 | The Stickup
Buy used from: $2.72 One of the most intelligent scripts I've ever heard is the linchpin to this outstanding independent film shot in Canada. James Spader plays a down on his luck cop running from bad times...and ends up the suspect in a robbery. See this wonderful film to see what great things are available under the surface flash of Hollywood glitz.

 | RKO Double Feature:The Falcon's Adventure and Armored Car Robbery
Buy used from: $14.99 I haven't seen "The Falcon's Adventure" but it's a crime "Armored Car Robbery" isn't available on DVD! Gravely voiced Charles McGraw, one of the 1950s most unique actors, stars in this ultra-realistic vision of robbery circa postwar America. Only available in VHS.

 | 7 Times Lucky
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $1.66 One of the most inappropriately named films ever, "7 Times Lucky" is about a bunch of misfit thieves and grifters ripping each other off. It weaves a tale of deceit, dishonor and crime that somehow has a satisfactory moral tale at the end. If you haven't seen Kevin Pollock since "Casino" you are in for quite a shock. Don't miss it!

 | High Roller - The Stu Ungar Story
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.93 This is not strictly a "crime drama" but fans of "Casino" and "The Sopranos" will see familiar faces in this flick about real life card shark Stu Ungar, who broke the bank at poker in Las Vegas so often then invented the World Series of Gambling for him!

 | Citizen X
Buy new: $5.98 / Used from: $2.84 HBO's outstanding film about the Soviet Union's most perverse and successful serial killer is riveting from start to finish.

 | The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.97 More character study than crime drama, this merger of "Pulp Fiction" and "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia" is the most unusual film I've seen in a while. Tommy Lee Jones and Barry Pepper star in this effective drama.
