Top Ten Diamond Heist Movies
Pilfering diamonds is a great way to make a buck. Think about it: in order to snatch a significant amount of loot, by robbing a bank for instance, you need a lot of people carrying a lot of bags. Cash is really bulky, and gold is just too darn heavy. Diamonds on the other hand, are incredibly compact and relatively lightweight. Just a handful of the right ones could yield somewhere in the 7 figure range. As a result, a lot of people have attempted (and gotten away with) stealing diamonds; for instance the $136 Million in such stones stolen from The Carlton Hotel in Cannes last year. Hence, anything that people do in real life that is both cool and illegal, a movie gets made about it. Here are the top ten best Diamond Heist flicks of all time.
