Greatest "Heist" Movie - taking nominations

Going to define this a little broadly: any movie that revolves around a single "heist" set-piece, or a series of them. I am thinking a bit more in the action category than pure drama. So the actual heist(s) need to be a big part of the action, and not just a plot point. This is specifically to disqualify Goodfellas--because if it qualified there would be no need for a pole.
I have a few nominations to get the ball rolling:
Heat

To Live and Die in L.A.

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.
