@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?

@hattifattener @mycrowgirl The scope really starts to creep at that point, though. Like, by that definition, 'The Guns of Navarone' would also be a 'heist-ish' movie 😄 https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10911-the-guns-of-navarone And the same would be true for other 'small but very competent team against impossible odds', such as 'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare', which I also loved; https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/799583-the-ministry-of-ungentlemanly-warfare So even though I opened that door by allowing Rogue One, I would still draw a line, well, somewhere 😂
