What is it about the subject of crimes that lends itself so well to cinema? Whatever it is, it certainly makes its mark when it hits the spot. I’m a big lover of the crime movie genre as it’s produced some classics. But which movies of the genre are your favourites?

It would be a big list. Here are a few.
Rififi (1955)
The League of Gentlemen (1960)
La Bonne Anee (1973)
The Outfit (1973)
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973)
Mean Streets (1973)
Goodfellas (1990)
Casino (1995)
Donnie Brasco (1997)
And many more…
Cheers, Pete.

I’ve been re-watching some of the films of Michael Mann as he makes amazing crime films as I’ve also watched some films of Jean-Pierre Melville as there’s a lot that Mann borrows from Melville that makes me appreciate both filmmakers.

It’s a long list of favourites for me too! I’ve always found The Place Beyond the Pines and Pusher hugely underrated.
