So I just watched David Fincher's The Killer (2023) recently & it was great.

So what are some great movies told from the POV of characters who'd usually be the villains of the story. Criminals. Thieves, Assassins, Psychopaths, Serial Killers & straight up Super villains.

A few of my favorites are

1. The Godfather (1972)
2. Ocean's 11 (2001)
3. Thief (1981)
4. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
5. Goodfellas (1990)
6. Casino (1995)
7. American Psycho (2002)
8. Split (2017)
9. Payback (1999)
10. The Usual Suspects (1995)

What year is this???

[–] samoanjoes (53039) 2 months ago

2024 but I party like it's 1999.

[–] Stratego (29536) 2 months ago

In 1999 everybody already knew who Keyser Soze was...except Gabriel Byrne. I think he still doesn't know.

Great list. Seen 'em all except Split.

My additions:
The Town (2010)
Wall Street (1987)
The Getaway (1972)
The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)

The Town was excellent.

Megamind (2010)

[–] M1sterDoct0r (4082) 2 months ago

Oh, good pick. So good & super rewatchable.

I'd also add the first Despicable Me movie. Didn't care for the sequels but the first one is pretty darn good.

[–] samoanjoes (53039) 2 months ago

Snatch (2000)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
Joker (2019)
The Italian Job (1969)

[–] M1sterDoct0r (4082) 2 months ago

Speaking of Snatch. Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (1998) another Guy Ritchie flick which is also great.

Also, The Gentlemen (2019)

I've not seen The OG Italian Job but the remake was pretty darn entertaining.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
Monster (2003)

[–] M1sterDoct0r (4082) 2 months ago

Talented Mr Ripley is still Matt Damon's best performance imo. At least my favorite of his.

[–] nyctc7 (41983) 2 months ago

[–] RoboReCop (2882) 2 months ago

Predestination (2014)
