Does anybody else know of any other good con movies?
So far I have seen:
Matchstick Men
The Sting
Confidence
No one mentioned Prime Gig with Vince Vaughn, Ed Harris and Julia Ormond. The movie was a bit slow at times but I really enjoyed it. The ending really makes the movie imo.
shareI liked the usual suspects. Kevin Spacey was awesome in this movie.

The Usual Suspects
Catch Me If You Can
Foolproof
Shade

The Thomas Crown Affair
After The Sunset

Hustle is one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Does anyone know when it is on nowadays?
It seems that rory-devaney has got it covered, summing up a pretty long thread. But others that I have seen on the thread that weren't in the "comprehensive" list are:
Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels
Snatch
Bandits
Heist
Inside Man
Any of these I recomend, as they all are fun flicks. Personally, I think LS2SB had the best twist at the end and I really enjoyed Inside Man.
Also, I'm not sure Out of Sight qualifies as a "con" movie. There's no real deception here (everyone knows where everyone stands), it's just an elaborate heist flick. However, unlike most, I rather liked it, and thought Clooney was pretty good. Of course, I will admit that I am a little partial to it because I read Elmore Leonard's novel that the film was based on (same title) several years earlier when it came out.
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room."
Try the The Whole Nine Yards with Bruce Willis... sorta good humorous con film I reckon..
shareThe Usual Suspects(a known classic). Criminal...Starring John C Reilly and Diego Luna is one of my favorites.
shareNot movies, I know, but for consistent Cons with a twist I'd recommend the BBC series "Hustle" - available on DVD. Good production values.
shareWhat about Primal Fear, April Fool’s Day, The Life of David Gale, Consenting Adults? Not all necessarily "con" movies but who cares if the characters are conning each other or conning us the viewers. I just like twisty endings.
