly, Alfred Hitchcock holds the most claim to great movie mysteries, with far and away more favorites on the list than any other director, with “Rebecca,” “Suspicion,” “The Birds,” “The 39 Steps,” “North by Northwest,” “Psycho,” “Vertigo,” and “Rear Window.” But many of the best mysteries simply tell a great story, filled with unexpected twists and clever surprises that make moviegoers want to watch them again and again. That’s why movies like “The Usual Suspects,” “Mystic River,” “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “The Fugitive,” “The Lives of Others,” “Chinatown,” and “Apocalypse Now” are consistent favorites.

Well, when it comes to biblical names, the answer is: plenty. Names from the Bible have been popular as long as the Good Book has existed, and many have grown steadily in usage in recent years. A few biblical characters made names for themselves performing miracles, like Aaron, who transformed his walking staff into a serpent and showed that he could bring on plagues of blood, frogs, and lice. Isaiah predicted the virgin birth of Christ, and Gabriel was the archangel who told the Virgin Mary the news of the Annunciation. Elijah performed miracles and upon his death was taken to heaven in a horse-drawn chariot of fire. Some of the most intriguing namesakes are the stars of stories told generation after generation. Jonah was swallowed by a whale and sat in its belly for three days before he was hurled onto dry land. Delilah cut off her strong lover Samson’s hair, rendering him powerless. Joseph was given a brightly colored coat by his father, making his brothers so jealous that they sold him into slavery and faked his death. Daniel was thrown into a den of lions, who did not eat him alive because an angel sent by God intervened. Some names were popular in the Middle Ages, adopted by royalty and powerful popes. Others fell into disuse for centuries before they were brought back. Many have found their way into popular culture, as in the hit song “Hey Jude,” the classic novel “Silas Marner,” and the unstoppable Princess Leia of “Star Wars.” To determine the most popular biblical baby names, Stacker consulted the name origin site Behind the Name and theSocial Security Administration’s baby names database. We ranked the top 50 names from Behind the Name’s Biblical Names origins list of 564 names, based on how many babies had been given these names in 2019.
