Revealing flawed, narcissistic and charismatic characters who disguise, dazzle and dig for gold while taking advantage of others, good con artists are to a degree that—ambitious actors, accomplished artists, versatile performers, and fluid role-players. The intoxicating mix of cheating and beguiling makes for thrilling drama as well as witty comedy, often all in one. Con movies are as old as film (Dr. Mabuse), mostly male-driven (cf. the new Netflix series Inventing Anna about the fake German heiress who recently fleeced the actual New York haute-volée), and have become a scintillating genre onto itself, from The Producers to Parasite. The crooks are after survival, attention, power, fame/notoriety, and nearly always after the money—an eternally enthralling on-screen cocktail. Get in on the hustle with a century of con films full of charm, mischief, and political cunning, including premieres of a 1930 and a 2021 film
