House of Games
Why this pick
A cool, cerebral con-artist thriller driven by verbal traps, controlled performances, and Mamet’s pleasure in letting every apparently casual exchange carry strategic weight.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle
Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Joe Moore (Gene Hackman) runs a ring of professional thieves, which includes Bobby Blane (Delroy Lindo), Don "Pinky" Pincus (Ricky Jay) and Joe's wife Fran (Rebecca Pidgeon). During a robbery of a New York City jewelry store, Joe's face is captured by a security camera after he takes off his mask in an attempt to distract the store's last remaining employee. As both the picture and a witness can identify him, Joe retires from crime and plans to disappear on his sail boat with his wife.
