Ocean's Eleven

About This Movie

Lewis Milestone's 1960 'Ocean's Eleven' has this laid-back vibe that really sets it apart. You’ve got Sinatra, Davis Jr., and the whole Rat Pack just having a blast while plotting a heist. It’s a mix of crime and comedy that breezes along at a nice pace, letting the characters breathe without rushing the plot. The film captures that early Vegas charm and has a certain charm in its practical effects—no CGI here, just good old-fashioned heist antics. The chemistry among the cast is palpable, and they seem to be having fun, which makes it easy to enjoy. Plus, the jazzy score adds to that lounge atmosphere that still feels fresh.

Original release: 1960, running time: 127 minutes · Filmed on location in Las Vegas, capturing iconic casinos · Notable for its ensemble cast of Rat Pack members · Remade in 2001 with a contemporary twist
