I studied about the biography of Frank Abagnale Jr. He is truly a genius of his time. He posed as an airline pilot, a physician, a U.S. Bureau of Prisons agent, and a lawyer. All before he was 21 years of age. When he finally made a deal with the FBI and eventually became a consultant and lecturer for the FBI... He went on and and gave a heart felling speech about his life and how much he loved his parents. Truly remarkable man.

I have found so many good movies through WatchMojo! This channel is what got me into movies. Before i Watched WatchMojo, I hadnt watched star wars, The Godfather, and i am going to watch the usual suspects now! Thanks so much Watchmojo!

[RandomUerName]

Leo's are my favorite. Jordan Belfort and Frank Abagnale, Jr.

[Aykashh]

Catch Me if You Can is one of my favorite movies ever!

[sugarxsnap]

In regard to Matchstick Men: I believe Frank Mercer should have been the chosen con artist of the film, even though his role was much smaller by comparison. While Roy Waller did have marvellous tricks up his sleeve, it is he who ended up a victim near the film's end; cementing the everlasting qualities that made it one of cinema's most memorable con artist films.

Why the fuck has Leo not won an Oscar yet?
