Looking for movies like 'Snatch', 'Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels', 'Heat', 'Way of the Gun' stuff like that I know this is something you all can help me with. And also I need to know where I can get the best price for DVDs.

 

[Prospero]

I liked the recent remake of The Italian Job.

 

[evil ways]

Ronin is pretty cool.

 

[Prospero]

Ronin is pretty cool.

Yeah, +1 Ronin as well, esp. if you like car chases filmed at speed.

 

[sefskillz]

Michael Mann's Thief with Jimmy C!

 

[type9]

The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3

 

[ThirstyFly]

Check out "Sexy Beast" too.

 

[warhead]

The Italian Job, the original version that is, ending is a bit shitty but it's still a damn good movie.

 

[Richiban]

I really dug the Rat Pack version of Oceans 11.

 

[FnordChan]

The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3

Seconded.

A great heist, lots of humor, oh-so-70s, well paced at about 90 minutes, and completely freakin' awesome.

Nothing beats the Soderbergh Ocean's 11, in my opinion. I can watch that movie at any time and still enjoy it.

 

[swoon]

Seconded.

[Team Rancid]

I really dug the Rat Pack version of Oceans 11.

I thought I was the only one. Better ending too.

 

[Priz]

I also liked "Heist". Lots of plot twists and overall entertaining:

Thirded on the Rat Pack Ocean's 11.

 

[Asbel]

I liked The Thomsas Crown Affair best out of the remakes. The lead chick is like 40 but the heist is clever without being over complicated. There's more of a sense of fun to the movie too.

 

[thomaser]

The Sting! Great music too

 

[COCKLES]

Big Guns and Monica Bellucci!

Fuck the shitty remake. Caine...Noel Coward and Benny Hill!

 

[Uncle Dukey]

And also I need to know where I can get the best price for DVDs.

DeepDiscountDVD is pretty good.

 

[VPhys]

Another vote for Sexy Beast.

 

[Shinobi]

Rene Russo could be 50 and I'd still hit it. She's just sexy as hell.

As for my recommendations...

(Due out Feb 22)

(Hey, it covered the largest US heist ever!)

 

[Gorey]

Definate vote for Ronin

Usual Suspects is also great, but that's something you've probably seen.

 

[Shinobi]

Damnit, I knew I forgot one...

The legendary chase scenes alone make it worthwhile, but movie itself is a pretty cool ride as well. Nice performances by Deniro and Reno as well.

 

[White Man]

Not a fast-paced heist flick, but I think Jackie Brown could be recommended. Even if you don't like it, you get to hear Samuel L. Jackson curse for over 2 hours.

 

[AlphaSnake]

+10000 to Shinobi. My vote is also:

:lol So true...

Someone talks about Jackie Brown... and who can the poster forget to mention this:

Bridget Fonda in the pink bikini. Mmmm...

 

[Gorey]

Semi off-topic, but it's awesome they're releasing a new version of Heat. That flick just doesn't get enough credit. Awesome everything-is-going-to-shit gunfight +1,000.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Of all these... I'd have to go w/ the Score... Fact: Marlon Brando had an ear piece so that he could have his lines fed to him... You kind of notive it if you watch that scene w/ that in mind.

The Italian Job (remake) is a great film as well. Done by F. Gary Gray of 'Friday' fame. Great cast and no CG! Got to give them props for that.

Ocean's 11(remake) I never really liked. Seems like all that star power is wasted, as none of the characters really pull you in. I found myself not caring about any of them. I liked Don Cheadle tho.

Oh sh!t... How could I forget these two classics?!

[RedDwarf]

A big +1 to Dobermann. The Killing by Stanley Kubrick is also great, but not very fast paced if that's what you're looking for.

I'm looking more for good movies. A good movie trades like gold around here. I got fast pace near by.
