The Asphalt Jungle (1950), John Huston’s faithful and excellent adaptation of W.R. Burnett’s great novel. An excellent film noir about a heist. Fine performance by Sterling Hayden. Marilyn Monroe has a bit part.

Raoul Walsh's High Sierra (1941) made stars of both Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino and it's an important proto-noir. Bogart and Lupino are both mixed up in a disastrous bank robbery and then they're on the run in the great outdoors.

Lacks the true noir visual style but it's a great movie.

Tip Not Included (Die Rechnung – eiskalt serviert, 1966), fourth of the German crime thrillers starring George Nader as ace G-Man Jerry Cotton. It's a heist movie and the heist is done well. A solid modestly budgeted crime thriller done with a reasonable amount of style and energy. Not the best of the Jerry Cotton movies but entertaining.
