For Christmas I got one of my favorite Steve Martin films Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Ok, it's not the greatest movie ever, and it's not Marin's best, but it's a really good little film.
Again, I'm sure you've seen this one, but if not Martin and Michael Caine star as con men. They are basically gigolos who con rich women out of their fortunes. They eventually team up and work together so that Martin can learn from Caine, as he cons very rich women out of tons of money. As Martin is learning he decides he's had enough and goes on his own. Since Caine doesn't want the competition they agree to a bet - whomever can con $50,000 out of a lady they pick wins and the other must leave town.
In the end it is the two of them who get con'ed by the lady the pick, and they once again team up. It's not great, don't run out and rent it, but if it's on and it's been a while give it a watch, it's worth it.
