Re: Heists
A few more I just remembered:
Sneakers starring Robert Redford and Ben Kingsly and directed by Phil Alden Robinson. This movie is a bit old and dated, but a whole lot of fun involving cat and mouse cames and cryptography.
The Killing directed by Stanley Kubrick. This is a fucking great film about the robbing of a race track. It was made in 1956 before Paths of Glory, Lolita,and Dr. Strangelove. Sterling Hayden is amazing in this film as he is in the work he's done with Kubrick.
The Asphalt Jungle directed by John Huston. Another film starring Sterlin Hayden that is a dark gritty, noirish piece made in 1950. A major heist is pulled off and then things go awry.
The Good Thief written and directed by Neil Jordan and starring Nick Nolte. This was a remake/reinterpretation of Jean Pierre Melville's Bob Le Flambeur. When the film was released in 2003 not too many people caught the film, but it was really quite good.
Thief. Michael Mann's first film from 1981 starring James Caan as a memeber of a Chicago group of safe crackers. Definently worth a viewing. Mann hired actually crews that had been involved in many jobs to train the actors and give the film an authentic, realistic feel.
