So you take away my hipster nomination of chInception before I can even start.
No matter, it's Heat and then everything else. -
Inception was on some random movie channel the other night. I tried to watch it again. It is visually stunning and has some great set pieces, but the story still doesn't make any fucking sense.GrundleStiltzkin said:So you take away my hipster nomination of chInception before I can even start.

And yeah, there is probably some deep metaphor there, but metaphors are ineffective when they don't make any fucking sense. -
Heat wins. The Town is a recent good one.

Heat
Everything else ever.

Good pull. As much of a douche as Ben Affleck is that was a good movie.RoadDawg55 said:Heat wins. The Town is a recent good one.

I think The Sting fits here - kind of - and it's a great flick.
-
I wouldn't have thought of The Usual Suspects, but since someone did, it gets my vote. Most people didn't know that Kaiser Solze liked boys. That's the hidden plot twist.

Hell or High Water fit? Good movie.

Missing the obvious.

I spoke on the phone a couple of times to Stephen Baldwin years ago. Didn't have the balls to say to him "Give me the fucking keys you cocksucker!!".

Thomas Crown Affair (I’m partial to the Steve McQueen one, but don’t mind the remake)
Sneakers (great ensemble cast, and one of the first movies that did a technology/computer plot well)
Out of Sight (peak Clooney and J.Lo - find your own pics) -

Google it yourself.

Snatch is way under rated and way awesome. My issue with Heat is that the good guys died in the end
Fistful of Dollars or For a Few Dollars more are my nominations -
It's great. Jesus is it long though.YellowSnow said:Shout out to @AZDuck . This is my favorite heist movie.

Haven't seen it yet. It is on my list.GrundleStiltzkin said:Hell or High Water fit? Good movie.

Out of Sight and Jackie Brown are really the only two good movies based on Elmore Leonard books, which is insane, because he wrote so many great books...most of which got turned into mediocre movies.Doog_de_Jour said:Thomas Crown Affair (I’m partial to the Steve McQueen one, but don’t mind the remake)

Reservoir Dogs is a close 2nd to Heat for me

Other than the ten or so minutes of the street shootout, Heat is boring as hell. Pacino has played better cops (Sea of Love and Serpico) and DeNiro has played better criminals (Godfather and Goodfellas). For all the THEY'RE BOTH ON SCREEN TOGETHER! hype, it was pretty underwhelming.
-
The Big Lebowski you fucktards.
-
Point Break
-
I'm too big a pussy to put these in order but my top 3 are Heat, Reservoir Dogs and Snatch.
Fuck it, Snatch is #1 for me. -
Thomas Crown Affair
The Hot Rock -
Most of the stuff with Deniro and his crew was entertaining. I agree that most the Pacino shit was boring, especially the stuff with his wife and step daughter.BearsWiin said:Other than the ten or so minutes of the street shootout, Heat is boring as hell.
