Which heist movie/series has been your favourite?

[-]

BoredAccountant@reddit

The Thomas Crown Affair remake.

The Italian Job remake.

Ocean's 11 remake.

I'm sure the originals were good in their time, but the remakes were more relevant. Even then, the stories are dated. They were all pre smartphone. Just imagine how much the world has changed.

Nothing will ever come close to the masterpiece that is Heat.

[-]

knowsnothing316@reddit

Think Ronin is still underrated. Car chase scene was up there with Bullit’s

[-]

FaluninumAlcon@reddit

Maybe not my fav, but I'm a sucker for a rwd converted subie -- baby driver.

[-]

gerardkimblefarthing@reddit

Ronin and Heat are my go-to selections.

[-]

Ever see The Spanish Prisoner? Also Mamet like Ronin.

[-]

maritimursus@reddit

Ronin having a 69% RT score is baffling to me

[-]

MistaRekt@reddit

Sean Bean was excellent in 'Ronin', in my humble opinion.

[-]

SledgeH4mmer@reddit

He's excellent in a lot of movies. He crushed his role in Golden Eye, which I think is the most memorable Bond film from the 90's.

[-]

Slim_Margins1999@reddit

One of the best period, but def the best from the 90s. They got super corny by The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day was, pretty bad

[-]

46handwa@reddit

Same, felt I had to scroll too far for Ronin here. Immaculate film, just like Heat

[-]

amccune@reddit

Just absolute craziness in the chase scenes. So good.

[-]

IHkumicho@reddit

Absolutely my favorite as well. As soon as you're done watching it the first time you want to go back and re-watch it almost immediately.

[-]

drunkatdesk@reddit

Love how slippery christopher Plummer is in this movie. Denzel’s swagger. Jodie’s pout.

[-]

Shadeun@reddit

Also Chayya Chayya from the soundtrack is a massive banger

[-]

Cosmohumanist@reddit

Den of Thieves was awesome. Closest film to Heat I’ve seen. The second one was okay, lot of plot holes. But the first one is legit

[-]

MistaRekt@reddit

Since the sequal dropped have been meaning to do a marathon. Barely remember the first one.

[-]

MistaRekt@reddit

Well. To be fair I can only just stream both on my subscription services now. So there is that.

[-]

Elevenyearstoomany@reddit

I love the Ocean’s Eleven with George Clooney. Great cast, super fun movie.

[-]

Yep_why_not@reddit

God I loved Sneakers as a kid. Need to rewatch it.

[-]

Acceptingoptimist@reddit

So underrated. The cast is a fever dream.

[-]

If it weren’t such a weird 90’s moment in most of their careers, you’d think it was a billion dollar movie. Come on, Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Ackroyd, Ben Kingsley, James Earl Jones, River Phoenix? And the script is GOOD? Come on.

[-]

Acceptingoptimist@reddit

Don't forget David Strathairn, Mary McDonnell, Tim Busfield from Field of Dreams and it's even got Stephen Tobolowsky AKA Ned Ryerson from Groundhog day.

[-]

gerardkimblefarthing@reddit

Even Donal Logue of Blade and Grounded for Life fame!

[-]

gerardkimblefarthing@reddit

Almost forgot! Logue was also Jimmy the Cab Driver in the 90s MTV promos, where he poorly described music videos for people.

[-]

NED?!

Cooper_Sharpy@reddit

Everybody has mentioned most of the greats, but I haven’t seen anybody mention The Score with Robert De Niro, Ed Norton and the final appearance of Marlon Brando. Excellent film and the acting performances are stellar.

[-]

JusticeFrankMurphy@reddit

I was just gonna post this. Highly underrated movie that has flown under the radar for some reason.

[-]

Cooper_Sharpy@reddit

The way they use water to blow up the safe is one of my favorite mechanics in any heist movie because it’s actually realistic

zencatface@reddit

Heist with Gene Hackman from 2001 is THE most underrated movie in the genre. It's a David Mamet script also staring Sam Rockwell, Danny Devito and Delroy Lindo. Gorgeous film.

[-]

VoddieMC@reddit

Cracking dialogue. Twists and turns everywhere. One of my absolute faves.

[-]

prenderg@reddit

“ Everybody loves money. That’s why they call it money” - Danny Devito.

[-]

CubesFan@reddit

I missed this one. I'll have to check it out. Hackman is one of those actors where I don't actually think of the movies he's in as favorite movies, but whenever someone brings one up, I remember it being really good. It's like a band that I only listen to if someone else plays them around me, but I always start bopping to it.

Ocean's 11 was pretty much perfect, imo.

hard agree. and even if the other two weren’t as good, it was still fun to see what they were up to

[-]

AEternal@reddit

I don’t think I’ve laughed harder at a scene than the Julia Roberts scene in 12.

[-]

rohm418@reddit

Probably the best part of the entire film. 11>13>12>8

Logical-Cherry9395@reddit

IDK, Oceans 13 was pretty damn close to Oceans 11.

It’s a reverse heist, but it’s still a heist movie. And it’s easily in my top 20 movies of all time.

[-]

Logical-Cherry9395@reddit

I still love the first Now You See Me. One of the best parts of that is realizing a lot of the footage between Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg is ad lib and improvisation. The two have a genuine affection and chemistry and the director just started filming it. Elsa Fischer and Dave Franco chime in and participate, making it even more believable as part of the script, but it's the banter between Harrelson and Eisenberg that sells it.

The Town is the perfect bank robbery movie IMHO. Has everything a movie needs.

Other good heist flicks: Point Break, Reservoir Dogs, Baby Driver, Inside Man, Swordfish (a bit cheesy but decent), Heat, Army of the Dead, and the list goes on…

A few that aren’t my cup of tea, but friends like include Den of Thieves, Stander, Ambulance, The Lookout, and The Order.

Heat is probably at the top for a heist flick. The gunfight is s-tier 90’s action. The character development and story are also solid. Ocean’s 11 is up there. Great movies
