Got the week off just want to download eat popcorn and binge.
Inside Man (2006)
Le Cercle Rouge (1970)
Borsalino (1970)
Un Flic (1972)
Bob le Flambeur (1958)
Before the Devil Knows you’re Dead (2007)
Ronin (1998)
Sexy Beast (2000)
Some obvious ones there that are worth a mention in case you’ve missed them.
Edit:
Things to do in Denver when you’re Dead (1995)
Bad Boys , not the Will Smith one but the earlier unrelated movie with Sean Penn. Really good action and some really wild fight scenes involving full cans of soda
A couple random ones:
Sneakers is the OG hacker film. If you haven’t seen it, it’s an absolute must. It’s a computer-driven heist film from the 90’s and even though the tech aged, the movie holds up beautifully.
Believe it or not, I’m gonna recommend Solo: A Star Wars Story. It is, at its heart, a sci-fi heist flick.
solo was great, shame its release was sandwiched between like 3 of the biggest movies ever and they canned the star wars story movies because of its poor sales
Yeah, it has its flaws, but I think if you just give it a chance and don’t obsess over the Star Warsness of it, it’s just a fun movie.
I can think of one, and you’ve probably seen it. Papillon from 1973 with McQueen and Hoffman in leading roles.
You might enjoy some of Woo Min-ho’s films. ‘Drug King’ (2018) is a biopic about a Korean drug lord in the '70s, while ‘Inside Men’ (2016) is a political thriller focusing on corruption in modern Korean society (criminal organisations influencing politicans and the judicial system). I’d also recommend Na Hong-jin’s ‘The Yellow Sea’ (2010), which is about a Yanbian taxi driver who falls into the criminal underworld after racking up huge debts via his gambling addiction.
Beware I have seen alot.

If you’re looking for something a little different in the gangster genre, the anime series Baccano! might be worth a try.
Public Enemy Number One (1953)
It’s a gangster comedy, so possibly perfect for you, but perhaps not what you are looking for right now.
Not movies (sorry!) but there’s a podcast called darknet diaries that has a lot of good cyber crimes, penetration testing, and even a few bank heists. Some are a little more techy but they do i decent job explaining things
Episode 72 is a bank heist. Episode 6 is a bank job.
Episode 102 is one on printing counterfeit money that is pretty good
Thought id share since i enjoy these when I’m not able to sit at a screen. Enjoy your time off!
Episode 102 is fantastic. I couldn’t believe half of what I heard in it. Wild.
The Wachowskis’ Bound, The Kitchen, and Flawless
How about some classic Danish heist movies? Olsen-banden ser rødt is one of the better in the series.
One I liked a lot is Layer Cake with Daniel Craig
Oldie but a goodie, Le Trou is a french film about a prison break, holds up great
