I think it's totally forgivable to mix them up, because while they don't look a like, Julia Roberts handed over the "America's Sweetheart" crown to Sandra in the mid-'90s. Their careers are similar enough that you could easily see them swapping movie roles without missing much of a beat.

5:01 Rusty (Brad Pitt) says... "Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever!" This list of cons was created by director Steven Soderbergh and a screenwriter that described the type of people and cons needed to knock over the three casinos: Boesky - Saul playing Lyman Zerga. This is a reference to Ivan Boesky, a big-time trader on Wall Street who got caught committing securities fraud. The con is about a wealthy bankroller who has insider information. Jim Brown - the confrontation between Frank Catton and Linus Caldwell, staged to distract Terry Benedict so that Linus can lift the security codes to the vault. Named for the famous American football player Jim Brown. Miss Daisy - the SWAT vehicle used as the getaway car. From the movie Driving Miss Daisy (1989). Two Jethros (from The Beverly Hillbillies (1962)) - the Malloy brothers. "Hillbilly gear-head types" hired to take care of Miss Daisy, distraction purposes, and for general two-man work. Leon Spinks - the disruption of the boxing match. This refers to the surprise victory of Leon Spinks over Muhammad Ali. Ella Fitzgerald - the looped tape of the robbery that is played over Benedict's security system. A reference to a 1970s commercial for Memorex, in which a recording of Ella Fitzgerald's voice breaks a glass and the question is posed to the viewer: "Is it live or is it Memorex?"

At the poker table when we first see Brad Pitt and George Clooney together, those are all young (at the time) Hollywood actors playing themselves: Topher Grace from That 70's Show, Holly Marie Combs from Charmed, Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek, Barry Watson from 7th Heaven, and Shane West from A Walk To Remember. Brad Pitt was teaching them poker, and was more than happy to take money out of their pockets to help George Clooney win that hand (he gives the actors bad advice on the bluff, he knew George was not bluffing).

[@lepton4]

a fun note from that scene is when Pitt comes back into the room Topher and Clooney are talking about making the move from TV to Movies. George says - isn't it hard and Topher like - not for me. Plus the irony of Pitt and Clooney walking out of a club with no fan fare but Toper Grace is then mobbed for autographs is another joke.

[@plothole181]

I always forget about A Walk To Remember when I'm thinking about Shane West's big hits. From this era I more knew him from the series Once and Again.

Saul is portrayed by the late Carl Reiner, a legendary comedic actor, and longtime friend of Mel Brooks. Also the father of Rob Reiner, known for, among other things, directing "The Princess Bride". Frank/Ramon was portrayed by the late Bernie Mac, who was, as you mentioned, in "Bad Santa". Another brilliant heist movie I think you would appreciate is "The Score".

[@harveylee51]

@mkang8782 Some great comedic legends in this as it's such a great heist film and don't forget Elliot Gould Ashleigh may remember him from the movie M*A*S *H The Score is a good one too as it features three generations of Method Actors Marlon Brando , Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton .

[@charlesballard5251]

I saw "The Score" the day I got to San Diego for the Comic-con over 20 years ago (That would have been a Wednesday, and possibly the day it opened). You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw "Directed by Frank Oz" on the screen. I had no idea the man was directing.

The line “I don’t have a cellphone” would never work in a modern screenplay ever again

[@blechtic]

A very privacy-concerned individual might simply keep their phone at home, maybe with a pre-paid plan. Or not have a phone plan on it, relying on public WiFi, VPN, Tor and non-identifying internet phone or other services. The former option would be the nothing-to-track, likely directly unidentifiable, though network-locatable and phone-tappable option. The latter would be the mostly untrackable option, except possibly through the services used and circumstantially connectable to specific cases of use through time-stamping and other surveillance, e.g. security cameras. If you're robbing millions and don't want to leave electronic traces where smart, thorough and inscrutable people might find them, leave your devices elsewhere.

[@blechtic]

Oh, I see the context. Well, if you're not into social media and simply want to enjoy, especially if you're a VIP with a driver and a lot of money and pull, it's kind of a power move. Your gorilla can just hand you a phone if you need one. But I suppose people *are* addicted by now.

[@EmonEconomist]

"I don't have *my* phone" might still work though. Especially since her dress doesn't look like it has pockets, and she might not have wanted to keep her phone in a coat pocket if she was planning on taking it off. Bit more of a stretch, but still doable.

[@Tconlon251_2]

It’s really the one thing that truly dates the movie. You might not immediately notice the makes & models of the cars, think twice about the “up and coming” celebrities, or pay attention to the style of the computer monitors, but that cell phone line really stands out

[@the_nikster1]

I haven't seen anyone mention it, so I'll fill you in: the SWAT van was one of the two vans that Frank (Bernie Mac) bought at the car dealership. in that scene and later scenes, we only ever see the small white van in full. the glimpse of the other van is the pine tree air freshener hanging on the rearview mirror, which we see again during the SWAT reveal. I've seen this movie so many times and love it! there are so many layers to their heist, which makes the outcome so satisfying when it all goes (mostly) according to plan.

[@samuelmoulds1016]

aaah...... actually..... the two small vans purchased from Mr Denim were 1) the van used to carry 'the pinch' and was destroyed in a parking lot during the heavy weight championship fight, and 2) the van filled with 'flyers of hookers' chased by casino workers and was destroyed at the airport by Ruben and one of the Mormon twins. the movie does not tell where the SWAT Team vehicle came from.

[@ShawnRavenfire]

Another good heist/scheme movie to check out is "The Sting" (1973).

[@JeffKelly03]

One of my favorite movies of all-time. Another good heist movie is Logan Lucky, made by the same director as Ocean’s and starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, and Daniel Craig. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s essentially Redneck Ocean’s Eleven. So good.

As a general term of parole, you aren't supposed to leave the area/state you are in. Danny went to the other side of the country.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Plus his crimes involved gambling/casinos in NJ, so casinos are verboten as part of his parole.

I think there are common prohibitions to gambling, meeting criminals and drinking alcohol too. Based on TV at least. With Benedict providing security feeds out of spite and having him surveilled, that's at least 2 out of the 3 right there as well.

I absolutely love this movie! It was only on maybe my fifth re-watch of it that I understood that Saul's initial difficulty when it was time to do his schtick wasn't him having a medical episode; it was him rehearsing. He's rehearsing throughout, perfecting his accent and speech, and this was the finishing touch, rehearsing his cardiac arrest. Great performance from Carl Reiner. Also, they got the SWAT vans because they bought a whole fleet of vans and painted them. That's what the scene with Frank crushing the car salesman's hand was all about. This is such an intelligent and well-written film. You could watch it a dozen times and still see important things you missed before.

So to answer a couple of questions you had: 1. Danny broke parole by leaving the state of New Jersey. When you hear him talking to his parole officer, he says, "No, sir, I wouldn't even dream of leaving the state." 2. They bought the SWAT van at the same time they bought the white van. They bought two vans, both white, and repainted one as a SWAT van. You see a brief clip of them painting the van.

[@lepton4]

the other clue about the Swat Van @awkwardashleigh is the green car air freshener. It is zoomed in on when they are cleaning it and then zoomed in again when they arrive as the Swat van.

This is a Remake from the 1960's movie "Oceans 11" featuring the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.)... Back when the Mob ran the Casinos, thieves would rather be caught by the Police than the Casinos... The Casinos could follow you where the Cops had to Stop (Like Countries that had no extradition). And Nevada had the reputation of being "the Largest unmarked Grave"... they could drive you into the hills and do whatever they wanted... and you'd never be found again.

"The Italian Job" (both versions, the old and the newer one) are great heist movies as well. Yet for me the really old classic "Topkapi" (1964) is still (slightly) beyond this one. But that may be nostalgia talking. So take it with a grain of salt.

"how does being in a casino violate his parole?" It's not being in a casino specifically that's the problem. One of the conditions of his parole is that he's not supposed to even leave the COUNTY. Instead, once he's out, he immediately leaves and goes to a different state. He violated his parole within the first 10 minutes of the film, but only pays for it at the end.

[@dnish6673]

Yes,though some paroles might include a casino ban.

[@legionaireb]

Just a heads up. This movie is actually a remake of a 1960 movie called 'Ocean's 11.' The general concept is the same, except the characters are former Army buddies rather than professional crooks. That movie was _also_ an ensemble piece with prominent rolls going to members of The Rat Pack, including Frank Sinatra as Daniel Ocean. 2:40 - That's Bernie Mac. He was a big comedian in the late 90s/early 2000s. He was one of the Original Kings of Comedy and appeared in many movies and his own sitcom. He passed in 2008 at the young age of 50. 3:09 - This scene is really fun because here we have Brad Pitt playing Rusty, but he's surrounded by half a dozen 'teen' stars of the day all playing fictionalized versions of themselves. 3:39 - No, 'all reds' is not a Flush. Here's a quick run-down of basic Poker. A deck has 4 suits (the shapes on the cards): Diamonds and Hearts (red) and Clubs and Spades (black). Each suit has 13 cards: in ascending order 2-10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace. Your goal is to make sets with a hand of 5 cards. The possible hands in ascending order of value are High Card, One Pair, Two Pair, Three of a Kind, a Straight (five cards in sequence, for example: 8,9,10,Jack, Queen), a Flush (all of one suit), a Full House (ToaK and a Pair), Four of a Kind, and the Royal Flush (a Flush with the top ranked cards, 10, J, Q, K, Ace).The skill in the game comes from knowing which cards to redraw and being able to read your opponents to guess how strong their hands are. 5:01 - You do, because they mean NOTHING. In context these are various 'cons' that they need to pull off, but in reality, Pitt and Clooney were just told to make up a bunch of names for this line. 7:29 - Don Cheadle. TOP class actor. He replaced Terrance Howard as Rhodie (War Machine) in Iron Man 2 and later. 8:13 - He's a guy who slips into tight spaces. 14:48 - Julia Roberts. 16:15 - That's the High Roller table, so the latter. 18:59 - British slang is largely based on rhyming. You take the word you want to say, think of a word that rhymes with it, then say a word associated with that rhyming word.

This is a terrific movie. I also really love the original with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin from the 1960s, but I appreciate that not as many folks would enjoy it due to not knowing who anyone is. LOL

[@jrepka01]

This film obviously owes a lot to the original. I remember seeing it back in the early 70s. I've watched it a few times since then -- it holds up pretty well, but it really drags in places. This remake, in my personal opinion, is much better than the original.

[@mikeonthebox]

The ending on that one is priceless.

[@jaxonrenick5536]

If you haven't seen the TV series "Leverage", I highly suggest considering it. It's like a mini Ocean's 11 every episode. Plus, one of the actors goes on to portray Hawkman in the DC movie Black Adam. ...and, just gotta say, watching your confusion then revelation throughout the movie was delightful. As always of course, but this is just one of those movies that expertly plays with the audience in all of the right ways. Happy New Year, Ashleigh!

"Barney Rubble. Trouble." It's Cockney rhyming slang. They don't want to say Trouble, so they say Barney Rubble, and then just say "Barney". It's essentially a secret code, because even if you know the person said "Barney" that doesn't equate to "trouble" and you'll be wondering what a purple dinosaur has to do with it.

[@mrbigbillyb8475]

I'm pretty sure Barney Rubble is referencing the character on the Flintstones, not destruction caused by a children's show character.

So happy you're watching the Ocean's movies. I watched all 3 in theaters and it was a blast. I wouldn't recommend Ocean's 8. This series is always referred to as a trilogy for a reason. Ocean's 8 has little to no relation to the trilogy. It was seen as a blatant lazy gender swap cash grab, much like Ghostbusters 2016. If you end at 13, you're left with an awesomely enjoyable trilogy that wraps everything up in a nice pretty bow.

Carl Reiner (Saul) is the father of Rob Reiner, director of some some modern classic movies such as This is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally..., Misery, The Princess Bride, and A Few Good Men.

[@CraigKostelecky]

Calling Carl Reiner merely the father of Rob is criminal. Carl is truly a legend in Hollywood. Some of the earliest comedies in TV were from him and Mel Brooks. Reiner also created the Dick Van Dyke show. He was a very accomplished director and writer as well.

[@HornlineOvertones]

Carl Reiner is Hollywood royalty all on his own. He worked with Sid Ceaser, Dick Van Dyke, Mel Brooks, on and on. In fact, he and Brooks were best friends until his death, practically roommates. And yes, his son made it big too.

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

@CraigKostelecky It's for context because she won't know anything else Carl Reiner has done.

[@davidwalter2002]

Let's give Carl Reiner his due. He wrote for Sid Caesar in the 1950s and created and wrote most of The Dick Van Dyke show, as well as directing a number of Steve Martin's films. Along with Neil Simon, Mel Brooks, and Larry Gelbart, Carl Reiner defined comedy in the latter half of the 20th Century, and will be influencing comedy forever.

I always remember Rob Reiner as Meathead on All In The Family.

[@N0-1_H3r3]

For other Heist, Con, and Caper content, I'll recommend a couple of TV series that manage to have this kind of thing every week: Leverage (and the sequel series Leverage: Redemption) is basically an Ocean's 11 meets Robin Hood series about a team of thieves who carry out heists and cons against the rich and powerful - corporations, corrupt politicians, organised crime, etc. - to help people who've been hurt in ways that the law can't fix. It ran for five seasons (with two more in the sequel show, and a third on the way), and it's a light, fun, and deeply-satisfying show. The other is the BBC series Hustle, which is similar - a group of con artists carry out long cons against rich and corrupt people (because "you can't con an honest man"). It ran for eight seasons, but it's British TV, so the seasons are only 6 episodes each.

It's a fun movie on the surface, but there's so much nuance to the comedy and coolness that I never get tired of it! It also always gets me seeing Matt Damon play such a newb in this (and Ocean's Twelve) when he was playing Jason Bourne only a year later, haha Another heist movie I never get tired of is How To Steal A Million, which I highly recommend! Others I haven't seen in years but remember fondly are The Real McCoy and 11 Harrowhouse. Hope to see more of the heist and suspense genres!

Loving that yer finally getting to this series; a perfect pairing! If you wanted to tack on another heist-ish flick to this series, you could add Out Of Sight, same director (Steven Soderbergh) as this trilogy, helped put his name on the map, and with Clooney and LJo. Way back when I used to work at one of those neighbourhood repertoire/second-run cinemas, once in a while they would play this as a matinee during the week. I kid you not, the entire audience were mom's and strollers! 😂😂😂

So glad you enjoyed this! This is a remake of a 1960 film of the same name starring an ensemble cast and five members of the Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop.

[@ElliotNesterman]

The two things I really like about the original are: first, that the heist is more realistic than the Mission Impossible-esque style that has become _de rigeur_ for caper movies these days; and second that the motivation for the heist is noble rather than simply greed/vengeance.
