The 49 Best True Crime Movies of All Time

"True Crime" covers a lot of ground. You might, at first, think of podcasts like Serial or My Favorite Murder that dive into super-specific cases. Or maybe I'll Be Gone In The Dark—the bestselling book-turned-HBO docuseries—which looks at the cold case hunt for the murderer known as The Golden State Killer. But "True Crime" can be much more than that. It can get dark and even sinister when money's on the line, in cases of white collar crimes, financial crimes, organized crimes, and more. Fortunately, there are plenty of movies that shine a spotlight on just that.

The movies here range wide. From serial killer hunts like David Fincher's Zodiac, to racially-motivated tragedies like Fruitvale Station and When They See Us, to white collar Robin Hood schemes like The Bling Ring, there's a lot of different ways for movies on this list to go. But they all share one thing in common: they're based on real events. Stuff that really happened. Sure, some are a bit more fictionalized than others, but at their core, these stories all come from stories based in our world.

So, given all that, we've pulled the greatest true crime movies of all time together for you. Whether these are stories about murder, blue collar crime, white collar crime, harebrained schemes, or anywhere in between, they're all here for your entertainment, and available to stream to your heart's content.
