Got the week off just want to download eat popcorn and binge.
A couple random ones:
Sneakers is the OG hacker film. If you haven’t seen it, it’s an absolute must. It’s a computer-driven heist film from the 90’s and even though the tech aged, the movie holds up beautifully.
Believe it or not, I’m gonna recommend Solo: A Star Wars Story. It is, at its heart, a sci-fi heist flick.
solo was great, shame its release was sandwiched between like 3 of the biggest movies ever and they canned the star wars story movies because of its poor sales
Yeah, it has its flaws, but I think if you just give it a chance and don’t obsess over the Star Warsness of it, it’s just a fun movie.
I can think of one, and you’ve probably seen it. Papillon from 1973 with McQueen and Hoffman in leading roles.

Heat
If you’re looking for something a little different in the gangster genre, the anime series Baccano! might be worth a try.
How about some classic Danish heist movies? Olsen-banden ser rødt is one of the better in the series.
One I liked a lot is Layer Cake with Daniel Craig

The Wachowskis’ Bound, The Kitchen, and Flawless
Public Enemy Number One (1953)
It’s a gangster comedy, so possibly perfect for you, but perhaps not what you are looking for right now.
i was always partial to Attica
A bit outside your prefs, but James Bond parodies Our Man Flint (1966) and In Like Flint (1967) with James Coburn
I found it super interesting watching the original Ladykillers and the Coen Brothers remake back to back.
Original (with Alec Guiness and Peter Sellers):
Remake (with Tom Hanks and J.K. Simmons):
Watch the original!
