The Score is a good example, with Bobby De'Niro/Ed Norton. it's not violence-based but the thrill element is there, which is essential for the genre.

Registered 8 years agoThe Sting is my most favouritest film ever. And it terrifies me that some fuckface will eventually remake it, probably starring Shia LeBoef and Colin Farrell. -

Love Matchstick Men. And talking of grifter movies, The Grifters is also awesome. For a true crime story Owning Mahoney with Phillip Seymour Hoffman is absolutely great, manages to combine dreary ang gripping all at once.
Oceans Eleven, Matchstick men, Leon.
Edit- It goes without saying The Sting is one of the best films of all time in any genre.

Also from the southern hemisphere, Stander was pretty good, and very stylish.
A recent good one you might not have seen is Animal Kingdom. It's Australian about a young lad trying to survive in a criminal family. Sort of in the category. -

Just as well you didn't say it was his first line in the film, cause there may well be a thread somewhere on the internet that may well have a lengthy debate that is is not and is not the best one liner ever.

Don't know what website that is though. -
