    Which movies are (or were) your favorites? Not sure if there's already been a topic specific to this? Let's say top 10 and honorable mentions?

    Heat (1995) - I think maybe the best 90's crime flick
    Carlito's Way (1993)
    Casino (1995)
    LA Confidential (1997)
    Goodfellas (1990)
    Dead Presidents (1995)
    New Jack City (1991)
    Getaway (1994)
    Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991).... now probably a guilty pleasure, but I liked it when it was released :)
    Last Boy Scout (1991) - same as one above

    IMO, there are some great Crime/Gangster movies from the 1930's to 2,000's...

    I put Heat at the top, I think it's maybe the best crime movie.
    I will say that I've never seen The Usual Suspects, it's a movie that many people tend to praise, but I never got around to seeing it

    US is enjoyable and from what I see on your list you should agree. ; )
    oh, and my favorite actor in Heat is Val Kilmer...he was great in this.

    True Romance (1993) is also a pretty good one

    I'd add a couple of Christopher Walken films-
    The King of New York and Suicide Kings.
    Also despite there being spy elements, Ronin was also a heist movie and right up there with Heat for me.

    L.A. Confidential, Silence of the Lambs, and Basic Instinct (1992) are probably my favorites.

    Heat, is that the one where they put the guy’s head in a vice ?

    that one scene put me off modern crime films.

    I do watch quite a bit of crime drama from the 40’s and 50’s.

    Why are you asking me that? Heat isn't on my list.

    I did see it, but I don't think there was a scene like that. Could be wrong, though.

    I believe you are thinking of 'Casino' (1995). Heat isn't that violent in the scheme of things.
