love these classy old films

in this same vein, 12 angry men
Finally watched this after first accidentally downloading some modern remake of it.
Not the most enjoyable as a movie, but it sticks around as a one to remember.
I like how the main character, the dude who goes "what if he's innocent" oddly has some perfect millisecond time clock programmed into his head, because he didn't think them beforehand but kept going with the "what if".

This one movie called Thief from 1981 was mentioned to be an inspiration for the GTA game series. The Rockstar paid homage to the movie with GTAV's score that was also made by Tangerine Dream in the same cold electronic style.
The crew of the movie consulted some convicted safe crackers for making this movie so there's a sense of realism to the methods shown in the movie. The shortcoming of the movie in my opinion is the very plain plot, but it's got some amazing night time city aesthetics.
 
Another great watch is a brutal Brazilian crime movie called City of God from 2002.
It starts out quite boring but amps up the violence fast, displaying a country where kids kill each other for a penny. It focuses on a couple of characters and their arcs in a hellscape called Brazil.
