@arroz I only worked out the Portuguese for grey (cinza) from the apple laptop colour space grey (cinza/cinzento sideral) because I’ve learned almost all of my Portuguese from reading websites and stores 😁

@typeswitch yeah, I agree - that’s got to be the hope. The presidential elections were pretty scary but the second round was definitively in favour of “not Chega” so I’m hoping that’s something.

Madeira (where I live) was scarily close though.

@sindarina @Ashedryden I’d say definitely Inside Man and possibly Highest 2 Lowest (both Spike Lee) depending on your flexibility, plus Jackie Brown if you are ok with Tarantino’s, er, unique voice.

Snatch (Guy Ritchie) is more of a caper but could count. Wrath of Man (same director) is more explicitly a heist.

And I’d finally throw out Heat (Michael Mann) as definitely _having_ a good heist. In fact, Thief is also excellent, and Public Enemies could count too (both Mann).

Finally, Catch Me if you Can (Spielberg) is very close in tone and emotional feel to Now You See Me, IMO.

Software dev, architect, lead. Also, music, motorsport, films, and @leymoo. Senior Staff Engineer. My views, not my employer’s. Previously: Feel free to ask or check my site, which is now less terrible. Profile: me, lit with purple disco lighting and with a disco ball behind one shoulder. Header: a street with nearby rooftops and a tree, and the ocean about 1.5 km away. Black Lives Matter. Trans Lives Matter. Late-stage capitalism is bad for people.
