I have been begging people to give this genre a chance I truly love these Eurocrime action films they are amazing

Have you seen "Dragged Across Concrete" yet? I saw that movie and it has that Euro Crime feel! From S. Craig Zahler, the director of Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Bone Tomahawk.

Any day with a new CM vid is a good day. Thanks for the highlights in this video. My to watch list has greatly expanded.

I got to Italian genre films late in my cinematic life but it has been such a revelation.

The Big Racket (Castellari) is a personal favorite of mine.

"Violent Beast, Gun!" Damnit, Gagic! You just had to name-drop the rapiest one in the entire genre! That's it, you're off the case! Hand in your gun and your badge! You're a loose cannon, McGarnagle! (Seriously though, that movie is pretty crazy to watch) PS: My personal fav is Live like a Man, Die like a Cop. Two models playing cops that are even more callous and violent than the criminals are!

Wooooo, somebody other than me likes Contraband! So many great pulp crime flicks came out of Italy and can be thanked for the modern “ gritty “ crime dramas we have, most are better in a lot of ways too. Always good shit, man, love that you spotlighted a little recognized subgenre like this 👍

Fuck yeah, this is a totally awesome subgenre, sadly under-represented too when it comes to these films coming to blu-ray these days, I can't wait to snag a copy of Grinhouse Releasing's blu of Rome Armed to the Teeth! Would be awesome to see you cover some of these specific films in the future. Cheers for putting me onto Faster and The Town too, checking out those ASAP!

Awesome to see you come back with more videos and especially some love for Italian crimes films. Just recently started seeing sone of these films and I love them, Fabio Testi and Franco Nero are two my all time favorites.

William Friedkin's To Live and Die in L.A. is my favorite crime thriller. Everything's great about it: the acting, the soundtrack, the cinematography, the car chase scene, the locations. I also love Heat and Donnie Brasco.

I just got into the euro crime flicks recently. Some great ones were mentioned by you. A couple of my favorites are: The Big Racket, Caliber 9, and Rabid Dogs(was made in '74 but not released until '98). Keep up the great content.

Love to see you review some Italian crime movies from the 70's!

This sounds like something I would not mind looking up and this is something that Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Rick Dalton would’ve done.

Plus the Poliziotteschi genre was an absolute farm league for a lot of great Italian film composers. For every Morricone there were at least two Franco Micalizzi and Fabio Frizzis, that would then go on to form the foundation of italo-disco synth sounds from the 70s onwards, even to today's modern syynthwave resurgence. Seriously, go listen to Beyond the Door and The Visitor. Spaghetti Exorcism, anyone?

Maurizio Merli was my favorite in these movies, manic as hell, but also a bit classy. They are a great release from the insanity of today.

Contraband is my favorite in this genre. The ending is absolutely fuckin brilliant!

When the track from Street Law dropped in Faster, it got me so pumped! The Euro Crime genre is possibly my favorite of the genre films to come out of Italy around this time. Tomas Milian being one of my favorite actors from the genre he showed up in so many kick ass films. Check out Almost Human, one of his best performances also staring Henry Silva directed by Umberto Lenzi

Thank you! Wanted to get into that genre for quite a time now, but didn't know where to begin...

thanks for the shout-out to our EUROCRIME: THE ITALIAN COP AND GANGSTER FILMS THAT RULED THE 70's Documentary. If you ask me, the king of the genre was Umberto Lenzi, and I'd show NAPOLI VIOLENTA and ROMA A MANO ARMATA (screening tomorrow in Atlanta as "The Tough Ones") to anyone curious to take a first step into an awesome larger world.

Thanks for the spotlight, CM!

I'd argue Banshee the tv show from Cinemax. Had elements of these and Spaghetti Westerns. Oh a lot of these films are on Tubi now too

Eurocrime fanatic here!

Well. You’ve given me some films to check out when I get my Wifi back. I dig stuff like this. Thanks CM!

So spoiled by all the new vids! Dude you are literally the first channel I ever subscribed to.

Barely found out about CM a couple of days ago love this channel Good work my Duuude

Great subgenre! And one of my favourites. Thanks for the video!

THIRD! Bullshit comment jokes aside, I'm glad you're feeling better. I am curious, what are your thoughts on the "Japanese Cyberpunk" (the Marinetti-esque "Futurism on film" as vaguely defined by Wikipedia, i.e. Burst City, 964 Pinocchio, and TETSUO: The Iron Man to name examples) genre as a whole?

One of my favorite movies as a kid was SUPER FUZZ (I’m originally from Miami) I didn’t know it was Italian but when I found out I got hooked on a lot of these movies.

I'm discovering this channel. I watch what you call Euro-Crime movies in italian, so the titles might be quite different. People here might want to check out "Mean Frank and Crazy Tony" (1973) with Lee van Cleef (he was hugely popular in Italy) and "The Day of the Cobra" (1980) with Franco Nero.

Welp, I guess I'll have to add these to my bucket list!!!!!

Been collecting these motherfuckers for almost a decade now - from vhs to dvd and now blu-ray. Grindhouse released THE TOUGH ONES recently with Merli and Milian. Awesome genre which hopefully more and more people will get into.

Cover some european horror/fantasy films?

Not really into them but.....I do own few on blu ray and they are pretty kino. The action is always pretty good and the scores gorgeous.

What are your favorites Cine-Masochist? Please reply back to me because I can easily crack in a top 10 10.)Rome Armed To The Teeth(I love the Hunchback so much he is such a cool character, the ending could have been better, but still a fabulous effort from Umberto Lenzi.) 9.)Almost Human(One of Thomas Milan’s sleaziest characters) 8.)Violent Rome(I would have preferred more shootout action, but we still get a ton of other entertaining action scenes such as some nice fist fights and car chases.) 7.)The Cynic, The Rat, and The Fist(In my opinion the superior film to it’s predecessor Rome Armed to The Teeth) 6.)Violent Naples(One of the most action packed Dirty Harry type films ever with the fantastic Maurizio Merli) 5.)The Mad Dog Killer(What an insane antagonist in such and awesome film) 4.)Caliber 9(Great one by Di Leo, and love the mafia like feel to it) 3.)Street Law(A better Death Wish than the first Death Wish if you ask me an amazingly sympathetic and respectable performance by Franco Nero) 2.)The Boss(An intense hit man film with an excellent antihero performance by Henry Silva) 1.)The Big Racket(Dark gritty and action packed a true classic in the genre)

I'm going to have to watch this genre of cinema.

Best gallbladderless KZfaqr ever!

I knew you had a great taste in movies. FASTER doesn't get enough respect. Sermon's over.

Misfits with Alice Cooper in Texas this October

They are very important; Enzo G. Castellari's films are flawless when it comes to crime Movies.

Love that Street Law theme

To me, no one touches Fernando Di Leo and Tomas Milian. Kidnap Syndicate and Almost Human - underrated classics.

Rock On

You need to review cannibal ferox

FUCKKK YES NEW VID

So what’s the best one you recommend or two

My favorite is The Big Racket

Ever look at Buckaroo Banzai?

Yes!

Cool now I have good movies to watch

Fuck yes!

Neflix will not work with NordVPN I have tried

The poliziotteschis aren't the movies Castanelli, Fulci and Deodato are known for, it's the "Z-Grade" films. Castanelli did the Mad Max rip offs, which are low budget and fun but are RIP OFFS. Fulci's movies are fun but tend to be all over the place, most of them being incoherent as all hell. Deodato did "Cannibal Holocaust", that explains itself. They'll have their fans, myself being one, but if exploitation films are getting released over the gritty crime dramas, what else can they be know for? P.S. Tarintino wouldn't have a career if it weren't for Hong Kong movies, but that's my opinion.

Cobra! the best

Sounds like you just watched Mike Malloy's EUROCRIME doc, grabbed a few points from it, ripped some artwork from it too and made another lazy video. Last one for me, unsubscribed.

Second! :)
