Jurassic Park or
Saving Private Ryan,
Catch Me if You Can has always quietly been one of Steven Spielberg's greatest films. In fact,
Catch Me if You Can is actually ranked as Spielberg's fourth-best directorial effort on Rotten Tomatoes, above any of his other movies I've mentioned here.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as real life con man Frank Abagnale Jr., who throughout the '60s and '70s cashed more than $2 million in fake checks and successfully posed as a doctor, a lawyer, a college professor, and a pilot for Pan American airlines. According to Abagnale's own story, he began conning at the age of 15 and was hunted throughout his teenage years by the FBI (Tom Hanks plays the fictional agent Carl Hanratty, loosely based on Joseph Shea who was a friend of Abagnale). The film also shows Abagnale escape twice from the FBI—once from a plane as it was on the runway at JFK and again from a detention center in Atlanta.
