There's also gone in 60 seconds (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187078/). Not sure about it being one of the best, up to you.

Le dernier tunnel (http://imdb.com/title/tt0373788/)
The story is very similar to what append this week in Brazil.

Jackie Brown (http://imdb.com/title/tt0119396/)

A little on the Action side, but what about Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider? Also National Treasure has some theft action, it was actually pretty good.

And then there's Half Baked? Ok, well, it's not really a "theif" movie, but they do try and steal weed with hilarious consequences.

Thanks for pointing that out to me, I almost forgot that the 2001 version was a remake :P

I always love a good adventure film. Although tomb raider is looks to me more like a cash cow. But yeah, National Treasure and the Indiana Jones trilogy may be taken as thief movies. Thanks ;)

- Ordinary Decent Criminal

Matchstick men is more of a scam movie than a thief movie, but a thief who doesnt lie is not a thief at all. Nice thief movie :P
Payback... I dont think Payback is a thief movie. I mean, there's no plan to steal something, there's not a single complex plot (except for the girl, it always has to be the girl), and there's no thief music. But excelent movie though.

maybe the second one is, but organizing a group, making a plan, and having to _steal_ something (the TOC list) can be considered as a thief movie... or at least in part. :P

point taken though, so it's out of the list

I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner but Reservoir Dogs (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105236/) is DEFINITELY a theif movie and a kick ass one too.

actually, most of what Trantino is involved in is.

True Romance, stealing drugs
Pulp Fiction, stealing the thing in the briefcase
Dusk til' Dawn, robbing a convenience store
Jackie brown and Reservoir dogs were already mentioned.

Thief movies? Robin Hood? Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. The Robin Hood with Kevin Costner can't even be called a decent movie, let alone one of the best thief movies. You'll have to use Men in Tights ;)

What about The Maltese Falcon?

I know it's really old, but it qualifies, I think.
