[edit: OPE! Totally overlooked the “recent” qualifier. I fail! But here’s my less recent list anyways.]
I do love a good heist.
I’m sure I’m missing a bunch that I’ll think of later, but these immediately come to mind (in order of release date).
Rififi (1956)
The Italian Job (1969*)
The Taking of Pelham One-Two-Three (1974)
A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
Point Break (1991)
Run Lola Run** (1998)
Ronin (1998)
Nine Queens (2001)
Rogue One*** (2016)
Bonus:
Pink Panther (1963) plus the other Sellers sequels.
The Guy Ritchie films of the early 2000’s for dumb fun.
*The 2003 was not as strong, but still fun.
**ok this one is only heist adjacent but it still hits the same vibe sometimes.
***It totally counts!
@mycrowgirl Ohh, yes, 'Ronin' is very good, I am pretty sure I saw that one in the theater back when it came out 😄
Great car chases. Should definitely do a rewatch sometime, amazing cast.
I have seen both Italian Jobs, and the remake of Pelham with Denzel Washington, and Rogue One is of course the best Star Wars movie of all time 😍
Will check the others, I think I've seen Point Break, but ages ago.
But have you seen Players (2012), the Bollywood remake of the Italian job?
The translations are something.
