Edgar Wright's Top 10 Heist Movies10 of 10
1. Heat (1995)
"Heat is the granddaddy of heist movies because Michael Mann takes a relatively simple bank heist and turns it into something epic. The movie is nearly three hours and you’re tense for the entire thing. I remember seeing it for the first time, knowing that bank heist was coming and there was going to be a big action scene. The anticipation of that set piece kicking off, I remember it vividly. The set piece itself is so brilliantly shot and vivid and loud. The whole film is just incredible. "
