Just limiting to the 21st century: Pretty much all of Villeneuve 's movies, Wind River, Hell or High Water, No Country, Drive, The Town, The Departed, American Made, Drive, Killing Them Softly, Miami Vice, Collateral, Man on Fire, Training Day, The Way of the Gun, City of God. Maybe some Matthew Vaughn or Guy Ritchie.

Then there's a lot of 20th century stuff, certainly Heat. And Traffic for the Del Toro parts.

There's a show on Amazon too, ZeroZeroZero.

Villeneuve just has a way with gritty interesting storytelling. I really enjoy watched films through his lens. I remember watching Prisoners with my dad when I was 15 and I was blown away and just well he told that story. His success with Dune and Blade Runner don't surprise me at all. It's going to be fun to watch his career continue to grow moving forward.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'll take a look at the ones I haven't seen. From that list I haven't seen five out of all the films you listed.

I'll have a watch and report back, thanks.

Also, City of God (recommended it to a friend but they didn't want to watch because of subtitles lol) Heat, The Departed, The Town are 10/10, never watched Traffic but will add it to my list!

Oh! Traffic is OG! Not as violent, but tells such a full story of the war on drugs! Very dark movie though.

Haven't seen City of God in years, I might just go rewatch it tomorrow. Great movie.

Yeah it's a brilliant film.

I recommended it to a few friends but I don't know, they didn't experience it the way I did.

I genuinely think it's a masterpiece.
