Best Heist Movies

[Patricia Abbott]

After seeing the semi-pallid Ocean's Thirteen (okay, the guys looked pretty good), we got into a discussion of the best heist movies ever. Which movies stand out in your mind? For instance, someone said Dog Day Afternoon, but would that really count? Should a heist movie be mostly about planning and executing a heist and not sidebar into other issues.

The best I've seen in the past year are "Takers" , The Town" and  "Where the money is"

heist by Mamet is certainly one of my favorites. I haven't seen The Sting in a long time, but I seem to remember it being pretty excellent also.
