What are some good books or movies about con artists?
I'm a huge fan of The Brothers Bloom and Catch Me if You Can, so I've decided I'm a con-artist-o-phile.
What would I enjoy reading or watching?

Another Day in Paradise, by Eddie Little, I think. There was a lousy movie of it, but the book is great.
