Mine happens to be heist.
I love watching the characters think like masterminds and actually craft together a genius or sucky plan. It gets my adrenaline going and next thing I know I'm thinking of the nearest bank and rich person within a five mile radius. I know heist are illegal, morally wrong, and downright mean, but they are fascinating to me. Here is a list of some of my favorite heist movies.
+ I will be adding more as I see more of these genres.
So let's get started!
Ocean's Thirteen
I love the Ocean's series but this one is my favorite partially because I saw this one first. I love that George Clooney's character can mastermind the whole scheme perfectly and each person's role. Maybe it's because I like teamwork or revenge, but every character has an interesting and quirky role. Their are also a lot of memorable quotes and scenes.
Favorite Quote:
Rusty Ryan(Brad Pitt): Are you alright?
Danny Ocean(George Clooney): Yea, um, I just bit into a pepper.
Rusty Ryan: Is that..are you...are you watcing Oprah?
Favorite scene:
Virgil Malloy( Casey Affleck) and his brother Turk Malloy(Scott Cann): Evict the hotel reviewer.Priceless.

Sugar and Spice
Ahh. A group of teenage cheerleaders decide to rob a bank after the leader becomes pregnant. How can you not love this movie? With all the early 2000's clothing, thick cell phones, cheesy teen music, and humor. It's incredibly funny and I can never get tired with it. Especially since each one has their own flair:Lisa- Is always angry and jealous of the head cheerleader
Diane- Is the lead cheerleader and super popular. She becomes pregnant and after watching a movie with Keanu Reeves decides robbing a bank is the best decision to provide for her baby.
Cleo- Can she not be more in love with Conan O'Brien?
Kansas-She's an angry redhead with a lot of spunk.
Hannah-She's a goody two shoes saint.
Lucy-The brain
Fern- The daughter of the "Exterminator"
Jack-The charming quarterback.
Favorite Quote(s):
Diane: Morning Sunshine, remember, these are the best days of your life so far.
Hannah: I'm only allowed to watch G-rated movies.

Tower Heist
Sure it wasn't the greatest movie in a few ways. It was predictable and it wasn't an original storyline. However, I think the movie shines in the personality of two characters.Casey Affleck(Charlie) and Matthew Broderick(Mr. Fitzhugh). I personally think they outshine the others although they don't get the credit they deserve. It was overall a "good" movie and I got good laughs throughout it. The plan wasn't great but the journey they went through was perfect for me.
Favorite Quote:
Slide(Eddie Murphy): You the little seizure boy having seizures all the time

HeartBreakers
Now, this technically isn't a heist movie but they do steal money from people. It's a mother/daughter duo who seduce rich men and take their money. It's incredibly funny and interesting the story that is woven. It's funny, charming, and definitely will keep you entertained.
I haven't watched it in a while so I can't exactly remember or find scenes from YT but if you check out the trailer you'll get a taste of the movie.
