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?

Some of my favourites:

- Heist (how could people miss this?) with Hackman, Rebecca Pidgeon, Danny DeVito, Ricky Jay, and Delroy Lindo. It's Mamet, so you know the dialogue's gonna crackle. (House Of Games and Spanish Prisoner are two close cousins of the Heist film: the Big Con film, and they're also good.)

- The Score with DeNiro, Norton, Brando, and Angela Bassett, directed by Frank Oz (sic). This is a quiet little heist picture with great performances, set in Montreal!

- The Hot Rock with Redford and Segal: it's a bit dated, but has some classic moments.

- Sneakers with Redford, Kingsley, Ackroyd, et al: again, it's a bit dated, but has some classic moments ("Oh Marty! They're not that organized!").
