Defining what a heist is gets tricky. Is The Spanish Prisoner one? To Catch a Thief?

Posted by David (aka Callisto) Dec 2 '09, 13:48

I agree that Die Hard simply has to be on that list, but I'm pleased that they got Quick Change right.

Responses:

While I enjoyed Quick Change, when I think heist movies I think drama, not comedy, so that wouldn't have made my list. -- nm - Stephen Dec 2, 14:01
in a sense could you count POW or jail escape movies? -- nm - zork Dec 2, 13:50 1
- On escape films, I'm inclined to say no. With POWs, you are kind of stealing something, so that one could go either way. -- nm - David Dec 2, 13:51
This is my thought, too. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 13:49
