1998 Directed by Steven Soderbergh

Clooney and Lopez at their hottest and most confident, Soderbergh flexing all his favorite muscles, criminals being brought down by their own overconfidence, ego, and lust, and a host of normal 1998 casting decisions that have aged like wine into "Holy shit, they're in this??" moments. What's not to love! One of the (if not definitely the) sexiest crime movies ever made. Love that Clooney spent 1998 to 2001 just playing the full range of confident criminal dorks getting out of prison.
When they showed a Detroit montage upon entering Detroit, I excitedly and unironically pointed to something and said “oh, that’s from Detroiters.”
"they put a gun on you, you still have a choice."
damn remember when pop movies were allowed to be funny and sexy.
"Is this your first time being robbed?"
Visually striking and artistically creative editing style, replete with match cuts, freeze frames, and a truly show-stopping cross-cut sexual fantasy (it's no wonder to find Lawrence of Arabia's Anne V. Coates in the editing room). Massive ensemble expertly directed to bring to life a cast of strong characters with a smart, funny script. Smooth bass line, funky slide guitar and groovy keyboards running through a characteristically jazzy soundtrack. Out of Sight is a surprisingly lovely gem from a truly great director. One of Soderbergh's best.

They built the UCB to teach guys who majored in English how to act like Steve Zahn and they tore it down because nobody but Zahn can do that.
if this movie was as sexy as its sexiest scene, it would be the sexiest movie ever made
All those breakthroughs in science over the last two decades yet this is where chemistry peaked.

There is a scene missing from this movie. I don't know what it is, or should be, but I can acutely feel its absence. It would take place between "Gary" and "Celeste" (Best Scene, 1998 Skandies; was suddenly overpowering for me this time, as in tears flowing) and the Ripley break-in, and would complicate or undermine the romance in some way. As it is, that relationship is just too neat: They meet cute; they flirt from afar and when briefly crossing paths; the consummation finally happens in simultaneous flash-forward; and then it's straight to the finale and the showdown, with no time for apprehension or regret apart from some pillow talk (which is too…
Fuuuuuuuuuck it’s so good. Electric. Every scene is alive. The editorial! The work of master craftspeople at the peak of their storytelling powers.
