Tell me: The Great Heist Movies

[thebitterguy]

Heyo. Cynra & I wanna do a movie night of heist movies. We wanna do Inside Man, because we just bought it and really like it, and The Usual Suspects because it's my favourite movie ever. Anyone got any other good ideas?

Snatch. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. Layer Cake. Ocean's Eleven. All good heist films.

As long as its the real Ocean's 11.

Don't forget Resevoir Dogs.

Right, the original one. Good catch.

I like both versions of O11 -- I just don't think of'em as the same movie. Same with the Italian Jobs. Give Ocean's 12 a miss, though.

BANDITS, with Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton, is a great Heist Film, though it's more a crime spree than a single, well-plotted Caper. Still, it's clever and fun.

The Thomas Crown Affair -- I regret I've only seen the remake, but, hey, Pierce Brosnan.

And for a more whimsical mood...
NATIONAL TREASURE. Yes, it's over the top, historically dubious, and frnakly outright silly in places -- but you want clever people planning intricate, impossible heists? This movie has two DIFFERENT groups going after the SAME impossible target at the SAME time -- and that's just in the first 30 minutes!

HUDSON HAWK. Yeah, I know, I'm one of half-a-dozen people on the PLANET who liked that film. But it'd be a fun cap to a night of capers.
