Classic With Michael Caine At His Youthful Best
Don't bother with the recent glitzy remake. The classic 1969 version starring Caine and Noel Coward as well as a bunch of other great actors in cameos is way, way better. Actually, the stars of the 1969 film are three Mini Cooper autos which the gang use to carry away the loot and out maneuver (NOT outrun) the cops. The remake is all special effects and edginess. The Caine film is all live action, full of suspense and hugely funny. Coward as the English mob boss is iconic. And it ends ambiguously! What recent film about a bank robbery would dare to let you imagine what happens after the film ends? There would be a shoot out and someone would win. This is so much better. You'll spend an hour arguing about it. Get this for your collection before it is no longer available.
