Top 10 Crime Movies: The criminal films on this list are ranked based on their box office performance (awards & nominations); popularity; and cinematic quality (directing/writing).
To me, accuracy is crucial when compiling a Top 10/Top 100 all-time list.
My rankings are based on the genuine brilliance and/or success of the person, location, or object being listed, not on my likes.
In other words, I ranked the films on this list based on their financial success (Oscars & BAFTA Awards), as well as their quality in director, screenwriting, and production.
