Ocean’s Eleven, 2001
Here’s an IMDB summary:
With an elaborate scheme to strike it rich etched on his mind, slick con artist Danny Ocean contacts his friend and right-hand man Rusty the day he gets out of prison. And eager to get to work, the two partners in crime assemble a hand-picked team of specialists to rinse the impenetrable vault of stone-faced Las Vegas casino magnate Terry Benedict–$150 million in cash from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand, to be precise. However, such a robbery attempt is without parallel in the annals of crime. Can Ocean’s Eleven pull off the perfect heist and live to tell the tale?

This was hard because my runner-up is so great. You’ll see. My pick is Ocean’s Eleven because of its rewatchability. It’s one of my favorites, period. I could watch it right now and be very content. The lines are snappy. The pacing is fantastic. The actors aren’t bad to look at. Bernie Freaking Mac. You have Rust (Brad Pitt) eating for no reason in every scene. It’s great.
AND it has my favorite line of any movie in the past 20 years, from Reuben (Elliot Gould):
“Look, we all go way back and uh, I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place and I’ll never forget it.”
