These are all the best crime movies I've seen and can really think of right now.
Actually I haven't seen Godfather part 2 yet.
 
Crime movies are the greatest.

Un Flic. Les Diaboliques. In Cold Blood. The Criminal. The Killing. Bande à part. Blood Simple.

Taxi Driver is great, but barely a crime movie.

Also, no Hitchcock?

Voted for Fargo.

Interesting list. Voted for Goodfellas, but could just as easily voted for The Godfather, Fargo, or Reservoir Dogs.

Out of those Taxi Driver.  Also really love Scarface, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Shawshank.

Just watched Fargo for the first time. It was between fargo and Pulp Fiction, because typical gangster movies are just hilarious overplayed and annoying. Went with Fargo.

Maybe more of a "yah yah yah yah etc."?

I also voted for Fargo, most of the rest are gangster movies with bodycount. My all time favourite probably is Vertigo, though.

What?  No Raising Arizona???

Toss in one serious one, that kept me riveted: Seven.

I think I'm having a little thread deja voodoo.  I like Goodfellas because I like seeing Joe Pesci get whacked.  And Godfathers for the historical context/setting in the story.

There are a lot of movies missing (including my avatar *ahem*) but Godfather is the best movie I've ever watched so that's where my vote goes.


Time always wins.

Amazingly, these list is made all of really good movies (the only one I haven't watched is Reservoir dogs). Only one leaves me cold (Fargo), and all the others are at least great in my eyes. Goodfellas and Shawshank Redemption, quite different movies, would tie in for second spot, both amazing masterpieces. But for me all of them succumb to the best pair of movies ever, and my two favorites of all time, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.

Oh if only Robert Duvall Had accepted what they offered him to appear in Part III, it would probably had made it into another masterpiece (the rumoured stoyline that was being planned was quite epic). Alas, Part III is so full of holes that next to the other two it just can't stand.

'Crime Movies'?  Sadly I haven't seen all of these.  The one I really need to see is Taxi Driver terrible isn't it?  there can't be many who haven't seen it.  Anyway, I always see 'Crime Movies' as being about a crime and I can't see Shawshank Redemption as fitting this description, yes a crime or two are involved but its surely more about the loss of freedom? 
 
Anyway, I will throw in two old British classics 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' and 'Lady Killers'.

I'd add. The original Italian Job to this.

Also I don't get Shawshank as being a crime movie. 

I voted Pulp Fiction from this list.

I never really considered Taxi Driver to be a crime movie first and foremost, but it is probably my favourite of the ones here. Really philosophical.

I don't really consider some of these to be crime movies,  but with that said I would go like

Pulp Fiction > Fargo >Shawshank Redemption > Taxi Driver > Reservoir Dogs

The Departed.


From that List- Fargo.


Shawshank isn't really crime to me- probably my fav of all time.
