Additional time at home and the movie industry largely put on hold can lead us back to watching flicks considered oldies but goldies. This was the exact case with Ocean’s 11 and not the Clooney-Pitt remake, but the original film.
Directed by Lewis Milestone and featuring several huge stars back in 1960 all but inspired the Ocean’s film series. It itself was a big hit back in the day. On a trivia note, George Clooney was not even born when Frank Sinatra introduced the character of Danny Ocean.
The two-hour classic film centered on the attempt to rob multiple Las Vegas casinos on New Year’s Eve is well worth your time, even for a replay. Our take with 2021 knocking on the door casts NBA players and – since this is Eurohoops after all – a European gang for the next remake. Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Dirk Nowitzki are all part of our suggestions and will also be going through plot twists similar to the original movie.
