More good 'team heist' films?

I am looking for more films like this, other than ocean's eleven, where a team was working together, then split up for some reason, and THEN gets back together for a "one last job" type of thing.

I have yet to see the original, but the re-make of the Italian job would be a good one if you haven't seen it.

Gone in Sixty Seconds
The Italian Job
Swordfish
Ocean's 11
Ocean's 12
Snatch (can't remember if that was a team caper)
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (see Snatch partentheses)

De Niro stars in these three:

Heat
The Score (just a two man heist with ed norton who was also in italian job)
Jackie Brown

if you get the chance, I also enjoyed a little film called Foolproof. i thought it was pretty good.

Was Foolproof the one with Ryan Reynolds?

there is an original "Gone in 60 Seconds" also...where they also used a GT500...named Eleanor

and a second gone in sixty seconds also by h.b. halicki. The one that he died in the making of.

Movies take up 1/3 of my life. The other two parts are xbox and television.

Confidence and Heist are great. Also other good stealing movies are After the Sunset, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Entrapment.

Heist is pretty good.

Give 'Takers' a go. I enjoyed anyway. A cool heist film where you don't have to overthink too much.

"The Great Train Robbery" is an excellent heist film that always gets overlooked.

This isn’t the answer you were looking for…but you asked for a specific story arc where a team steals, splits and then gets back together for another round of heists or heist. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had that same story arc and is a classic film. They were a band of outlaws who tried to go legit but couldn’t make it. So then went back to being outlaws. However, it would be considered more of a cowboy western than a heist movie. Still good, and you should check it out if you haven’t already.

The Bank Job (with Jason Statham) is quite a good watch.

Besides what was already mentioned,

Ronin(1998) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122690/

And another John Frankenheimer film;

The Train(1964) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059825/

Its a WWII film, but the ultimate goal is basically a heist. They need to steal priceless art being transported by Nazis on a train.
