Audience Participation Day: Crime Movie Edition.

[theweaselking]

I want to watch a good crime/heist/mob movie. I'd rather more drama than suspense or comedy - Donnie Brasco more than The Drop or Ocean's Eleven or Crime Spree, that kind of thing - and the catch is, I want it to be a movie either that I haven't seen before, or that I haven't seen in so long that I've forgotten it.

So let's start by disqualifying, right off the bat, any Godfather movie, Donnie Brasco, Goodfellas, The Usual Suspects. I want movies JUST LIKE THOSE, that I haven't already seen.

What's your favourite *moderately obscure* (or blazingly obvious and I've just missed it) mob movie?

Brick. Which is a mob movie set in a high school. Ish.

I don't think that "Heat" quite qualifies as what you're looking for, but I seem to remember enjoying it, and it's certainly in the right kind of area.

Brick is a noir favourite around our house.

Heat isn't exactly what I want but it is an excellent movie regardless.
