#57. Catch Me If You Can (2002)


Director: Steven Spielberg
Screenplay: Jeff Nathanson (Based on the book "Catch Me If You Can: The Amazing True Story of the Youngest and Most Daring Con Man in the History of Fun and Profit" by Frank Abignale Jr. & Stan Redding)
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Natalie Baye, James Brolin, Jennifer Garner

Quote: "I'm not a doctor. I never went to medical school. I'm not a lawyer, or a Harvard graduate or a Lutheran. Brenda, I ran away from home a year and a half ago when I was 16."

Based on the life of young con-man Frank Abignale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio), who started stealing and faking his way to the good life when his parents had a bitter divorce in the early 60s. As he runs away, makes new friends, wears the finest clothes, drives the hottest cars and have the sexiest girls all before he turns 21, we also follow the footstep of Special Agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) who tries to hunt Abignale down and try to put an end to his very expensive operation.
