The 15 Best Robbery and Heist Movies on Netflix

'Red Alert', 'The Army of the Dead' and its prequel, 'The Army of Thieves', remind us that if there is a genre that can brighten up a good night of streaming on our sofa, that is robbery and robberies Nobody likes to be robbed, but we don't know exactly what happens in the cinema, that suddenly the thieves are the most charismatic people in the world. It may be due to the heritage of Robin Hood, but if Godard said that to make a film a woman and a gun were enough, we believe that the most appropriate reduction to make a successful film is a thief and a policeman.

The genre, if we can call it that, has as many common places as original variants. There are those who make the thief and the victim, or pursuer, fall in love (here the series 'The paper house' would also have something to say), those who steal impossible things, from Cleopatra's eggs to dreams through identities. There are the thieves who become policemen and the policemen who were actually thieves. It is a genre as effective as it is full of variants that allows us to dive into the Netflix catalog until diamonds and safes come out of our ears.

To make the task a little easier, we wanted to bring together the 15 best films of this beautiful genre of theft, whether they are about white-collar robbers, bank robbers, pickpockets, magicians or zombies. Some, of course, you will find in our list of the best Netflix original movies, the best Netflix movies of this 2021 and, of course, the best Netflix action movies. But here we wanted to target a smaller, more subtle target, more like a diamond thief than a balaclava and a shotgun. Here we are talking about that type of film in which there is a PLAN, one with more charisma than the protagonists themselves, one of those that cannot go wrong but does so because, if not, there would be no film and this list would be empty.

These are the 15 best robbery, robbery and thief movies that we can find on Netflix Spain.
