@sindarina [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.

@mycrowgirl @sindarina Rogue One makes me think about other movies about chancy, difficult wartime operations that take a ton of meticulous planning. It's a whole genre. And from there, is The Great Escape a heist(-ish) movie? What about other prison break movies?
