This week on Episode 480 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by our review of Catch Me If You Can, we discuss our favorite “cat and mouse” movies. These type of movies have been a staple in Hollywood since the beginning of the industry, so it’s amazing that we haven’t done this topic over the years as there are countless films to consider for this exercise. Oftentimes they’re very entertaining, full of mystery and suspense, and have such a wide appeal. It wasn’t easy narrowing down the chopping block, however it did make for an interesting conversation. That said, here are our lists:
(Note: Please keep in mind that we each had different criteria for our selections)
Brendan
1) Fargo
2) The Fugitive
3) Zodiac
Jay
1) Blackhat
2) The Fugitive
3) Oldboy
Mitchell
