It is just ironic how people love a genre about something they utterly detest , crime and violence . It is very notable that there are several movies of this genre that had achieved popular status , some are even considered as legendary To name

some of some of them : The Godfather (1972 , The Public Enemy (1931 , Layer Cake (2004 , The Third Man (1949 . There should be definitely something that makes these movies popular . Generally , a crime movie that is just sprinkled with senseless violence would not be regarded as a good crime movie .
