Which movies have good bank robbery/heist scenes?

Something like the beginning of Dark Knight, where the criminals use a genius/complicated strats, and that is exciting and worth watching.

    Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

    Arthur Penn's film was super violent for its time and was the first film to feature someone getting shot point blank in the face. Not to mention being the first love story featuring a romantic lead with ***** problems.

    Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

    Sidney Lumet's Oscar-winning film based on the true story of a guy who tried unsuccessfully to rob a Brooklyn bank in order to pay for his boyfriend's sex change operation. Along with being a valuable cautionary tale on how not to rob a bank.

    Heat (1995)

    Michael Mann's Heat is not only one of the all-time greatest bank robbery movies, it's also one of the all-time greatest armoured truck robbery movies. So there's that. The film has also been blamed for inspiring several actual armed robberies around the world, which is a lot more than you can say for Dog Day Afternoon.

    Inside Man (2006)

    Inside Man is also noteworthy for being a Spike Lee "joint" with Caucasian characters who don't all totally suck. Unless maybe we were supposed to be rooting for the black cop (Denzel Washington) and not the white robber (Clive Owen), in which case maybe I missed something.

    Point Break (1991)

    Mixed in with memorable scenes of surfing monster waves, jumping out of planes, punting pit bulls and beating up members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kathryn Bigelow's total guy movie told the tale of best buds who liked to rob banks disguised as former presidents. Because presidents are the real criminals, after all.

    The Bank Job (2008)

    The Bank Job involves a tunnel under a fast-food chicken restaurant, photos of Princess Margaret having a threesome, intercepted walkie-talkie transmissions, the British secret service, vengeful mobsters, Sherlock Holmes, S&M, Black Power militants, corrupt cops, torture with a sandblaster, and even Mick Jagger. It's also based on a true story.

    Bandits (2001)

    Barry Levison's comedy is very loosely based on the true story of two thieves who had the bright idea of simply visiting bank managers at their homes at night and then coming into work with them early the next morning.

    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

    Seriously? You've never seen this movie? Stop reading this retarded list right now and go download it now.

    Dog Day Afternoon - Al Pacino back in the 70s. Based on true events. Real good.

    Please tell me you've seen "HEAT" with Robert DeNiro & Al Pacino.

    It was several excellent scenes, but it is all topped off by the incredible scene after the bank robbery.

    I won't say what happens in case you haven't actually seen it, but if you really haven't GO WATCH IT NOW.
