I guess it depends on your POV and what your description of crime is. But I'll throw these two out anyways, I and I agree, there's probably a million more. Lizzie Borden's "Born in Flames" and Spielberg's "Sugarland Express." Re: women as detectives I saw this last week on TCM, "The Penguin Pool Murders." Time Out Film Guide, has a simply wonderful subject index that I turned to often at the library; Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever likewise has a handy index, and no longer published Motion Picture Guide. If I remember correctly, The Rough Guide to Film also had a juicy subject index. And I would be remiss not mentioning and giving a shout out for Halliwell's Filmgoer's Companion. All should be at a well stocked larger public library. And of course, IMdB is pretty fantastic, too, for searching for films on a certain subject, and even from a certain time, and country. And this looks like a great site for you. Probably doesn't get into experimental or even independent film, so you'll have to look. http://www.crimeculture.com/Contents/CrimeFilms-5.html
