Much of what makes Black Mass compelling — the drama, the crime — shows up in The Town (2010) in a slightly different form. Both films understand that dark storytelling works best when it trusts the audience.

The drama energy of Black Mass is alive in Donnie Brasco (1997), filtered through a different story but the same emotional register. It earns its place on this list with a dark payoff that rivals the original pick.

If Black Mass's drama stayed with you, Miller's Crossing (1990) delivers the same sensation through an entirely different story. The crime through-line is the real common thread between them.
