The 10th place in the 'Detective Conan' movie popularity ranking: 'Crimson-Love Letter' 82.7 points. Released in 2021, 'Crimson-Love Letter' is set against the backdrop of a world-class sports event and a high-speed vacuum superconducting train.

The film is directed by Tomoka Nagaoka, with the theme song 'Eternal Alibi' performed by Tokyo Jihen. Viewers generally believe that the biggest highlight of this film is the appearance of the entire Aoi family, with each character having their own mission and space to perform. Someone called it 'the culmination of the Aoi family' and said that Masumi Sera is particularly cute in the sunset. Some fans also noticed that Shoichi Aoi, Hidehiko Hattori, Masumi Sera, and Mary all showed a cool side, and couldn't help but comment: 'What's going on, how can everyone be so cool?' However, some viewers also thought that the screen time of some non-core characters was a bit too much, slightly diverting the focus from the Aoi family's main storyline.

The 9th place in the 'Detective Conan' movie popularity ranking: 'Crossroad in the Labyrinth' 82.7 points. Released in 2003, 'Crossroad in the Labyrinth' is set mainly in Kyoto, with consecutive murders occurring in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. The victims are all members of the theft group 'Genji Hotaru'. Conan and Heiji Hattori jointly investigate the case, and in the process, they also uncover a mysterious girl that Heiji met in his childhood, as well as his emotional memories with Kasuga Ando. The film incorporates Kyoto streetscapes, nursery rhymes, history, and sword elements, with the theme song 'Time after time ~ On the streets where petals are falling ~' performed by Mai Kuraki. Supporters believe that the music, Kyoto atmosphere, and Heiji Hattori's character qualities in this film are very well matched. The famous Kyoto street nursery rhymes in the film also leave a deep impression. Viewers who like Heiji and Ando also said that the film allows people to see the origin of their feelings again, especially after Ando sings, Heiji finally solves the memory from many years ago, and the emotional depiction is very touching. However, some netizens also expressed different opinions, believing that the motive for the case is weak, and the pace in the middle part is slightly flat, even directly stating that the work is 'overrated', but still affirmed the drawing, Kyoto atmosphere, and background music performance.

The 8th place in the 'Detective Conan' movie popularity ranking: 'The Raven Chaser' 83.4 points. Released in 2000, 'The Raven Chaser' begins with a series of police shootings. After witnessing a murder, Ran Mouri is stimulated and loses her memory, also becoming the target of the killer's pursuit. While investigating multiple suspects, Conan also protects Ran, who has forgotten her relationship with Shinichi. The film combines police suspense, serial killings, memory loss, and the Shinichi-Ran romantic line, and is regarded by many old fans as a classic early movie version. What netizens mention the most is still Conan's classic confession to Ran: 'Because I like you... on this earth, I like you more than anyone else.' Someone said that this scene made them fall in love with Conan again, and also noticed that this sentence echoes the lines when Goro said to Yui. Another viewer praised this film as having 'classic mystery suspense plus romantic comedy', with many suspects, and it is still difficult to determine the identity of the criminal until the end. The police roles, the family feelings of Goro and Yui, and the true feelings of Ai Haibara towards Conan all make the work more complete.

The story takes place in the newly completed twin towers of Tama City, with related personnel being killed one after another, and members of the Black Organization such as Bourbon and Vodka also quietly appearing.

Netizens especially affirmed the sound effects and theater viewing experience of the film. Someone said that the action scenes and respect for the original manga are impressive, and the 'memories' and 'sadness' left by the characters after losing their loved ones are also very touching. Another viewer believed that this film combines the elements of mystery, action, and love more naturally than previous works, making it easy to watch overall, but if you only follow the movie version and have not come into contact with the original manga, some content may be difficult to understand. The performance of the Nagano Prefectural Police team also received a lot of praise, with a fan excitedly writing: 'After watching it, everyone will fall in love with the Nagano Prefectural Police team and Goro, because I have fallen in love.'

The work is directed by Tomoka Nagaoka, with the script by Takahiko Morioka, and the theme song 'Love and Love' performed by aiko. Viewers describe this film as having a tight pace, a large amount of information, and character actions and changes in the situation that are difficult to predict. Someone said that they originally only went to the cinema to avoid seeing the plot related to Kaito Kid first, but did not expect the main storyline of the treasure hunt to be so exciting, and praised the balance of danger, humor, martial arts, and supporting roles. There are also viewers who believe that in recent years, Conan movies have been more inclined towards action and popular characters, and this film has brought freshness after adding historical elements, but the puzzle content is more difficult, 'watching once did not fully understand, even wanted to watch again'. Fans who like Nakamori Akiko also said that the cuteness of the characters and the plot related to Hijiri Soejima are the highlights of the viewing.

In addition to describing the wedding crisis of Takashi and Miwa, it also brings out the friendship between Kogoro Mouri, Shinpei Takagi, Kenji Hagiwara, Kohei Ida, and Kei Jyotoku through the explosion case. Viewers believe that this film focuses more on the story and character emotions, with a relatively restrained proportion of mystery and action, but the overall structure is quite complete. Someone said that although the identity of the criminal is relatively easy to guess, there are not many superhuman-style action scenes of Kogoro, but the way the characters appear and the emotional depiction are very outstanding, 'the completion degree is very high, personally it is the first in history'. Another long-term viewer believed that the story of the Police School 5-person group itself is very attractive, and the action scenes in the middle and later parts also have both speed and tension, and even someone wanted to go back and revisit 'The Vibrating Police Headquarters' after watching it.
