101 CRIME FILMS

By: Kenji

Year order. Rather than rounding up all the usual suspects (many modern popular hits +/or Oscar winners really don’t measure up to Noir classics), i’ve gone for some genre-floaters, including a few comedies, but leaving Westerns as a separate genre. This seems to be a French and US speciality.

Suggestions welcome, i expect to make some changes.

Other notables (some popular ones i’m not so keen on, hardly need promoting):

Judex (Feuillade), Dr Mabuse, Little Caesar, Scarface, Detour, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Brighton Rock, They Made me a Fugitive, Stray Dog, The Bad Sleep Well, Psycho, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, La Bete qui Meure, The Red Circle, Get Carter, The French Connection, The Getaway, Battles without Honour and Humanity, Sholay, Night Moves, Taxi Driver, The Castle of Sand, Scarface (De Palma), Blood Simple, Prizzi’s Honor, Something Wild, The Killer (Woo), Grifters, Silence of the Lambs, Reservoir Dogs, Light Sleeper, The Last Seduction, Se7en, The Usual Suspects, Heat, Fargo, Traffic, City of God, Oldboy, The Mission (To), Femme Fatale, The Departed, Crimson Gold, Michael Clayton, The Consequences of Love, Inside Man, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, Dark Knight, No Country for Old Men

Another great list, Kenji. I wonder why I like so many movies about crime.
