Thief: The Best James Caan Movie You Never Saw!

Movies lost one of the greatest ever tough guy actors this week when James Caan passed away at 82. While his filmography is long, containing such classics as The Godfather and Misery, on this special episode of The Best Movie You Never Saw, we look at perhaps his greatest role - in Michael Mann's feature debut Thief! In it, James Caan plays a professional thief named Frank, who values his independence above all things. His life gets complicated when he falls in love and wants to start a family, putting him under the thumb of a mob boss, and if Frank wants to stay free, it'll cost him everything. Featuring a score by Tangerine Dream, Thief was ignored when it hit theaters in 1981 but has come to be acknowledged as a classic, even if it's a film a surprising number of Michael Mann fans haven't seen. PLUS - as a bonus, we count down some unseen James Caan gems, such as the Sam Peckinpah martial arts flick, The Killer Elite, and more.
