As others have mentioned, I think tonally and structurally, the closest movie to Zodiac is All the President's Men.
By the way, Mr Wenders, I loved Wings of Desire.

I'd suggest some more films about real murders such as the great '10 Rillington Place' and 'The Black Pantha'.
For fictional crimes (but with a real-life crime int he background) I'd suggest the three part series 'Red Riding'.
If you liked this you may also like classic films noir such as 'The Maltese Falcon', 'Double Indemnity', 'DOA' or 'The Blue Dahlia' to name a few.

• L.A. Confidential (1997).
• Se7en (another David Fincher film) (1995).
• Copycat (1995) - not a GREAT film, but it is about a fictional serial killer who "copycats" other famous serials. Stars Holly Hunter, Sigourney Weaver, and Dermont Mulroney, who was in Zodiac (2007). It too was filmed in San Francisco, as Zodiac was.
• Dirty Harry (inspired by Zodiac, and featured in the film) (1971).

Silence of the Lambs, but of course everyone has already seen that movie.
For a bit of old school classic watch Hitchcock's Rear Window

One movie that caught me by surprise recently on Netflix was "The Arrival" (1996) with Charlie Sheen. While Sheen isn't everybody's cup of tea, particularly his film comedies for me, this movie's narrative flows rather well and deals with the hyper-paranoia exhibited by those obsessed with Alien/Greys subverting human existence. The big difference may be the reliance on special effects and violent action scenes which is expected in this genre.

As someone already posted, The Town that Dreaded Sundown.

The only movie similar to this is Memories of Murder and imo Fincher plagiarized that movie. Its also much superior to Zodiac.
look above.

Two excellent late sixties British psycho-thrillers that start as police procedurals but get progressively darker are Freddie Francis' 'The Psychopath' (1966), from a script by Robert Bloch, and Gordon Hessler's 'Scream and Scream Again' (1969).

jfk. JFK still has some unsubstantiated evidence just like the zodiac, but alot of it is accurate. Go see it, one of the best 90's movies
