3 movies I’m watching to pass the time until Grand Theft Auto VI

GTA VI is set to release on November 19, and the anticipation is growing. To tide over the waiting period, I've been indulging in some gaming and movies. Playing numerous new releases from September and October has been enjoyable, but watching a few films has added an extra layer of excitement. The movies chosen range from classics that inspired GTA games to a documentary set within GTA 5.

For those feeling the wait for GTA 6, here are three movies to watch and pass some time. First up is 'Scarface' (1983). This Brian De Palma crime drama was a significant inspiration for GTA: Vice City. The story revolves around Tony Montana, who builds a criminal empire in 1980s Miami. Watching this classic will certainly set the mood for a digital crime spree.

Next, 'Bonnie and Clyde' (1967) is another intriguing addition to GTA 6. The characters Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are reminiscent of the infamous duo. This film tells the true story of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, who embarked on a wild criminal spree during the Great Depression. Despite their tragic end, the movie remains somber and wins Oscars for Best Supporting Actress and Cinematography.

Finally, 'Grand Theft Hamlet' (2024) offers a unique perspective. This documentary uses GTA V as its playground, as two friends attempt to stage Shakespeare's Hamlet within the game's open-world. While it may seem absurd, the film provides insights into digital connections and solace through art, alongside some hilarious and heartwarming moments. For those eager to experience the madness, 'Grand Theft Hamlet' is available on Mubi.
