Thick As Theives- a black comedy with Adam Baldwin as a contract theif for the Chicago mob and a record collector who listens to mainstream jazz, mostly, as a past time. He runs afoul of a colorful and funny crime boss with a motley crew of associates to include Andre Braugher in Detroit. Actually, they run afoul of him.

Montana- a black comedy with Kyra Sedgewick as a dedicated enforcer for a mob boss and his goons and double crossers. Complex plot and a host of characters that all effect the outcome. Great writing.

The Dancer Upstairs- directed by John Malkovich and starring Javier Bardem as a gentile and highly dedicated counter terrorist investigator in Ecuador (presumably) during a time of a socialist revolution. This actor positively shines and I've read he is scheduled to appear in the Coen brothers next release.

A Dandy in Aspic (as cornball as it was existential), and Man on a Swing (Joel WAY OVER the top, but a plot that couldn't be spoiled by one ham).
The Dancer Upstairs definitely is not "B" unless you mean its modest - tinear 05:35:39 06/27/07 (0)
budget.
Bardem is one of the best actors currently working.
