The Definitive Crime Movies

Crime. Gangsters. Heists. Drug Dealers. Cops. Investigations. Robberies. Hit Men. These are the 200 most definitive crime movies of all time. Not the best. The ones that defined the genre. I am leaving out movies that are obvious examples of other genres like action (JOHN WICK) western (UNFORGIVEN) sci-fi (MINORITY REPORT) even if they involve crime to an extent. These are pure crime movies.
