The 35 Most Iconic Caper Movies, Ranked by Crimereads
"The Caper is a sub-genre of the Heist film with its own specific rules & mood. The Caper sub-genre features films which are (overall) lighter & wittier than the standard Heist movie. While characters in Capers also frequently pursue large sums of shadily-acquired money or other items of value, these films are not necessarily about the acts of committing robberies. In a caper, items may be stolen, but they don't have to be; there can be swindling & cons and money-laundering and other forms of theft. A Caper can be madcap, zany, as well as, on a different note, extremely romantic or flirty. The Caper is where you'll find clever banter, silly sidekicks, gags, slapstick, and things generally going hilariously wrong. It's also where you'll find, more often than not, men in well-fitting suits who can't be trusted or other sexy cat burglars, and tons of romantic tension. We're looking at the most iconic movies in this category, and we are ranking them from 'best' to 'worst.' - crimereads.com
