Hi,

I'm watching "the Sting" for about the 20th time and would like to know what people consider their favourite con films.

I've seen afew, mostly about pool. Any recommendations?

Idid search the forum too

Can't think of any off-hand but I'm sure some will come to me.

The Sting is bloomin' excellent though. One of the all-time greats.

The Grifters is my favourite - very dark though. The cast of Anjelica Huston, John Cusack and Annette Bening are fantastic.

I just looked on wikipedia and there's a sequel to the Sting (doesn't look like it's any good).

I seem to remember a film called Confidence being not too bad. The Hustler and the Colour of Money were good. I watched matchstick men but can't remember much about it.

None were anywhere near as good as The Sting

just read the Grifters plot. It does sound a little depressing!

Confidence I rather liked.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels also another classic, Ruprecht the Monkey Boy was awesome
