Did anyone mention 'Romeo Is Bleeding' yet? Lena Olin is freaking crazy in that one! And Gary Oldman is a complete sucker!

That's a great one! I had completely forgotten about it, it's brilliant.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

Caught SNATCH tonight.  Wow, good flick.  I loved it.

Initially, the camera work and editing was a little off-putting, but I sensed it was forming part of the 'mood.'  I could tell that trainwreck was to going to coalesce into something mighty entertaining, and it did not disappoint.  It did remind me of PULP fiction in a lot ways (the case, boxing, convergent plot arcs, etc).

I'd say 5 out of 5.

(I'm biased toward ANY movie that depicts and Irishman kicking butt).

I'm looking forward to LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS.

I would add Casino, as it hasn't been mentioned (unless I overlooked). And Lock, Stock and two smoking Barrels is very awesome, as is Snatch.

Se7en for me!
If serial killer movies count as crime movies, I'd like to add 'M' by Fritz Lang  :thumbup:
