The greatest mob movie thread sparked a lot of discussion, so I thought I would start a similar thread for another favorite genre of mine. The heist film.

With The Bank Job opening up tomorrow, I thought it's also timely to discuss some our favorite heist films.

To me, the greatest heist movie of all time is Dog Day Afternoon.

A new one I enjoyed was The Insideman. Denzell, Clive, Foster.
I really liked this one.:ninja: It ( the heist ) was planned very well.

I really enjoyed The Inside Man as well. One of the more clever endings to a heist film that I've seen.

i like Snatch too!

Mattrick

I didn't get to see all of Snatch but liked what I seen which was about the last 2/3rds.

Would movies such as Entrapment and Thomas Crown Affair count? I enjoyed both of those. Rene Russo has nice boobies

John Blaze

I can't believe you like Rene Russo. I like her acting but don't believe she is as beautiful as everyone else does.

Thomas Crown Affair should definitely count, though.

Mattrick
03-09-2008, 11:56 PM
I think she's beautiful in a lady, more mature way. There isn't anything overly extravagant about her. I wouldn't say she's in my top ten though. That is a very elite list for actresses to be on :thumbsup:

John Blaze

she was passable in Lethal Weapon. But never in my top ten either, no.

I think I liked The Bank Job enough to place it in my top 10.

I have a man crush on Jason Statham.

If you like heist movies (you're reading this thread so you must) then you should check this one out. Very cool and slick.

John Blaze
03-10-2008, 04:32 PM
i will.

I like Statham as well, in fact, i was so dissapointed they didn't use him for Hitman. He woulda been perfect for it.

I really like Statham too, but I thought he was terrible in The One, which I saw again recently. It may have just been his character, like when Norton was forced to be the Italian Job because he owed Paramount another movie under his contract. He sucked in that, but it wasn't really his fault.

John Blaze
03-10-2008, 04:57 PM
i actually liked him in The Italian Job.

do you know when the Brazilian Job comes out?

obscurejude
03-10-2008, 04:58 PM
I don't dude, let me know if you find out. Are they going to have minis again?

John Blaze
03-10-2008, 05:26 PM
i don't know, but that movie made me like them.

Still Servant

I really liked the Italian Job, but I have to admit, Norton did seem like he was phoning that one in.

Probably my least favorite Ed Norton performance.

As for the Brazilian Job, it's still a ways off. IMDB lists it as 2009.

John Blaze
03-10-2008, 07:45 PM
that sucks

The Score had a GREAT Norton performance.

I read that paramount made him do that movie because he owed them another one. It almost cost him the role in Fight Club, which would have been a tragedy. He was perfect for that one.

we was AWESOME in that one.

:lol: i meant he

he was awesome in Fight Club. So was Pitt

obscurejude
03-10-2008, 08:34 PM
:lol:

You weren't in Fight Club? I was Jared Leto's body double.

Pitt was cool, but a pansy. I kicked his ass outside of Lou's when the cameras were off.

I was Bob's body double, but I didn't want to say anything.... :ninja:

I shouldn't post at 3:30 in the morning when I'm delirious from drinking Red Bull, inverted push ups, and a paper on Nietzschean thought in Kafka. I think its going to be an all nighter. I'll probably catch a nap in my car right before class.

Could The Man Who Would be King count as a heist movie?

Yep, forgot this one. It was a great movie
