Greatest "Heist" Movie - taking nominations

Going to define this a little broadly: any movie that revolves around a single "heist" set-piece, or a series of them. I am thinking a bit more in the action category than pure drama. So the actual heist(s) need to be a big part of the action, and not just a plot point. This is specifically to disqualify Goodfellas--because if it qualified there would be no need for a pole.

I have a few nominations to get the ball rolling:

Heat

Ronin

To Live and Die in L.A.

The Usual Suspects

Snatch
 
So you take away my hipster nomination of chInception before I can even start.

No matter, it's Heat and then everything else.

Inception was on some random movie channel the other night. I tried to watch it again. It is visually stunning and has some great set pieces, but the story still doesn't make any fucking sense.

And yeah, there is probably some deep metaphor there, but metaphors are ineffective when they don't make any fucking sense.
 
Heat

Everything else ever.

I wouldn't have thought of The Usual Suspects, but since someone did, it gets my vote. Most people didn't know that Kaiser Solze liked boys. That's the hidden plot twist.

I spoke on the phone a couple of times to Stephen Baldwin years ago. Didn't have the balls to say to him "Give me the fucking keys you cocksucker!!". CSB.

Also the hidden plot twist of almost everyone on HH.
 
Thomas Crown Affair (I’m partial to the Steve McQueen one, but don’t mind the remake)

Sneakers (great ensemble cast, and one of the first movies that did a technology/computer plot well)

Out of Sight (peak Clooney and J.Lo - find your own pics)

Renee Russo is a naughty, naughty girl in the remake.

Google it yourself.

 
Snatch is way under rated and way awesome. My issue with Heat is that the good guys died in the end

Fistful of Dollars or For a Few Dollars more are my nominations
