    Re: Heist Movies

    Check out Foolproof for a semi-recent example of a heist movie that's a comedy:

      How about Heist or Con specs?

      Any sold lately? I know Tower Heist leaked recently, wasn't impressed with that but it's bound to make money and the Now You See Me magicians heist spec that Orci and Kurtzman picked up.

      Besides that anyone know of a recent heist spec?

      Thanks guys, this is really helpful.

            I believe most of these are available in Limama's script library, and some are recent (last few years) specs:

            Man on a Ledge
            Drive
            The Brazilian Job
            The Bank Job
            Medallion
            Conviction by Jonathan Herman
            The Lookout
            Mad Money
            Out of Sight
            Takers
            Armored by James Simpson
            Armored by David Ayer and Andrew Kevin Walker

              Man on Wire

              This one is a little different because its a Documentary but I believe that it is one of the best heist movies ever made. The way the guy narrates that story gives you the perfect inside view and he is so energetic that it grabs you right away.

                  I don't normally look for heist movies, but I enjoyed
                  The Bank Job
                  Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

                  Wouldn't have thought of Man On Wire as a heist movie, but liked that one too.
