Ocean's 11 (1960)

   Ocean's 11 is a great movie featuring the rat pack plus a few others. While the dialogue was hard to follow at first, I soon caught up and got engrossed in the story. They didn't change much in the remake so if you have seen the more recent one with George Clooney and Brad Pitt you know the general premise. Brilliant thieves in Las Vegas trying to rob the bank. A little less technology was used but they did have some sweet spy stuff back in the 60s! I actually prefer the original to the remake, so if you haven't seen it yet I would recommend it. I got the original and the three newer ones in one dvd case for $15 at target, which is a steal! Sidenote- it would be awesome to be a lawyer who only deals in copyright things like handling a remake of a movie. It would be awesome to be a lawyer in general. But anyway check this movie! Super smooth and suave! 7.5/10!

  14. I've heard the original is a lot better, so I'll have to watch it. The remake was pretty good.

  15. The original Ocean's 11 was pretty freakin boss, yeah. The plot to 12 pissed me off a bit because of how it made half of the movie an exercise in pointlessness, but it still turned out to be an OK movie. 13 just plain pissed me off and never became a good movie.

  17. This seems interesting enough as a film but I can't see how being a copyright-lawyer would be awesome. It'd feel like selling your soul.

  19. The remake had it's moments but the original is still the best. It had the Rat Pack for the sake of all that is good in movies. Of course I'd prefer that.
