COFFEE Is for CLOSERS

" The best trick the Devil ever played was to convince the world that he didn't exist" and

"Who is Kaiser Sosay"???

Usual Suspects. Its an excellent movie. Brilliant acting. And superb ending.

If you want to understand strategy, may I recommend all the con movies?

Ankesh,

Thanks for that list.

I was thinking, Heist and CONfidence - they're on the list.

I'd like to Add a couple of movies...

The Score - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0227445/ - with Robert De Niro and Ed Norton. Another "aging crim does one last job" movie. But like Heist, it just begs for a twist.

Ronin - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122690/ - also with Robert De Niro. A "group of people try to take something from another group of people" movie.

The Interview - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120714/ - with Hugo Weaving (played Agent Smith in the Matrix Trilogy). A guy is brought into custody on suspicion of multiple murder. This is his Interview.

V for Vendetta - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/ - again with Hugo Weaving. Produced by the Matrix producers (and written by them from a Graphic Novel Adaptation). Besides having that annoying Natalie Portman in it, the movie is worth multiple watches to pick up something new at each watching. (Note: If you are ultra conservative you might get put off by what you Think is Conservative Bashing in the movie. Get over it; deal with it; and you'll see there is more to this movie. Also know, it was Originally Written during a period of hatred toward Margaret Thatcher which is why you could think there is Conservative bashing in it.)

last but not least...

Equilibrium - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238380/ - staring the new Batman Christian Bale. Not a heist movie or Con movie. Just good "mindless violence" as I call Action Flicks. Set in the future in a rigidly government controlled time it... heck, just see it for the entertainment of it. (Here's a YouTube Film Clip Music Video made from bits of the movie and set to Evanescence's bring Me To Life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPypRhzfiAY and another Song put to action scenes from the movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bGqnK0mFq4 - enjoy)

Excellent list Michael!

I'll have to watch The Interview sometime soon...

I did some digging and found a list I had created long time back...
http://www.listsofbests.com/list/25323

I love watching con movies and movies with unpredictible and smart twists.

There was also this other old movie about a jury where 1 person persuades the other 11 in the room... but I forget the name... that was pretty good too.

Ankesh

film name- "Twelve Angry Men"

Check out the David Mamet films 'House of Games', 'The Spanish Prisoner' and 'Spartan', excellent psychological thrillers.

Ankesh Thanks. That was the one I was looking for.

The "Con List" you provided is appreciated. Some of my favorites were on there!

Actually I read the book "Catch Me if you Can" which was excellent. Still haven't seen that movie.

I think Jason Cain referred to it an older thread here, also talking about "Con Men"

Maybe Phil can find it :->
