Haha, MI?

Seen it and I can't remember the story line - that the one with the virus, or is that M:I2?

Cheers,
Mark

The first MI is the best in the series, by a long long way...

I'd have to give a vote to "Escape from Alcatraz" though.

The best heist film ever is "The Taking Of Pelham 123".

Great film that is often overlooked, must remember to watch my copy.

Bound (sort of)
Hackers (maybe)
Thomas Crown Affair (either version)
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

As for TV shows the obvious ones are Hustle and, of course, the A-Team

The Usual Suspects tbh

Inside Man (Denzel Washington) was surprisingly good

Another vote for Matchstick Men.

I though Shade was quite good too.

Edit: Boiler Room.

Early Stanley Kubrick film The Killing (1956) is worth adding to this list.

EasyG · 28 Mar 2007 at 15:13

heat easily

but i also recently watched "inside man" and that was really good as well.

Prison Break is cool for those who love it when a plan comes together

Season 1 anyway, gets a bit silly after that

I used to watch that a couple of weeks, but I got very bored with it. I watched it again 3 months later, and basically they got to the next building. Bit of a "slow-motion" prison escape if you ask me....

saw Kelly's heros a while back and liked it quite a bit, its basically a story of some US soldiers just after the normandy invasion they find and interrogate a german officer who gives away the location of some gold stolen by the nazi's and hidden in france. The soldiers decide to go after the gold and get rich simple!
