Con-Artistry in the Media

---

Con Artists can be popular in the media. There are a number of movies and books about them, many of which are extremely interesting, and quite enjoyable.

Here’s a list of some famous movies in English devoted to con artists or scams:

• The Sting
• Catch Me if you Can
• Ocean’s Eleven
• Ocean’s Twelve
• Ocean’s Thirteen

There are also a number of interesting books about scams, frauds, and con-artists.

• How to Become a Professional Con-Artist

Now, if you’re studying Spanish (and don’t mind “R” rated language) a film I enjoyed was “Las Nuevas Reinas”.  It’s a clever film, and very amusing in places. There are lots of examples of all sorts of different ways to “steal with style.”
