Not seen all of those, but would certainly agree with most of them. For me, Goodfellas is a classic, much more authentic than the over-hyped Departed. Casino is a great film too, as it has Joe Pesci in outstanding form, and Sharon Stone being, well, Sharon Stone.<br />
<br />
Thought Mystic River was great too, and Carlitos Way.<br />

In fact, there are some superb crime films out there. Seven, for example, was great on its first viewing. What I want to know about Seven though is that it comes out as a great surprise that it was Kevin Spacey all along who was the bad guy, and he was supposedly the reporter on the stairs. But was it Kevin Spacey in reality on the stairs, as I think I would have recognised him if he had just popped up as seemingly an extra? And if it wasn't him, then it's a bit of a con.<br />
<br />
My apologies for all those settling down tonight for your first ever viewing of Seven<br />

Saw was great as well, if that is crime (I suppose it is, in a loose sense). Just saw one that easily tops…tag:crimespace.ning.com,2008-05-26:537324:Comment:1426932008-05-26T20:30:56.554ZJason Martinhttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/JasonMartin
Just saw one that easily tops To Live and Die in L.A. on my list - The Bank Job, with Jason Statham. A+ flick, really!

Simon, it was tough narrowing it down to just 10. Could've also added Seven, Goodfellas, Casino, Reservoir Dogs, Salton Sea, The Last Seduction, The Pledge, maybe even In Bruges. Straight Time was '78 otherwise that would be high on my list. Interesting I haven't seen Silence of the Lambs on anyone's list

The Public Eye, starring Joe Pesci.<br />
<br />
Without a doubt, one of the best crime movies of the last quarter century. Made in 1994, the setting is 1942 Manhattan, and the plot revolves around a two mob gangs battling over control of a very lucrative commodity that was being rationed because of the war. Haunting music, great acting and a explosive climactic ending make this a must for crime movie aficianados.<br />
<br />
The biggest crime is that this gem is not yet available on DVD (just VHS).

I bumped Body Heat from my top 10 because it's homage to 40's noir. That said, I love the movie to pieces. :-)

You're right, Dave. The question was about post-eighties films. My apologies. Maybe another thread for the oldies would be appropriate. I DID see a good one last night that was more modern - The Bank Job, with Jason Statham. That one's going on my list, once I rewrite it.

The question was asking from 1980 on. Otherwise, you'd have ot add the ones you mentioned, plus both Godfathers, The Roaring Twenties, Key Largo, Double Indemnity, Shadow of a Doubt, and far too many others too mention.
