Trading Places with Murphy and Aykroyd, they get the cash and the girl at the end.
It was a perfect crime in that he got away with it in spite of its flaws. Just when you are sure he’s going down (and I really wanted that smarmy little punk to go down hard!), the ring twist pops into play in a way I never saw coming. I expected there to be his fingerprints all over it.
Bob le Flambeur, about a casino heist. Bob is, like, ultra-cool. And the movie ends with a straight-faced joke.
Actually,
It’s far from the perfect crime, at least in the movie. After he kills Dickie (in the heat of the moment, rarely conducive to criminal perfection) he has to kill Freddie to cover it up. Marge knows he’s guilty and will continue trying to prove it. He runs into Meredith on the boat and as a result has to kill Peter. A crime where you have to kill two more people and at least one more person who knows the truth remains alive can’t IMHO be considered perfect.
