However, for the most part the film is extremely suspenseful and boasts riveting central performances from both Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington. At times rather confusing and a little hard to follow (not least because of the sheer volume of characters who become integral to the plot), this is not always the most accessible of conspiracy theory films. THE PELICAN BRIEF (1993) Murder is one of the prime narrative plots within conspiracy theory films and The Pelican Brief combines this with politics and the legal system. From hilarious costumes (including a sparkly dress that gets caught in a shredder at a Consulate ball!) to rip-roaring dialogue (Of course I know what a pawn is! Its a small shrimp), Jumpin Jack Flash will have you in stitches, whilst also keeping you intrigued by the mystery elements throughout.

Cue a series of hilarious events as Terry attempts to get to the bottom of the conspiracy and assist agent Jack. Whoopi Goldberg brings her usual comedic genius to the screen as Terry Doolittle, a bank worker who finds herself contacted by a British Secret Service agent looking for help escaping from the Soviet Union. JUMPIN JACK FLASH (1986) Ok, so my first entry is not a particularly serious conspiracy, but Jumpin Jack Flash combines copious amounts of comedy with a riveting spy plot and oodles of suspense.
So as we all theorise about The News of the World, sit back and enjoy the ten best conspiracy theory films out there! 10. Its no surprise, therefore, that the film world has picked up on this and produced hoards of films with a conspiracy theory narrative. Conspiracy theories have long been at the forefront of popular culture: from the mysteries surrounding Marilyn Monroe and Princess Dianas deaths to elements of the politics of virtually every regime to have even an ounce of power, we quite simply love them. With the world engrossed by the turmoil of the News of the World newspapers demise amidst a whirlwind of phone-hacking allegations (which Im sure many of you agree was done in the most despicable of manners to people who were thoroughly undeserving of such treatment), I began thinking about the giant conspiracy amongst News International big wigs surrounding their underhand actions.
