Best Heist Movies

[acedrake]

I love the genre and I will like you guys to help me with the best heist movies that you can think of. Preferably if they get away in the end but ok if they do not. The movies I can think of right away is The Town and Inside Man

 

[nite-owl]

The Asphalt Jungle is my favourite heist movie.

 

[Sundancer]

For action it's hard to beat Fast Five, but Inside Man is one of my favorites along with Heat. I don't know if the latter counts since the heist isn't the actual movie's focal point.

 

[Tanin]

The Italian Job 1969

 

[Teelie]

I liked The Italian Job remake too. It is certainly not the best heist movie but it wasn't all that bad either. There's of course Heat which is probably a contender and Reservoir Dogs. Die Hard too is technically a heist but it's kind of pushing it.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Goldfinger is easily my favorite. Such a delightful romp, especially the raid on the Fort Knox Gold Depository at the end.

 

[Persona]

Rififi is definitely my favorite. by a pretty large margin. next up would be Le Cercle Rouge by Melville.

 

[gwynplaine]

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
The Killing
Big Deal on Madonna Street
Any Number Can Win ("Melodie en sous-sol")

 

[Duke]

Thunderbolt & Lightfoot is one of my all-time favorite heist movies, & also Heat.

 

[Ultimatehero]

Tower Heist -- is it as good as the Italian Job or Oceans films? Nope, but I would say it is the best film I've seen of regular Joes pulling off a heist.

[Rowsdower!]

Takers actually wasn't horrible, even if the poster did have the worst photoshop I've ever seen in my life.

 

[gwynplaine]

Thunderbolt & Lightfoot is one of my all-time favorite heist movies, & also Heat.

The Great Train Robbery
Sexy Beast
Does Dog Day Afternoon count?
TDK's Prologue

 

[Rowsdower!]

Sexy Beast... that was one weird-ass movie. I still don't know whether I liked it or not.

I remember finding it unintentionally funny, mostly because of the guy in the ugly rabbit suit.

 

[Persona]

guys, seriously, Rififi. someone back me up here.

 

[Duke]

I still need to see that.

If you like Eastwood, you'll enjoy this movie.

Takers actually wasn't horrible, even if the poster did have the worst photoshop I've ever seen in my life.

It's a decent action film to pass the time.

 

[Green Goblin]

Inside Man
