Two crimes movies that I’ve seen are The Place Beyond the Pines and Pulp Fiction.
I really enjoyed The Place Beyond the Pines, it was a film plenty of good acting such as Bradley Cooper or Eva Mendes, but who really stands out is Ryan Gosling, an actor that amazes me in every movie he is in.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KepnbJT5nBw
About Pulp Fiction, its soundtrack, cinematography and the amazing actors that appear (specially Samuel. L Jackson) create a work of art. This film is full of memorable moments of the history of cinema such as the dancing scene or the interrogation.

IV. Add at least two more crime TV shows. Do you watch them and do you like them? Why (not)? Add links to the trailers.
– Hawaii Five-0, I usually watch it and I really like it because all crime shows grab my attention and specifically this one because of the colours and landscapes that Hawaii has and for the love stories too. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyyXzcLZSkQ )

V. Add at least two movies you’ve watched in which crime is present. Did you like them? Why (not)? Add links to the trailers.
– Baby Driver, is one of the recents movies that I watched. I really like it because it has a different style of what we are used to see in crime movies. It mix up cars, thiefs and music, and i really like it. Also, the soundtrack and the main characters are really good and very well played by Ansel Elgort and Lily James, two of my favourite actors.
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2z857RSfhk )
– Inception is another movie that I recently watched. It’s one of those movies that you never get bored of see (at least for me). It is not about crime itself, but some way it is present. I really like it because it has a different way to steal something from other person, like the people’s thoughts, and obtain codes or passwords from importants things just by a dream. It also has a good image and really good actors.
