Du rififi chez les Hommes hommes AKA Rififi (1955). Pretty much your average film noir, except that this is pretty much perfection. This movie takes your typical caper storyline and turns it into pure brilliance. Every scene is a perfectly crafted work of art. The caper itself is infamous in its portrayal and may be the best ever filmed. On a side note the director was blacklisted from Hollywood and had to go to France; this was the result. The acting was sublime, and the singing scene was itself beauty manifest on celluloid. The ending: marvelous. This is simply a crowning achievement for the film industry. Mercie beaucoup.
