My Favorite 💸 Heist Movies
The 11 movies below are some of my favories in this genre. Whenever this season or mood arrives, items from this list are my go-to comfort food. To qualify, a movie must be solidly in-genre and be highly rated (or purposefully bad). Either way, these are the cream of their respective crop.

Ocean's Thirteen
No crazy twists, but everything played nicely and there was a much more focused plot.
Sneakers
Great cast, cool soundtrack, good plot. Just fun overall.
The Italian Job
Most of the jokes didn’t age well, but the heist itself is good and it’s a great cast.
Now You See Me
A little too clever for its own good. More flash than bang. Still pretty fun and well produced with a great cast, but doesn't really stand to scrutiny
Logan Lucky
There was a lot to like. It was slow and the low key environment was a good change of pace. The characters were great and the cast was unreal. Great roles all around. The plot got a little confusing, but mostly got explained. Not the best heist movie, but not a terrible one.
How to Steal a Million
Charming old movie. Definitely a different style than today's heist movies, but definitely enjoyable.
The Thomas Crown Affair
Pretty good, but the pacing was strange. Not a lot of minutes of actual heists. Lots of sexy goings-on though
