Heist films

[Tony Moanero]

I love them, me.

 

Dog Day Afternoon (one of my all-time favourite films of any genre) , Bonnie and Clyde, The Town, Out of Sight, The Taking of Pelham 123 (original).

 

What are your favourites?

[General Dryness]

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels & Snatch.

 

Guy Richies work went seriously downhill after those two.

[manwiththestick]

Reservoir Dogs, Heat and I suppose The Italian job.

[skend04]

The Anderson Tapes. An underrated Connery movie.

[SasaS]

Killing Zoe, Heist, Straight Time, Le Cercle Rouge, The Driver, Thief.  

[Shitty Arse]

Agree with most of the ones above.

Inside Man with Denzel Washington and Clive Owen is a good one. The Stanley Kubrick film The Killing is a classic as well.

[Boss]

The Score, The Sting.

[Strontium]

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Sneakers

[TheBitch]

Ocean's Eleven

Ocean's Twelve

Ocean's Thirteen

[Anubis]

The First Great Train Robbery.

[Mike D]

Robbery. Stanley Baker film based on the great train robbery.

[Pureblood]

Bonnie and the Backheel

[Mike D]

Another good Stanley Baker one is Perfect Friday, with Ursula Andress.

[RobG]

Two way stetch

[Mike D]

The Ladykillers.

[TheBitch]

A fish called Wanda.

[Mike D]

Another good Stanley Baker one is Perfect Friday, with Ursula Andress.

I forgot to mention she does get naked a lot in this film. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3hy90n

I thought this was better than expected:

 

 

I wouldn't have watched it if I'd known the cast, but it turned out to be very good.

 

Also, the hint at Princess Margaret being a "swinging, good time girl" in the Sixties is fascinating: https://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2008/03/07/whats-the-real-story-behind-the-bank-job

Logan Lucky and Den of Thieves are two newish ones. By no means amazing but enjoyable if you're a fan of the genre.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Sneakers

Good shouts. Really liked Sneakers however it probably hasn't aged well.

[Tony Moanero]

I never really understand what people mean when they say a film hasn't aged well. When I watch a film made and set in, say, the 70s or 80s, I accept it for what it is, enjoy it and don't feel the need to compare it to modern stuff.

Not just the film though, I mean Sneakers for example I watched when it came out when I was 16. 16 year old me really liked it, I may watch it now and realise the acting is terrible or the plot is full of holes and production a bit ropey.

 

I can think of many films I loved growing up but when you watch them back now they're actually not as great as you thought.

Killing Zoe, Heist, Straight Time, Le Cercle Rouge, The Driver, Thief.  

 

I wasn't a fan of Killing Zoe but repped for the others. A couple of overlooked gems in Thief and Straight Time.

 

Heat is probably the big Daddy of the genre I'd say.

[Tony Moanero]

Never seen Heat. Dog Day Afternoon > everything else, in my opinion.

[Trumo]

Rififi.
