Lar Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I guess 1949's D.O.A. would count. Very noir-ish, excellent film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Talk Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) :thumbsup:Glad to see someone else likes the Gone in Sixty Seconds remake!I like the original but Cage was good' date='so was Angelina!Boy' date='she was hot in them days![/quote'']I have to admit ungrudgingly that Angelina was and still is an attractive woman. But it's in the nature of things that I "prefer" Nicolas Cage. At least I like his play more than his look. I do not know the original but I like the remake very much. I don't buy/have many DVD's but I bought this one as a "Director's Cut" edition. Couldn't belive how many (good) scenes were cut for German TV. @ sreddI am not sure if I misunderstood the question/task for this thread. I thought agent47 was asking for crime films.So I don't understand your "ummm" in case of it was related to my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent 47 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Any film that centers around a crime,such as a gangster movie,a crime-drama,film noir,CAR THEFT FILM,suspense(such as Rear Window),detective drama,even Psycho would qualify!As long as the film centers around a crime,it could be applied to this post.Even snotty english murder mysteries can be applied here!

Frey Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 The Departed Bump.Some of you in the U.S. Might have heard that former Boston mob boss and F.B.I most wanted man James "Whitey" Bulger was arrested today after 16 years on the run.The hit movie "The Departed" was based on him and his "Winter Hill" gang.
