Movies that feel likeSherlock Jr. (1924)
If you loved Sherlock Jr., the closest films we have are One Week (1920), The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972) and The Thin Man (1934). All three share Sherlock Jr.'s witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Estômago: A Gastronomic Story (2008).

If Sherlock Jr. hit the spot, these will too

Buster Keaton working the same nerve twice
The difference: Trades the momentum of Sherlock Jr. for an angle of its own

Witty where it counts, playful underneath
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Common ground: black and white
The difference: Sits closer to crime than Sherlock Jr. does

Buster Keaton directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Leans harder into romance than Sherlock Jr. does


Mystery with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Both lean on play more than on action

Twisty comedy in both cases

Mystery built on wit, twice over

Playful action in both cases

Cut from the same comedy cloth

Twisty mystery, and it commits to that
