Here are a few movies to watch before GTA 6 (including some you can see in theaters)

Elite travelers will venture into the 305

In anticipation of the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6, scheduled for November 19 on the Xbox Series X-Series and PlayStation 5, a comprehensive list of films and television shows that viewers should watch in the run-up to the main event has been prepared. This selection includes classic titles that will be shown at the Regal Cinemas cinemas over the next week. To promote the game, Regal Cinemas is organising a GTA 6 cinematic marathon, which will begin before the game's release, scheduled for Thursday 14 November.

This marathon will debut in theaters on Friday, showing the film Spring Breakers featuring actresses Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez, alongside James Franco. Every day, through November 18, a new movie will be available, including Scarface and Fast 2 Furious, along with other beloved Miami movies. Full details of the programme are available below. A special greeting to Miami, Bienvenidos of Miami! ️ ️☀️ 🔥💖 - Regal (@RegalMovies) on November 6, 2026.

Elite travelers will venture into the 305 region, seeing on the big screen a vibrant, action-packed cynicism that includes 2 Fast 2 Furious , Bad Boys II , Pain & Gain , Scarface , Spring Breakers and the director's cut by Michael Mann for Miami Vice . It's time to prepare for an energetic experience, characterized by Gators-related elements, tans and intense action. This event will take place exclusively between 13 and 18 November at the Regal. Access to tickets can be obtained immediately at https://t.co/EXCfqOF4gz.

Independently, this list is already a remarkable selection, as all the films feature absurd Miami crime narratives. Although 2 Fast 2 Furious is not considered to be the most critically acclaimed, its Miami setting, along with the presence of actors Paul Walker and Eva Mendes, offers a decent analogy to the characters Jason and Lucia. Spring Breakers perfectly captures the kind of Florida excesses we anticipated in a Grand Theft Auto game, while Scarface and Miami Vice are, of course, the narrative foundation of the original title, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City . If you don't have a Royal Cinemas nearby or are looking for alternatives to home viewing, we've compiled a short list of recommendations before the GTA 6 launch.

In terms of direct inspiration, the film Bonnie and Clyde (1967) is probably

In terms of direct inspiration, the film Bonnie and Clyde (1967) is probably the main source of inspiration for GTA 6. This narrative production re-enacts the true story of an infamous criminal couple, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who are involved in a series of violent criminal acts across the United States. At the time of its release, the film generated intense controversy due to its overt violence, sympathy for the protagonists, and sexual burden. These themes were considered taboo in the production era, but over time it received numerous award nominations and remains a masterpiece to this day. GTA 6 focuses on a couple on the run, who try to stay in touch despite potentially devastating obstacles. Whether the fate of Jason and Lucia will replicate the catastrophic end of Bonnie and Clyde remains to be determined, but watching this film seems essential before GTA 6.

Also, True Romance , one of Quentin Tarantino's first works, is worth mentioning. This film follows a deeply in love couple who get caught up in dangerous situations, forcing them to flee. Although it borrows elements from Bonnie and Clyde, it does not have the same dark hue. It is an extremely brutal and morally opposite work, however, but it is approached with a more pronounced entertainment note compared to „Bonnie and Clyde”, which is not surprising to Tarantino's fans.

The movie Baby Driver tells the story of a young getaway driver, known as „Baby”, who was forced into the world of illegal interactions after a deal with a sinister criminal boss. He tries to undo his chaos by listening to a very diverse list of musical lines. The entire action of the film is perfectly synchronized with the rhythm and beat of his music, resulting in extremely ingenuous and satisfying action sequences. GTA 6 will give players the ability to listen to music while traveling, similar to Baby's experience, but the main reason this film is on the list is its narrative. Baby tries to break free from his criminal life once he forms a relationship with a chef at a restaurant he frequents, thus putting both of them under the fire of the most dangerous individuals in the city.

It's very likely that GTA 6 will focus, at least in part, on the efforts of the two, Jason and Lucia, to build a better life.
