Title: Best "heist" movies
Post by: tonedeaf on Oct 30, 2011 at 11:52 PM
Hi!

I recently purchased DVDs of Out of Sight and Italian Job (the 2003 remake) and got interested in "heist" films - movies about a group of people with various talents trying to steal something. 

I've looked over my collection and note that I have the following:

1. Soderbergh's Out of Sight;
2. Italian Job (2003);
3. Spike Lee's Inside Man; and
4. Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.

Tomorrow, I've decided to see if Astro has Sneakers and Ocean's 11.

Based on some "best of" lists on the web, I'm also thinking of ordering Rififi and the original Italian Job from Amazon.

Any other recommendations?

I like HEAT and RONIN, both starring Robert de Niro.

RONIN is not exactly a heist job but close to it.

Just finished MI3, I agree. I should get the first MI, as that hanging on a rope thing is a classic (JJ Abrams has a nice homage to it in MI3 - Vatican scene).

My current top-10 list (in order of preference):


Honorable Mention: The Thomas Crown Affair (I like Steve McQueen but I thought the Pierce Brosnan version was better).

Here are some old titles I enjoyed watching:

1. HEIST (has a very good twist- starring Gene Hackman)
2. THE SCORE (starring Robert De Niro; one of Edward Norton's best performances)
3. LADYKILLERS (starring Tom Hanks)


If you're into TV series, you will also like Prison Break Season 4 -lots of twists and turns, but I would recommend watching the whole series!

Movie Info

Tripp Kennedy (Patrick Dempsey) ambles into a bank near closing time, just as two different gangs unwittingly converge to rob it. A shoot-out erupts, and Tripp tackles the smart, pretty teller, Kaitlin (Ashley Judd), to protect her. The gangs--one clearly made up of pros and the other a couple of buffoons--have deadlocked themselves in a Mexican standoff. The bank's security system starts the end-of-day lockdown and seals everyone into the building. As the night evolves, a hilarious game of cat and mouse ensues as Tripp and Kaitlin try to save the day, escape being killed, and avoid falling in love...almost.
