Favorite heist films?

Hi Simone!

Gotta be Steve McQueen!

The Thomas Crown Affair. In this film Steve McQueen played against his usual self as he was always cast ( he plays a smooth dressed banker ) . A man, he has everything but; he's bored stiff. To relieve his boredom, he sets himself a challenge. He sets out to rob a bank.

For me, its fast paced film. Tongue in cheek humour and the sheer audacity of this man, to rob a major bank. Added to that, he also manages to have fun with Faye Dunaway ( an Insurance Specialist ) and laugh further at the Establishment, popping 'em the finger.

The Getaway. A really good rugged story from a Jim Thompson thriller. A completely amoral film throughout, Steve McQueen at his best. Remake with Pierce Brosnan was quite good too.

B.Q. Frank Sinatra.

B.Q.2. Never. Would like to visit one day.

B.Q.3. A Mark Rothko painting from a major art gallery in Texas.

~ Le Circle Rouge - I bought this Criterion version of the film. Although it has one scene with some shabby editing, its a very entertaining film

BQ - Dean Martin

BQ2 - I haven't been there yet. I think I'd like to drive through the main strip at night with the lights blazing

BQ3 - I would probably liberate something from a museum over taking money from a bank. Some historic artifact that I find fascinating.

Best movie about Bank robbers:

Bonnie And Clyde

''Kelly's Heroes.'' Two words: Clint Eastwood. The update ''Three Kings'' isn't bad either, despite the presence of George Clooney.

BQ- None, really.

BQ2- Once, briefly.

BQ3- Some guns from a police station evidence locker.

Evening

The Italian job 1969 not the crap remake.

Just so British.

BQ Dean Martin

BQ2 Nope but been Blackpool.

BQ3 Cant have enough drugs.

Does "The Sting" count as a heist film? I guess it's more of a con film. So I'll say "The Italian Job"; the original, with Michael Caine.

Breaking Bad episode when they robbed a bunker of the train. That was cool :)

goodfellas

BQ2. Yes
