What Are the Greatest Movies about Gmen?
I'm wanting to do a short that involves comedic gmen. My knowledge is spotty in this area. What are some of the most famous films that involve these "just the facts, ma'am" masters of American security. Thank you.

Oooh! Good one! That will definitely work for my short. Thank you!

There's one called, "Gmen" from 1935. I guess that's a no-brainer.

The FBI Story

Big Jim McLain (sort of)

J. Edgar (haven't seen it)

Catch Me If You Can (while it focused on the DiCaprio character, it was about the government (Hanks) tracking him down)

I would add: G-MEN (1935) with James Cagney; DILLINGER (1973) with Ben Johnson as Melvin Purvis; and PUBLIC ENEMIES (2009) with Christian Bale as Purvis and Billy Crudup as J. Edgar.

Didn't the OP say "comedic" GMen?

I'd find some clips of Gordon Cole in FIRE WALK WITH ME.

And let's not forget Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the two X-FILES films.

There's G-Men from Hell. But it's not great.

Gmen from The Wamking Dead is my favorite.
