Heat is rad, and not just because of the epic shoot out.

[–] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I recently watched Heat for the first time and it's so good. Both sides are portraid very well and I didn't know who I was rooting for until the very end.

There's a novel "Heat 2" that is both a sequel and a prequel. Apparently they are trying to make a movie.

Script is done, and it will be shot in Los Angeles. Apparently they’re going to start filming soon.

Mann is making both.

I am not bullshitting you.

The working titles are: Preheat and Reheat.

I haven't seen it in a while, but I have good memories of Ocean's Eleven

The Italian Job. (I’m sure I don’t need to say the original and not the remake).

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That ending, haha

Inside Man was really good.

Soderbergh’s Ocean’s 11 (original was also good, just like this one better).

To Catch A Thief (is this a heist movie?)

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Plus plenty of movies already mentioned, not least of which Hudson Hawk!

  • The Italian Job
  • The Wrong Trousers (Wallace and Gromit)

Rififi (1955) is great. It's also the source for many ideas used in later heist films.

  • Hudson Hawk - silly movie where the thieves use songs to sync up during heists
  • Kelly's Heroes - WW2 soldiers try and steal some Nazi gold
  • Thomas Crown Affair - if you can look past it being about a rich guy stealing art out of boredom, it's not bad
  • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Western, train heist, good dialog and characters
[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Love all of these. I think I actually prefer the newer Thomas Crown Affair to the original.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Old gold.

"The Split" with Jim Brown and Donald Sutherland. Based on a Parker novel

"The Hot Rock" with Robert Redford [comedy]

"The Killing" Kubrick's second movie.

"Kelly's Heroes" WW2 soldiers sneak in ahead of Patton's army to rob a Nazi bank.

The Hatton Garden Job films.

The Big Short

David Mamet’s “Heist”. Fantastic story, dialogue, and acting.

So many great one-liners.

“Your weight or your fate!”

“Everybody needs money. That’s why they call it ‘money’”.

And I might as well just link to the quotes page because there’s too many.

Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang, obviously. Couldn't be a self-respecting lemming otherwise!

How about most underrated? The Score with Robert De Niro and Ed Norton. Both bring their A game. Never seen a robbery done quite like that one. :) Give that trailer 20 seconds of your life.
