I wish I could watch it over and over again, but you can only watch this movie once.

I was also going to suggest The Departed, but I see you already have it in your list there.

The Maiden Heist with Morgan Freeman. Good twist at the end.

**gregstereo** · #9 (**permalink**) 12-18-2009, 05:44 PM

House of Games

A blackhat classic.

webmastr · #10 (**permalink**) 12-18-2009, 08:06 PM

Anybody mention: SCARFACE

**IKbentim** · #11 (**permalink**) 12-18-2009, 08:57 PM

How can people enjoy inglourious basterds?? its not at all as advertised only the first scene is okay enough. Have you seen training day? thats a good movie

snarky · #12 (**permalink**) 12-18-2009, 08:59 PM

The Good Thief

It's a remake of Bob le Flambeur (which is really slow and drawn out)

waynezz · #13 (**permalink**) 12-18-2009, 09:05 PM

I don't know if this can be considered as a crime movie or not, but if it does, I'd recommend : Catch me if you can

Another one which I think is good : Derailed

Well.. those are what I have in mind right now.

cucr3 · #14 (**permalink**) 12-18-2009, 09:07 PM

My favorites are:
All three Godfathers
Goodfellas
Scarface

Blow
A Bronx Tale

Running Scared is a must see! I watched it last night and it's badass

gonzomcribbinz · #17 (**permalink**) 12-18-2009, 09:21 PM

bourne identity set

rubberband · #24 (**permalink**) 12-19-2009, 12:49 AM

I don't know the name of this movie but I saw it the other night and it was really good. It had Goldberg (the wrestler) in it and he was in prison. Had a lot of action in it and some funny stuff.

It almost reminded me of Shawshank.

djedje70 · #25 (**permalink**) 12-19-2009, 12:53 AM

Lucky Number Slevin

You understand shit at the beginning, but that's where the story is. You understand at the end only.
I thought it was a really clever movie.

mrlvh · #26 (**permalink**) 12-19-2009, 01:33 AM

My all time fav - Scarface.

Check out Jackie Brown by Tarantino

dre7 · #27 (**permalink**) 12-19-2009, 01:47 AM

professional20 · #28 (**permalink**) 12-19-2009, 01:52 AM

The obvious ones:

Not quite so obvious:

A rich seam indeed.

**xplicit** · #35 (**permalink**) 12-29-2009, 02:44 PM

I liked American Gangster

toadmeister · #36 (**permalink**) 12-29-2009, 02:44 PM

Really good movies include :

Crash
Faceoff
Collateral
Boondock Saints
Gran Torino
District 9 ( not a crime movie but still good)

MoreMoneyMoreProblem · #38 (**permalink**) 12-29-2009, 04:08 PM

You definitely need to watch:

Training Day

spaceinvader · #39 (**permalink**) 12-29-2009, 04:33 PM

Catch Me If You Can
Torrent is here

best crime movie of all time, but i'm bias towards fraud, extremely interesting topic!

Yes, Training Day is one of my all time favs ("King Kong 'aint got nothin' on me!"). It was so good I want Alonzo to survive and make it to Vegas in time.

The Usual Suspects (already been named, but worthy of mention again ... probably THE best modern crime drama IMO)
The Wild Bunch (an old school classic)
Unforgiven
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Sugar Hill
Kill Bill Vol. I
No Country For Old Men
The Godfather II

my wife loves the movie "Saving Grace" about a middle aged woman in England who grows cannabis to try to save her home after her husband dies and leaves her with lots of debt.

i thought it was "cute".
