The Honeymoon Killers
Martha Beck, an obese nurse consumed by loneliness, joins a 'correspondence club' and discovers a romantic pen pal in Ray Fernandez. Martha falls hard for Ray and remains determined to stay by his side even after learning he is a con man who seduces lonely single women, kills them, and takes their money. Posing as Ray's sister, she accompanies him on a wild killing spree, driven by the lingering fear that Ray will abandon her for one of his marks.

The "anti-Bonnie and Clyde," as described by the film's director Leonard Kastle. Who? Yeah, I never heard of him either. He made one movie and it's 1) a classic, 2) part of the Criterion Collection, and 3) one of François Truffaut's favorites. It was also a movie Martin Scorsese started to direct but was let go! So what is it? A low-budget, independent true crime story about a notorious team of con artists and killers. It has gorgeous black and white camerawork and excellent acting. It's creepy and original, and entirely gripping.
