NPR Show "Talk of the Nation" discusses the Greatest Caper Films of All Time on their show/blog.
Check it out.
I was very glad to see them mention my all time fav, Rififi.
As with these types of discussions, everyone always thinks there are oversights.
I would have loved to have seen Le Cercle Rouge and Bob Le Flambeur on the list. It didn't spring to mind at first but Heat is an amazing caper film. Possibly the best gun fight in any film ever, and the sit-down scene between Pacino and DeNiro is superb. As far as comedy capers Welcome to Collinwood is excellent, as well as Palookaville.
I'm very intrigued by the Jules Dassin move they mentioned in the story, and will be checking that one out soon.
