Page 1 of Crime Genre?

I`m taking over as Head of Media Studies next term - with the Year 13`s they have to study "Crime Genre" I need to put together a program of films for them to watch to increase their knowledge and show them examples of different films/tv in this genre....

So far I have the obvious:

Godfather
Goodfellas
Taxi Driver
True Romance
CSI
Midsummer Murders (btw way I HAVE To show them these)
Morse
Marple
Oceans 11
The Departed

To name a few

But can you think of any other genre busting, president setting films/tv shows?

Cheers

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i`m dying are the best i`ve ever had.

Memento (the perils of amnesiac vigilantism)

Also, is "president setting" code for "present day setting"?

Midsummer Murders (btw way I HAVE To show them these)

if you can, there is something called the trial. what was on years ago. it shows a trial from three points of views and was controversial at the time for showing bent coppers.

The Usual Suspects
Reservoir Dogs
Casino

Any Guy Ritchie film... they`re all f***ing criminal...

i would say made in britain would be a better choice than scum/..

MiB deals with crime, and the reasons for it, than Scum does. which probably, if you think about it, is more about retribution..

Surely what he means is precedent setting?

As in the first to start a new line ......

That film with Danny Dyer in it set in Spain about drug dealing - quite funny at times

Can`t think of the films name - was on Film 4 a few weeks ago
