Topkapi (1964, Jules Dassin)
Doesn't hold a candle to his 1955 masterpiece Rififi. Still, good fun and entertaining to see the heist that Mission Impossible stole from (as intricately and carefully plotted and executed as Rififi's.) I appreciate the desire to lighten the mood and bring a little humor into this film, but I just felt like that fell flat and those bits didn't really work. Also some pretty beautiful cinematography from Henri Alekan, who has a semi-weird IMDB filmography.
