Why do they keep making heist movies?

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 2018)

Cold War movies. Heist movies. So many things have dated and the machine keeps producing them. I would get it if the script had something new to say, but this is yet another B movie script of the '70s.
And yea, for a heist one needs the flashiest ride possible. In case the cops can't notice it, to have the passers by come check it out. It also makes a lot of sense with the road blocks, so their could be easier to spot in traffic.
