WOW! How none of y'all have The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3 (1974) on a list like this

Will probably make my honorable mentions

Just rewatched The Killing. So damn good. Brilliant noir/heist combo.

 

[HiphopRelated]

The Bank Job (Statham) was a nice one

On the comedic side

The Ladykillers

Had it on my DVR for ages after the thread and never peeped and deleted it for OCD reasons

how to steal a million is dope, I'm impressed it's being mentioned so much

I hate remakes, but if done right- that could make for a good remake

I didn't either..but when I going thru some titles to jog my memory on what I watched, I seen it come up. So i'm like if this is considered one I better not omit it.

I also wanted to put A Big Hand For A Little Lady but I don't think that meets the qualifications either

Spoiler: movie spoilers

it's not set up the way a heist is without giving out too much, but as heist is defined it could be a heist film

Or we actually like movies and don't just restrict ourselves to flicks that came out the decade we were born or after. Come on now homie, you're better than that. This is called the film room, not the "only movies made after 1990" room
