9 'Gun' Films Featuring Bank Robberies

ANOTHER LIST
I’ve only just seen the 2007 release The Lookout, a subtly powerful film that revolves around a bank heist. And it got me thinking ’so what are the best movies involving bank robberies?’
So, HERE THEY ARE, in this writer’s humble opinion anyway. Most are movies specifically about the robbing of banks, while others may have simply featured a damn good one.

Another one I liked was Killing Zoe. But that's mainly because I got to see Julie Delpy's tits.
The best bank robbery of all time, though? The Testing of Eric Olthwaite.

Dog Day had to be - brilliant movie.
Didn't mind Out of Sight, but then you've got bloody J-Lo in there, which brings it down a peg.
Couple you mentioned I haven't heard of, let alone seen - Riffifi and Charley Varrick - but have been meaning to check-out The Getaway for some time.
Thanks for reading.
Cheers
