The original 1974 version with the rat pack. This is a group of 11 buddies who are veterans from the 82nd airborne division who are brought together by Danny Ocean to pull off the perfect heist in Las Vegas. Mostly I am interested in how poorly this holds up. By modern heist movie standards, not enough detail in the planning is shown, not enough clever plot manipulations to surprise, and the protagonists don't win. As a modern heist film, it sinks. As a 70's heist film, pretty good.
