‘The Sting’ (1973)

Okay, so it’s more of a "con" movie than a heist, sure, but grifting is a key component to the thefts in the "Oceans" films. And we defy you to find a more suave pair of movie criminals than the ’70s-era Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

"The Sting" reunited the duo after "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" for a story about two Depression-era grifters cheating a mob boss. The film really makes the most of its throwback setting, right down to the ragtime music soundtrack.
