The Sting (1973)

This classic has inspired a slew of caper films and still holds its own against them. Paul Newman and Robert Redford demonstrate class and wit as they swindle an even more evil swindler.

Two cons team up and recruit a huge team to defraud a big time city gangster who had one of the their friends executed. The film tracks their big scheme.

The charm really comes from the two main actors and the elaborate sting operation. Really fun movie to watch with plenty of tension to keep it moving.
