I need more movies like this. ones where amazing things happen and they're explained later, or ones that make you think hard and screw with you until your brain starts to bleed a little.

for example: The Illusionist, The Prestige, Law Abiding Citizen, or other awesome/classic heist movies like Italian job, Bank Job, the Ocean's series, etc.

please post suggestions for us all to enjoy until someone gets mad that this is similar to the other 8,000 movie threads. they do not help my quest.
 
And I looove the Sherlock movies, 10/10 for you! Vantage Point was another one I forgot to mention
 
Sherlock Holmes was awesome but Inside Man is probably my favorite heist/robbery movie.

Italian Job is pretty good too.
 
Classic Heist Movies (20th century):

Reservoir Dogs

Heat

Dog Day Afternoon

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Point Break

Modern Heist Movies:

Public Enemies

The Town

The Bank Job

"Takers" was ok i guess
 
Although it's not a heist movie, Shutter Island is one of those movies that has a plot going one way, then completely changes and the real story is revealed in the end. I
 
Man on a Ledge was really good, other people didnt think so but I liked it.

Inception-love movies like that, not a physical heist but a mental one. Mind is full of fuck at the end and I completely love it
 
Not really Heist but I love the james bond series with danial Craig. New one coming out this November, so stoked. Also a huge fan of the Sherlock movies, the ending to the latest one was fantastic, and of corse te Italian job/oceans are also some of my favorite movies.

the bourne legacy was awesome except for being half a movie. idgaf
 
Also not a heist movie, but Meeting Evil with Samuel L. Jackson is awesome. Very trippy movie that you have to actively follow to stay on top of things.
 
I guess Drive is kinda a Heist movie that one was sick. One of the best of 2011 to me.

Also i watched "end of watch" recently. Its not a heist movie but if you like those kind of movies you'll like it. Only thing i'll say about it is, its fucking raw.
 
The die hard movie that came out a few years ago was one of THE BEST action movies I've ever seen. it did have an intelligent plot
 
While it's not a heist movie I feel it should be mentioned, I think The Departed is a fantastic movie.

Also Heat is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. Between the fairly realistic shoot outs to the acting done my DeNiro and Pachino.
 
really... no one has put the usual suspects? that movie=massive mind fuck at the end because your mind becomes increasingly fucked as it unravels
