SUMMARY:NYE FILM FEST 2019: THE BEST HEIST MOVIES OF ALL TIME
DESCRIPTION:After last year’s exceeds-even-our-wildest-expectations Train Movie Marathon\, it took a long time to come up with a theme for this year’s New Year’s Eve Film Fest. Since we’re looking towards 2020\, we thought about roaring-twenties films. But\, Gatsby? Sorry\, no. Then\, we considered movies in which hindsight was less than 20/20\, i.e. films about memory loss or changing the past: Wild Strawberries\, Memento\, Eternal Sunshine…\, Dead Again. Only\, we figured those were a bit too blue for the beginning a new decade. \n\n\n\nThen\, we started listing movies we’ve seen dozens of times and still sit sit down to watch when they show up on tv\, commercials and all. For me\, those guilty pleasures were The Italian Job and the Thomas Crown Affair. From there\, we had our theme: Heist Films. We came up with a short-list of the best heist films of all time as our must-sees for NYE 2019 (with the caveat that the movies had to be films the kids hadn’t seen yet) and a long-list of our all-time favourite heist movies for the family to choose from to forge a 24-hour Heist Movie Marathon. For all we know\, it may be Heist Week or Month or Year…. Welcome 2020! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE DIAMONDS:HEIST FILM MUST-SEES\n\n\n\n[CLASSICS THE KIDS HAVEN’T WATCHED YET]\n\n\n\nBande à part\, Band of Outsiders (1964\, Godard) \n\n\n\nBottle Rocket (1996\, Anderson) \n\n\n\nHell or High Water (2016\, Mackenzie – Revenge heist!) \n\n\n\nInside Man (2006\, Lee) \n\n\n\nOut of Sight (1998\, Soderbergh – Clooney & J.
