Difficult to argue with this list.
My order would be different though.
Memories of Murder would remain number 1 though.
Taste of Cinema - Movie Reviews and Classic Movie Lists
Violence, deceit, and criminal activities within an urban setting seem to be the main landscape that we most commonly associate with the crime thriller genr
Would you classify Drive as a crime thriller, not sure.
Where the hell is Se7en on that list?
History of Crime was garbage.
No Country for Old Men was ok because of the villain, the rest was boring
Road to Perdition is fantastic, should of been higher.
Saw the American remake of Oldboy which sucked, is the original any better?
A few of them I havenāt seen. I donāt, and wonāt, watch Asian films. All the ones Iāve seen I absolutely hated.
So many movies from the 40s-60s not in there, so much noirā¦and Hitchcock.
Wonder why LA Confidental didnāt make it, and Iād have Mystic River higher.
I would have the original Oldboy as one of the best films of the past 20 years.

You have too many rules to be a true lover of film.
Asian cinema has produced some incredible films in the last couple of decades
Traffic and zodiac donāt deserve to be higher than a lot of the others. Cracking list though.
Agree in Traffic.
Zodiac is excellent though
Zodiac is a great film, just not genre defining like some of the others.
Robert Downey Jr is excellent in it. I wish he would do more meaty roles. Between Sherlock Holmes and the dozen or so Iron Man appearances heās really not done much drama since.

The narrative structure of Zodiac was genre defining.

Everytime I watch GoldenEye, the more I am convinced the Bond franchise peaked with it.
Itās close to perfect.

Every single time I see him jump off that dam at the start I get a sick feeling in my stomach.
Along with casino Royale, my favourite bond film
Awesome villain too
