Classic Crime Caper Movies
Dan:
I could do with some inspiration for certain parts of The Swindle. There's a basic structure to the plot, but my knowledge of classic crime/ caper genre definitely feels lacking.
Suggestions for unmissable crime caper flicks?
Dan:
I've seen "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", obv. I'm thinking 60s stuff, really. But I'll watch anything...
The Sombrero Kid:
Riffifi springs to mind, i remember it being pretty slow but stylish & tense.
Ben:
The Sting, obv.
DRS is actually a remake, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to find the original.
Italian Job, but I know you've seen that.
Possibly some of the Ealing comedies - Ladykillers and Lavender Hil Mob, but they're not quite right.
Dan:
Never even heard of Riffifi, but it sounds brilliant. Looking into that one now.
Sure I've seen The Sting, but can't remember a thing about it.
@mockturtled suggested How to Steal a Million on Twitter, which I've seen but aaaaaaages ago when I was an teenager and therefore an idiot.
