    This.

    One of my all time favourite movies.

    Well, doesn't really have "heist planning" per se.... But it's really good.

    Try The Thieves, another Korean heist movie. If you found the one featuring a team and a woman who's a cat burglar, you're on the right track.

    The Great Train Robbery (1979), it's about a master criminal that makes elaborate plan to steal gold from a moving train.

    A few more recommendations:

    The Bank Job - based on a true story, kinda.

    Maverick - Silly and light-hearted western cons

    National Treasure - Nicholas Cage at his finest. Sequel wasn't too great.

    Have you watched the original 1960 'Ocean's 11'? It's brilliant. 'Kelly's Heroes' also fits, it's about an heist during WW2.

    And while they don't really steal anything per se but 'Road to Bali' is about a couple of guys trying to lie their why out of trouble (but get into worse trouble.) They basically lie about who they are for a good majority of the movie... Isn't that pretty much a conman? It's really funny.

    A Fish Called Wanda is also quite hilarious, excellent movie right there. Heat is pretty good as well but more of the drama heist.

    Hello :3
    If you're ok with chinese drama you can watch 'Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei'. There are probably subs for it. I felt like it was Leverage but in ancient china setting.

    Apparently it's also called Vigilantes in Masks.

    I was once watching the original Ocean's 11 but was unable to finish it at the time. I'll have to watch that again.
    I'll have a look for this thanks~

    While I was at work, I thought of another one; 'The Usual Suspects'. To explain it, is to ruin it. I think it's safe to say it fits your criteria.
