 | Rififi - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $14.48 If you only see one of these films, this is the one, if only for the jewel heist scene.
|
 | Le Samourai - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $16.16 Alain Delon in Le Samourai might be the coolest film character ever.
|
 | Un Flic
Buy used from: $9.99 And Alain Delon in Un Flic is the SECOND coolest film character ever.
|
 | Bob le Flambeur - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $15.35 A lighthearted entry into the genre, using the now-familiar "aging gangster tries to pull off one last job" plot.
|
 | Le Cercle Rouge (The Red Circle) - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $16.49 Alain Delon again, Jean-Pierre Melville again, and another great heist sequence along the lines of Rififi.
|
 | Touchez Pas au Grisbi - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $16.97 Hands off the loot! Here, the aging gangster does pull off one last job, only to be vexed by double-, triple- and quadruple-crosses. Jean Gabin is priceless.
|
 | Casque d'Or - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $15.39 A bit of an anomaly -- a gangster romance period piece, but classic nonetheless.
|
 | Le Trou - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $15.95 Of course, every decent crime DVD collection needs a jail break movie, and this is one of the best ever.
|
 | Pickpocket - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $20.00 Portrait of an anonymous drifter done in an almost-documerntary style.
|
 | Band of Outsiders - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $15.39 Small-time crooks plan an ill-advised heist and take some time here and there to check out the Louvre and break out into a song-and-dance routine. No, I'm not joking. A must-see.
