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?

"Rififi" is an absolute MUST for any heist movie night, and I'll second the original "Italian Job" (haven't seen the remake...kind of like the original too much to really give it a fair shake, I think.)

"Topkapi" is another classic and if you like the obscure, there's "Grand Slam" from Blue Underground.

Rififi has the single best shot bank robbery ever. Period.

Easily one of the best crime movies of all time. Great direction. Great characters. Everything about that movie is simply spectacular.

Agreed. I got it on a whim and loved it.

Rififi is the best ever. Ever see 'Bob le Flambeur'?
