Top 10 Movie Heists
In our normal humdrum lives we abhor thieves and bank robbers, but a quick glance at the list of films below tells quite a different story. Indeed, some of the movies mentioned would not be out of place on most people's all-time top 10 films, never mind heist films. So what is it that makes us so fascinated by them? Is it that we wish we had the balls to do it ourselves? Most of the criminals involved get some kind of comeuppance and usually we're desperate to get out of banks rather than the other way around. So it is because they look cool while doing it? But they are not all cool. Look at Al Pacino's hapless bank robber in Dog Day Afternoon. So what is it? Well, we don't know. What do you mean you want answers? We're an entertainment site for God's sake, not Sigmund Freud! Actually, it's probably the guns. That and the fact there are so many of them they were bound to get a few right.
