The Sting (1973) (Caper, Comedy, Crime, Drama) 2hrs 9min
The Sting — Directed by George Roy Hill and starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, this Depression-era caper follows two con men plotting an elaborate swindle against a mob boss (Robert Shaw). With its clever twists, stylish 1930s setting, and Marvin Hamlisch’s Oscar-winning ragtime score (The Entertainer), the film became a cultural touchstone. It won 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, and remains one of the most entertaining and celebrated heist films ever made.*
