Hey, I got one right!
Trying to think of the title of a film, I watched it sometime between 2003-2005, but it could have been made earlier than that. As I remember it, the plot revolves around two teenagers who conspire to commit the perfect murder, just because they can. They study the methods police use to analyse crime scenes, and obtain some of the plastic suits forensics experts wear to stop them contaminating the crime scene. Then they strangle a woman, try to leave nothing forensics can trace back to them at the scene, plant evidence to implicate the janitor at their school (for example they leave a hair from a baboon on/near the victim's body, knowing that the janitor keeps a pet baboon in his garage) and then they kill the janitor and make it look like a suicide. The plan fails because one of them vomited at the crime scene and forgot about it due to stress, and the police eventually figure out which one of them killed her because the one who didn't always wore a ring, which would have left a mark on the victim's throat when they strangled her.
