Before "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991) there were already ultra-intelligent psychopaths, but Anthony Hopkins's interpretation made them fashionable to the point that Dexter (2006) or Hannibal (2013) are series that glorify them.

Which are your favorites?

Alice Morgan in the first episode of Luther

Culverton Smith in Sherlock: The Lying Detective

Joker in The Dark Knight

John Doe in Seven...

Luc Besson, with Nikita (1990) and Leon (1994), revitalized the look of the Euro crime thriller, giving it a cooler and more stylized feel. What examples of this subgenre can you think of?

Yesterday I was watching the Korean blockbuster Alienoid and I thought it was clearly an Iron Man exploitation. It featured some weird guy in high-tech armor chatting to his sarcastic AI. However, Depp's Mortdecai also feels like a derivative, since it uses Iron Downey's girlfriend and the actor who voices his robot butler. Can you think of any more examples?

I was thinking today about Columbo and all those wonderful episodes where he plays with the killer, while pretending to be silly, until he manages to incriminate him. Give me your top detective episodes. The ones that impressed you.

Films made in what is understood as Southeast Asia:

Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Filipinas, Butan, Birmania...

That they function as an equivalent of European fairy tales.
