The Professional? Good choice! Have you seen him in Wasabi? Good flick, some of the same thematical elements, although in Wasabi he's a little more "normal." Reno is just a great guy---which reminds me of another great crime film.....foreign too!

The Crimson Rivers

I heard somewhere that they are coming out with a sequel to the TCR. I certainly hope so.

"lock stock and two smoking barrels".
I actually saw "lock stock and two smoking barrels" for the first time 3 days ago and was quite impressed. It also has my vote.

cha-ching!

my favourite would have to be Carlito's Way
even though it is about trying to leave the world of crime

i agree with holden and maybe this thread should be turned into a heist movie one.
In which case i nominate The Italian Job[1969] (i think the tag line for this movie was even as being the greatest heist movie ever)

Two more great crime movies not already mentioned (i think) -

Heat
Killing Zoe

A crime movie? Hmm, that's hard (see avatar). I don't really know any (see avatar) movies with a crime in the main (see avatar) plot. Let me see......(see avatar). Nope, I can't think of any (SEE AVATAR!).
