What are some great heist movies?
Rififi was on the other day and it reminded me of how much I enjoy this type of flick. So, what are some other worthwhile examples from this sub-genre?

I'm a master of the obvious so I'll say Reservoir Dogs.

Kubrick's The Killing
Jean-Pierre Melville's Un Flic
Ocean's Twelve (I know it's not well liked in these here parts, but I thought it was great)

Ocean's Eleven
The Score
Edited to add:
The Italian Job (2003)
Inside Man (not completely heist, but it does have one, and it's a great movie)

Re: What are some great heist movies?
My favorite, which combines the heist and gambling film is Bob Le Flambeur, but a number of the ones on Jim's list are excellent as well.

The Italian Job (1968)
The Italian Job (2003)
Criss Cross
Heat
The Killers (1946)
The Train
The Lavender Hill Mob
