I'm going to be pedantic now because of your Easy Rider claims.

Kelly and co were not after money. It was a cache of gold bars. There's a difference. As far as i know you couldn't go into Tesco and pay for your baked beans with a gold bar.

Ditto The Italian Job.

Kelly had to rob a vault in a town housing a Panzer division.

Trebor probably buys his gold bars at a charity shop for 50p each.

Thanks to everyone who contributed a list of their favourite films about business and money. I couldn't really think of a new topic for this week but it struck me last night, while watching the sixth episode of The Prisoner, that we haven't had a week devoted to films set in prison.

This would include the Women in Prison subgenre, so feel free to do a separate list of your favourite WIP films, and possibly even those in prisoner of war camp, but try and limit those to where the films are mostly set within the prison camp and not war films which happen to include some scenes involving prisoners of war.

PRISON FILMS
