The vast majority of films contain crime of some sort, the very notion of it in-play as a dramatic device since the movies began. For that reason, Netflix's "Crime" category is huge; a sprawling selection in keeping with Netflix's general, unofficial policy: a few great films, some good ones, some half-way decent, and most absolutely abysmal. With this being the case, searching for something to watch on Netflix, in any category, can become taxing, and its doubtless that every person reading this has spent at least once on the site searching for something to watch for longer than it actually takes to watch something. Because we feel your pain, we have compiled a guide to 17 Hidden Crime Movie Gems You Can Watch On Netflix, in the hope of both saving you some precious, precious time, and too pointing you in the direction of some films you might never've heard of. (Or ones that you have but forgot about). Presented here are some films completely unknown, some films that serve as forgotten essentials of a bygone era, and some films that fall somewhere in-between. What they have in common is that they are all crime films you might've otherwise missed whilst scrolling the endless reels of Netflix's sundry selection. Note: This list adheres to the US version of Netflix.
