Top 10 insurance movies of all time
Granted, the competition is not especially fierce. Here are the Insurance Oscars, as awarded by the Insurance Information Institute. Double Indemnity, the Billy Wilder film starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson, is the logical first choice. Michael Moore's Sicko slips in even though it's (supposedly) a documentary. Reader challenge: Name the top 10 accounting movies.
Double Indemnity (1944)
Memento (2000)
The Fortune Cookie (1966)
The Killers (1946)
Save the Tiger (1973)
The Rainmaker (1997)
The Thomas Crown Affair (1968, 1999)
Sicko (2007)
To Catch a Thief (1955)
Along Came Polly (2004)

VERY nice. I had forgotten that the original impetus to the scam in The Producers was an accounting shortfall. And in The Untouchables, Wiki tells us, the key witness is the bookkeeper.

Midnight Run (1988). Charles Grodin plays a former mob accountant who embezzled from them, and is on the run. Robert DeNiro is a bounty hunter who finds him and is going to deliver him to the FBI. The mob and rival bounty hunter Charles Grodin try to thwart his efforts.

Sorry, I meant to say the rival bounty hunter is Midnight Run is John Ashton. Great movie, very funny!
