Slashfilm's 30 Best Heist Movies of All Time
"Heist movies transcend genre. You can have frivolous, fun heist movies like 'The Italian Job,' or heartfelt, straight-faced ones like 'Point Break.' The heist itself can be meticulously planned and meditative, like the one in 'Inside Man,' or it can fall apart before it even begins, as in 'Good Time.' Either way, there's little in cinema more satisfying than watching a complex robbery come together — or seeing it crumble into pieces. To be clear, this is a list of heist films, not movies about con artists: standard tropes include planning the mission, gathering a team of colorful experts, and so on. For our purposes, the heist — or heists, if there's more than one — needs to be the focus. In the following movies, the plots revolve around robberies, which the films either build to, or which serve as major turning points in the stories. In either case, these are our picks for the greatest heist films of all time, ranked from worst to best." - slashfilm.com
