Check out our playlist about real life criminals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqTkw6NEoFk&list=PLC6D67F5288DFF107 What's your favorite crime film? What other crime lists would you like to see on the channel?

Prisoners definitely deserved at least honorable mention

The Nice Guys needs a goddamn sequel.

Nightcrawler is easily one of my favorite movies

Drive is a cinematic masterpiece. It's not a regular crime/gangster movie. It has so many layers of deep meaning inside it. And the soundtrack is awesome.

Leonardo is just amazing at anything he does

This is probably the best list of 2021, especially putting NCFOM at number 1 is just damn right!

City of God is the best movie ever! Glad to see it’s getting it’s respect in this list

I can’t believe none of Guy Ritchie’s films are on this list 🤔

Leo is one of the GOATs is what I take from this list

For those who want the list without watching the entire video, it's, note, the list, not my list: #20 The Nice Guys #19 Gone Girl (the film) #18 American Gangster #17 Collateral #16 In Bruges #15 Oldboy (the original 2003 version) #14 Traffic (the 2000 (the year) film) #13 Nightcrawler #12 A History of Violence (the film) #11 Uncut Gems #10 Sicario (the 2015 film) #9 Catch Me If You Can (the film) #8 Drive (the 2011 film) #7 Memories of Murder (the film) #6 The Wolf of Wall Street (the 2013 film) #5 The Departed #4 Zodiac (film) #3 City of God (the 2002 film) #2 The Irishman, also known as (aka) I Heard You Paint Houses HMs (Honourable Mentions): HM1: Ocean's Eleven (2001) HM2: Gangs of New York (the film) HM3: Spotlight (2015) HM4: Baby Driver HM5: The Town (the 2010 film) #1 No Country for Old Men (the film)

Hell Or High Water deserved much mention here. As brilliant and triumphant as No Country is, The Irishman has deconstructed and adds more dimensions to the crime genre by people who have arguably perfected the craft. Other than that, solid list although Spotlight has been associated with crime very, very loosely

20. Eastern Promises 19. Traffic 18. Shot Caller 17. The Gentlemen 16. Joker 15. Gone Baby Gone 14. American Made 13. Parasite 12. Thoroughbreds 11. Chicago 10. City of God 9. Lord of War 8. Kill Bill: Vol. 2 7. The Departed 6. American Hustle 5. John Wick: Chapter 2 4. Catch Me if You Can 3. Sin City 2. Elite Squad: The Enemy Within 1. The Wolf of Wall St.

Good list!

Thanks for including Zodiac!! That’s my favorite movie!! Also, Infernal Affairs(the original) is a lot better than The Departed in my opinion. I saw the departed first and wasn’t a huge fan, but then I saw Infernal Affairs. I thought it was much better.

Collateral is so underrated, movie does not get enough recognition

'The Departed' became one of the best crime drama movies ever made. Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, and Martin Scorsese did a great job on that film.

Just rewatched No country for old men .. its freakin good from start to finish , the ending is kinda confusing .. But still great

The departed is such a great movie I’m glad to see it in the top 5

Even more: The Dark Knight, American Psycho, Gone, Baby, Gone, Public Enemies, Black Mass, A Most Violent Year, Inside Man, Training Day, Four Brothers, Tsotsi, Alpha Dog, Snatch, The Bank Job, Lawless, 21 Jump Street, Cellular, Phone Booth, Running Scared, End of Watch, Prisoners
