The Gentleman's Drink - 012 - Heist

First I need to say that Heat is, by a large margin, my favorite movie of all time. As far as crime sagas go, it's one of the most thoughtful and exciting films ever made....in this man's humble opinion of course. I could easily go on for hours, and if the day comes that I finally make the journey to your locale I will spout countless reasons why it will (or should) go down as one of the best films....EVER. I actually paused the video the second the clip from Heat came on cause my heart started racing (no shit, that's how much I love this film) and I had to express my passion for it. I am now restarting, and hopefully you don't rag on it too much, or I will have to spend the next hour of my life typing focused and vigorous responses why you are wrong....so, here we go.....

Ben, I also have a man crush on Keanu Reeves. I'm sorry Mr. Oaks, but Point Break is a piece of cinematic history, it's on countless top ten heist movie lists (at least of the crew I run with) and boasts a certain Mr. Patrick Swayze, and lets not forget Gary Busey, creating a trifecta of manliness and awesomeness that still echoes in the hallowed halls of heist film greatness. While I definitely appreciate Mr. Jackman's work, and I am hard pressed to think of someone who could better represent my favorite X-Man, he has yet to make a film that will resonate as completely as Point Break. Okay...next...

Alright not much else to say here. Hreat episode. Greg I'm really happy you included Ronin in tonight's episode, that is one the unsung heroes of the action/heist film world and it deserves more recognition. I have all kinds of suggestions for movies, but one taht sticks out that I've seen most recently is The Bank Job starring Jason Statham. Absolutely fantastic movie. I've got a whole library full of movies like this so if you would like some more obscure but good ones let me know....great work guys!
