Movie Recommendations (That Remind Us of Lupin III)

[SamuraiVibes]

I love a movie that reminds me of Lupin and the gang. I came here to recommend some movies and saw that there wasn't a thread for it yet! So, I'm gunna remedy that. Yall join in with your recommendations, please I'll be adding more as I think of them, or see a new one.

The first movie I'm going to recommend is called "The Linguini Incident". It stars Roseanna Arquette and David Bowie, and is about a wanna be escape artist waitress and a bartender who has a debt to settle. Both work for a very well off resturant and make a plan to rob it. Very funny and weird, definitely worth a watch if you like silly heist movies

Now for a more serious heist movie, "The Taking of Pelham 123(1974)". It stars Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. Three men take subway car Pelham 123 hostage for $1Million in cash. Lt. Zachary Garber must track the subway car and broker a deal to rescue the passengers, while also trying to catch the thieves! If you like a good ol "Will he catch them?" This is definitely a movie for you!

I ended up enjoying the Netflix movie "Red Notice" for it having at least a somewhat Lupin-y feel!

Honestly check out Tokyo Drifter (1966), anything by Seijun Suzuki is pretty fantastic. He actually went on to co direct gold of Babylon which is a little consider his filmography. Also if you're fine with the classics, Modern Times was a massive inspiration!
