Ocean’s Eleven, with an honorable mention for Ocean’s Thirteen (I thought the villain sucked in that one, sorry Al Pacino). Twelve and Eight are okay though I’ve only watched Eight once.

Like everyone elses favorite, I’m obviously biased in favor of mine. Ocean’s Eleven was a movie I watched nearly every day back in summer 2012, I would come home from my tiring bullshit dead end job, shower, and drink a pint of vodka while watching these 11 guys with very specific specialties rob a Las Vegas casino blind. I was fresh off a bad breakup where I got cheated on and dumped, I hated my roommates, I had no friends and was broke all the time. This movie and video games were the only things i looked forward to.

I don’t know the first thing about movies, have no idea wtf “cinematography” means, or what constitutes good editing (or even really exactly what “editing” is). Likewise I’ve thought something had good writing only to be told later that actually it had terrible writing. I’m sure it has plot holes, but I’m able to comfortably ignore those in favor of being entertained, and always have.

I guess I just like it because things go wrong with the heist planning and execution multiple times, but then one or two of the thieves swoop in with a crazy creative solution to the problem. They are almost supernaturally good at what they do while still being believable. They aren’t really friends at the start but they are by the end. I also always liked that they have their own language that you pick up the more times you watch it.

If that sounds like your particular brand of vodka, I’d recommend
