No Right Answer: Best Heist Movie Ever

[LordMonty]

My disapointment is unwordable I second the complaint and also add this is all taken back if some how this was talking about the remake. Italian Job allt he way for me I am British so consider it bias if you must but its a much better film.

 

[gridsleep]

Either "The Thomas Crown Affair" or "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3." The originals, with Steve McQueen and Walter Matthau, not the crap remakes. "Ocean's 13" is a crap remake to sell George Clooney who is good but he's no Sinatra. "The Italian Job" is a crap remake to sell Fiats that aren't selling as well as German made Minis. If all these two fraternity bozos have to compare is crap remakes, this video isn't even worth watching. Which I didn't.

I don't even remember 13. 11 was great, and twelve was decent, but I remember not liking 13....gonna go and watch that tonite. Loved the Italian Job remake, so I'll have to go watch the original since it sounds different.

And Benedict was a dick, he admitted he cared more about his money than...I wanna say Trish. *IMDB* Tess...I was close...ish.

This one is Heat and it's not even up for discussion. And even if we remove that one from contention, who in the everloving fook picks one of the Ocean's movies and the THIRD one at that? Just wow. Fail on so many levels. Try again next episode.

But yeah. Heat.

 

[CrazymonkeyA17]

What about Inside Man?

 

[Eliwood10]

The only heist movie I ever really enjoyed is Inception, probably because it's premise is so different from your typical heist movie.

 

[octafish]

You're both wrong. The best heist film is Rififi.

Indeed. It is the heist film, all others are a shadow of its pure Platonic form.


In other news, get your skates on mate, get your skates on mate. No bib around your Gregory Peck today, eh? Drop your plates of meat right up on the seat. Get a Bloomin' Move On would have guaranteed the correct outcome. Quincy Jones FTW. Always.

 

[TheMemoman]

You guys another arbiter, Kyle's getting dicked way too much.

Also you both lose for not mentioning Heat.

 

[Farther than stars]

I don't think this will start controversy, because the answer was obviously the Italian Job none of us bothered watching the video to have that fact confirmed right? I must have just experienced some sort of hallucination where Oceans 13, _13_, _13_!!!, was named a better heist film than the Italian Job


I mean that would just be silly

Yeah, exactly. Ocean's 11 is better than the Italian Job though.

 

[RTR]

...I like Ocean's Twelve

Heat is a straightforward bank robbery, then it turns into one of the best shootouts ever put into a movie. One of the best parts? While most movies use dubbed gunfire sounds, Heat used the raw audio, echoing off the concrete buildings of downtown LA. Holy crap does that fight sound visceral.

That is one of my favourite shoot out scenes ever. Once when I was watching this in my apartment I got complaints from 3 sides about the TV being too loud (would have gotten 4 sides but I was on the ground floor).

And as you can tell, my vote would have been for Heat

 

[Odinsson]

You have to be kidding me! I feel robbed!

The Italian Job all the way.
The Oceans films do not even compare.

Name a quote from the Italian Job "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!", "Hang on a minute, I got an idea"

From any of the Oceans films... (nothing comes to mind)

'You tossers! You had one job to do!'
Which comes from the one cockney character in the film, strangely enough.

 

[Voulan]

I love the Oceans films. If it didn't win, I would have stolen all of your diamonds. To be fair though, I've never seen The Italian Job.

And I want that hot Yahtzee action caught on camera.

 

[Milanezi]

First and foremost: that Ben Affleck pic saying "I didn't get the job?!" was just hilarious lol

More important though: Heat, that's the best heist movie! As a matter of fact I always compare whatever "crime" movies I come across and heist sequences from games like GTA to Heat, which is why I love that bank robbery from Kane & Lynch as well the one from GTA IV so much, they almost allowed me to reenact the adrenaline pumping sequence of DeNiro and Val Kilmer getting away from the bank, full of money, and full of COPS going after them, I guess they had a five star mark of police on that sequence lol

 

[Daveman]

BULLSHIT.

Between the two, Italian Job without a fucking doubt.

Other great heist movies that best Oceans 13 are Inside Man, Heat, Point Break (in a way) and bloody DIE HARD (in a way).

Though without a doubt, the best ever heist movie is without a doubt...

Spoiler: The Parole Officer

 

[rayen020]

I seem to be in the minority that's happy with this because i like the ocean's films better than the Italian job. 12 is definitely the weakest, but i did like some parts of it. Ocean's 11 has a couple of holes in the heist part, but 13 is just good fun and funny.

 

[Kal-Adam]

Am I the only one here who thinks that The Anderson Tapes deserves some credit?

 

[Chris Pranger]

Either "The Thomas Crown Affair" or "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3." The originals, with Steve McQueen and Walter Matthau, not the crap remakes. "Ocean's 13" is a crap remake to sell George Clooney who is good but he's no Sinatra. "The Italian Job" is a crap remake to sell Fiats that aren't selling as well as German made Minis. If all these two fraternity bozos have to compare is crap remakes, this video isn't even worth watching. Which I didn't.

First off, neither Kyle or I were ever in fraternities, thank god.

Second, Kyle argued for the original Italian Job, so you kinda sound like you're just looking for reasons not to like us. I'd say watch the video since you'll get plenty of legitimate reasons from there.

Best Heist Movie Ever

This one's going to start some controversy. Can Ocean's 13 stand up to The Italian Job for best Heist movie? Chris thinks so, but do you?

Watch Video

7:38 You misspelled argument!

Boo to us. Let the self-flogging begin. Thanks for spotting that!

 

[Endocrom]

While it's not really a heist movie I remember liking Sneakers with Dan Aykroyd

Strange connection between these two movies (aside from the whole heist bit), Eddie Izzard, Eddie often talks about The Italian Job and was in Ocean's 12 and 13.
