#20: Thief (1981)
James Caan brings a deep humanity to Thief, a story about a man who wants out of crime but can’t quite escape it. Another movie directed by Michael Mann. This particular film shines with moody cityscapes, blue neon, and quiet desperation. The heist scenes feel mechanical and real, stripped of Hollywood glamour. It’s about skill, loneliness, and the price of freedom. Caan’s performance, tough but vulnerable, makes it unforgettable.
