Particularly ones that are crime films, focusing on the criminal as a hero.

Virtually any film starring Lino Ventura. Les Tontons flingueurs is a must see.
Also, a very strange yet disturbingly funny film with belgian actor Benoît Poelvoord, C'est arrivé près de chez vous, in which a pair of film makers turn a documentory following the daily life of a killer.


Please pardon any inaccuracies in my english, this is my first post and occasion to talk about a subject I'm very familiar with on this forum.

Seconding La Haine. Its one of the most moving and provacative films I've ever seen.

La Haine as suggested is a must see as well as pretty much all the other films mentioned. Might want to try Man bites dog. Not really a hero but a good crime/bad guy film.

Indeed. The (British) English release title was Man Bites Dog. The rape scene is particularly disturbing.
