My favorite movie crime thrillers
The “nameless ones” at Moviefone have offered their list of the 25 best crime thrillers of all time. I can’t argue with most of the entries, but I’d debate their positions on the list. Placing Silence of the Lambs, good as it is, at the very top, above Double Indemnity (#12), Anyway, Moviefone’s top ten is, in ascending order, Chinatown, Fargo, The Manchurian Candidate, Seven, The Usual Suspects, The Third Man, North by Northwest, The French Connection, Rear Window, and Silence of the Lambs. Here’s my list of the ten best crime thrillers of all time (in descending order and subject to change at my whim):
2. The Third Man
3. Pulp Fiction
5. Bob Le Flambeur
6. M
7. The Usual Suspects
8. Touch of Evil
9. Diabolique
10. The Big Sleep

I'd personally put "M" third instead of Pulp Fiction but that's me. I really can't argue with your list since my top two are the same as yours.
I saw The Third Man for the first time as a young child. IMHO, a better movie than Casablanca.
I like your list much more (not much surprise in that), but would put Double Indemnity (I'm a big Stanwyck, Wilder and E.G Robinson fan) and maybe some others (e.g. maybe Maltese Falcon, Out of the Past but I don't really like making lists much) in the top ten.
It won't really have success, I consider so.
Quite effective info, thank you for this post.
So, I do not really believe it will have effect.
Very interesting post. I think this advice can be very helpful for many people.
