Are we all engaging in some time theft or are we stealing something more? I’m not one to judge. Before next week’s post, here’s a curated watch list/hint at what’s next.
Ocean’s 11: Watch Steven Soderbergh’s (2001) and Lewis Milestone’s (1960)
Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Set It Off (1996)
The Italian Job: F. Gary Gray’s (2003) and Peter Collinson’s (1969)
Gone in 60 Seconds: Dominic Sena’s (2000) and H. B. Halicki’s (1974)
Out of Sight (1998)
My recommendations:
How to Steal a Million (1966), starring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole.
To Catch a Thief (1955), starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.
The Thomas Crown Affair (1968 and 1999). Watch both! The original starred Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen. The remake stars Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. (We’re long overdue for a Rene Russo-issance.)
Sneakers (1992), starring Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier and River Phoenix.
Flawless (2007), starring Demi Moore and Michael Caine.
Irma Vep (1996), starring Maggie Cheung.
Mauvais Sang (1986), starring Juliette Binoche and Denis Levant.
Heat (1995), starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
Le Cercle Rouge (1970), starring Alain Delon and Yves Montand.
Thief (1981), starring James Caan and Jim Belushi.
Point Break (1991), starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze.
A Fish Called Wanda (1988), starring John Cleese, Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Wait Until Dark (1967), starring Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin.
