Great stuff, keep 'em comin'!

I'll add a few more:

I have to say Basic Instinct is up there for me too. Catherine Tremell has inspired several of my fem fatales.

John Woo's "The Killer"
"Black Rain" another Michael Douglas flick
"Kiss of the Dragon" (Major influences for "Wages of Sin")
"Dark Knight" which is actually a police drama.
"Collateral"

The French Connection

For an oldie try White Heat with James Cagney. A great film that actually seems paced more like a modern film.
