Movies About Committing the 'Perfect Crime'


Does anyone have any recommendations for good movies in which the characters try to get away with committing the "perfect murder" or any other "perfect crime" (bank heist, jewelry heist, art heist, etc.)? I am looking for some good "whodunnits" or "howcatchems" ... where the "perfect crime", of course, unravels before the viewer's eyes. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Matchpoint has a very similar plot. "Clue" is exactly what you're looking for.

I'd also recommend Insomnia, Oceans Eleven, Italian Job

@tao-ako09-599-911956: Ghajini is a terrible 'copy' of Christopher Nolan's Memento mate. Please save peoples' time and don't recommend it to anyone. It's a request.
