![]() | Psycho (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $8.49 This may not be a "crime" movie per se, but Hitchcock created the horror genre with a single murder scene.
|
![]() | The Godfather (Coppola Restoration) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $9.67 Some have called it the perfect movie... it might just be.
|
![]() | The Godfather Part II (Coppola Restoration) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $8.30 I like this movie as much as, if not more than, the original. More time elapses, more stories are told, and the final few scenes are pure gold.
|
![]() | Halloween [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.10 I tried not to include serial killers in this list (although murder is clearly a crime), but felt I should include John Carpenter's "Halloween" because it's as important a film as Hitchcock's "Psycho."
|
![]() | Halloween III - Season Of The Witch
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.21 This, along with John Carpenter's "They Live" are two of the best cult classics in existence. Michael Myers isn't in this one, and audiences hated it, so they brought him back for the 4th movie... If you love horror movies or movies with funny villains, and you want a good laugh, this could very well be the movie for you.
|
![]() | Scarface (Widescreen Two-Disc Anniversary Edition)
Buy used from: $3.50 This movie is as sophisticated as a Shakespearean tragedy and as violent as... well... anything. Great performance by Pacino. Tony Montana is my favorite anti-hero.
|
![]() | Lethal Weapon [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $7.44 / Used from: $4.45 "Lethal Weapon" understood the importance of balance between serious drama and good punchlines in buddy-cop movies.
|
![]() | Lethal Weapon 2 [Blu-ray]
Buy used from: $7.00 With a villain that's better than the original, this movie is one of the best sequels ever made (along with "Godfather Part II" "Rush Hour 2" and "T2: Judgment Day").
|
![]() | The Silence of the Lambs [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $6.38 Lector is easily one of cinema's most love/hate villains. There's nothing to not like about this movie.
|
![]() | Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $4.78 Pure testosterone. I like it better than Pulp Fiction. In fact, it's probably my favorite movie.
|
![]() | Pulp Fiction (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $25.41 / Used from: $2.26 Samuel L. Jackson is great in this, and it's obvious that Tarantino accomplished exactly what he wanted to with this movie. It's wild and funny. The scene with Christopher Walken was impeccable.
|
![]() | The Usual Suspects [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $6.50 Who is Keyser Soze? Answer: Possibly the best antagonist of all-time.
|
![]() | Con Air [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $11.04 It's Bruckheimer at his most Bruckheimer... there's an explosion every 5 seconds, lots of dramatic music, and great tough-guy lines like "Put the bunny... back in the box."
|
![]() | Rush Hour (Special Edition)
Buy new: $6.95 / Used from: $1.48 Very very funny.
|
![]() | American Psycho [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $2.26 Immaculately acted, it launched Bale to the stardom he's experiencing today. Even after seeing several of his movies, Bale is still, and will always be, Bateman to me.
|
![]() | Gone in 60 Seconds [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $14.54 / Used from: $8.49 It's a fun movie.
|
![]() | Fight Club (10th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $10.15 I don't think this is one of the best movies ever made (like some people), but it's a good movie... "His name is Robert Paulson. His name is Robert Paulson. His name is Robert Paulson!"
|
![]() | Ocean's Eleven [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $5.61 Great ensemble cast (Clooney, Pitt, Cheadle, Garcia, etc), it's relatively clever and very entertaining.
|
![]() | Rush Hour 2 (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.24 As mentioned in my comment about "Lethal Weapon 2" this sequel might be better than the original.
|
![]() | Batman Begins [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $7.49 After Joel Schumacher almost killed Batman in 1997 ("Batman and Robin"), Nolan resuscitated him with this darker interpretation of him, one that was much needed after the 60s, Tim Burton, and Schumacher.
|
![]() | Kiss Kiss Bang Bang [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.25 This film noir satire helped launch Robert Downey, Jr.'s rise from addiction to leading roles in "Iron Man" and "Sherlock Holmes." He plays a sarcastic narrator who goes from petty criminal to aspiring actor to incidental detective. Very underrated.
|
![]() | V for Vendetta [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $6.45 V's as good a vigilante as Batman, because V's motives are much more morally ambiguous. He is both a political idealist (well, anarchy as equality) and a possibly mentally-unstable criminal hell-bent on revenge.
|
![]() | Hot Fuzz (Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $9.67 "Hot Fuzz" did for action movies (specifically buddy-cop action movies) what "Austin Powers" undeniably did for Bond movies. If you pay close attention to the allusions they make (and later return to), it's a really well-crafted movie.
|
![]() | The Dark Knight (+ BD Live) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.69 A completely different movie than "Batman Begins" possibly because of a bigger budget, "The Dark Knight" takes itself a little too seriously at times, which is truly hilarious, and its over-the-top action scenes are entertaining as well. Combine that with a great performance by Heath Ledger, and you have one of the most re-watchable movies of all-time.
|
![]() | The Departed [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.48 Good setup, great conclusion. Believable characters. Enjoyable drama, but enjoyable comedy as well. DiCaprio can't seem to miss in the last decade; he picks good movies and does a good job with them.
