Deadfall (Bryan Forbes, 1968)
I'm not generally partial to heist movies, but this is pretty great. There was another movie I liked recently where the heist was over fairly quickly, I think that's the way to go. I like how it foreshadows the ending and how it builds up a lot of psychological tension that never really goes anywhere -- the one big reveal is kind of out of the blue and not that big a deal. Nicely shot too. One of the most suspenseful and entertaining movies I've seen in awhile.
