Re: What are some good gritty 80s crime movies
It has become more of a name gritty 80s movies do I will add a trio of Burt Reynolds flicks: Stick, shear key's machine, and Heat. Also there is raw deal with Arnold and The Protector with Jackie Chan. Also I think Shakedown is an eighties flick.

Black Moon Rising: does that count? IIRC, it was an R rated crime movie from around 1986. Cool car, Tommy Lee Jones was kind of a badass. Linda Hamilton had the funky 80s hairdo.

These are some great movies. I've seen most of the ones mentioned, but there's a few that need to be seen again. Haven't seen Johnny Handsome since it was first released.

The 80's sure were Mickey Rourke's decade -
Angel Heart & Barfly.
Granted the latter isn't a crime film but it's gritty up the ass (it's Bukowski, yo!) and AH is a supernatural private eye tale. Works for me.
Oh, and Body Heat was the bomb, yo! (Rourke's first appearance)

Damn I forgot about I, the Jury.
Before Armand Assante became a mumbling idiot in his movies, he was fucking badass as Mike Hammer.

80's & gritty don't go together
70's & gritty...now that works
