None of us could overcome the Hangover of this amazing Spanish Heist Crime Drama. Since the season 4 of Money Heist (La casa de papel) is already here and we have binge watched the shit out of it, here are a few movies and TV shows recommendation to stop your craving for time being.

Proffesors gone rogue seems to be the link that makes these two shows very similar. No, there would be no robberies in the show but definitely Drug cartels, Drug busts and whole lot of meth. Breaking Bad is considered as one the best shows ever. This series by Vince Gilligan is pure gem. Although the series is a little slow, once it hooks its viewer it doesn't let go.
Prison Break
'A mastermind plan and a mastermind behind it' sounds similar, well that's what this mind-blowing show has got in common with Money Heist. You can probably guess what's gonna happen in the show by reading the title of the show itself. It's about the love between two brothers and Breaking from a Prison (duh). It also happens to be one of the greatest TV shows of all time.
Ocean's Triology

The Ocean's Triology is considered to be one of greatest heist movies ever. With amazing performances from actors like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck and Julia Roberts this triology sure is a must watch. The robberies in these movies are effing badass.
Conclusion :- Steven Soderbergh has created the most enjoyable heist triology ever.
Baby Driver

One of the most well edited, insanely well directed and extremely enjoyable flick of our time. Director/Writer Edgar Wright has created a masterpiece which is to be adored for ages. It is a thriler/heist/musical/action movie. It has amazing action sequences and some of the best chase sequences of all time. Besides that the film contains a lot of hidden meanings and Easter eggs. With an amazing cast consisting of Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hanm, Jon Bernthal, Lily James, Jamie Foxx and Eiza Gonzalez, Baby Driver is a must watch. Also, it has one of greatest soundtrack of all time.
American Animals
- American Animals is a crime/heist/docudrama written and directed by Bart Layton. Based on a true story about a library heist at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky in 2004, this flick is an underrated gem. Adding more about the movie would be spoiling it, so I rest my case by just recommending this amazing flick.
Logan Lucky

Yet another Steven Soderbergh flick on the list. Logan Lucky is a perfectly crafted heist comedy drama. This movie is a must watch for heist movie fans. With a stunning cast onboard Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Daniel Craig, Sebastian Stan and Hilary Swank, this film is ridiculously entertaining. This movie's script written by Rebecca Blunt

forced Steven Soderbergh out of a self-imposed retirement from directing films. This film is extremely well directed and well shot. Daniel Craig and Adam Driver steal the show.
Special 26

Alright I admit recommending a bollywood flick in the mid is not a cool move, but trust me this flick deserves to be here. The reason we love Money Heist is not only coz of the way they perform the heist but also coz they have a much greater purpose behind the heist. Here's where this movie meets some similarities with Money Heist. This is one of the best movies directed by Neeraj Pandey. Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher have done a great job in this flick. With a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 86% , this movie is a must watch if you haven't checked it out already.
Fast Five
A family that pulls a heist together stays together. Nothing too similar with Money Heist, this Fast & Furious installment has one of the most fan favourite heist of all time. You've probably seen this flick but it just so deserved to be on the list (in case).
Now You See Me

| A scene from NYSM (2013) |
The Robin Hood factor is the thing that brought this movie into the list. The story according to Netflix, "A troupe of brainy illusionists specialize in stealing from banks and giving the cash to their audiences, all while outwitting a team of FBI agents." With an amazing cast consisting of Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Isla Fisher and Michael Caine and also a sequel to it, Now You See Me is a movie that everyone should watch. Also the heist pulled in this one are extremely pleasurable to watch but also impossible.
Hell or High Water

This Oscar nominated western heist crime drama is delightful and engaging. A part of Money Heist has always been about rebelling and protesting against the system of governance and that's one of the major aspects of the show which has made it popular among the masses. With the theme of the movie being similar to this aspect of show, this gritty western heist movie is a must watch. This movie is loaded with brilliant performances from Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster. Blessed with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 97%, this is one of the most under the radar movies.
Next up on the list,

Last one in the list, coz it is not much of a Heist movie as it is thriller/crime movie. It is a biographical crime drama based on the life of Frank Abagnale. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest movies of all time. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, this movie is a must watch. You will be unmatchably entertained by watching the story of a scammer who not only forges cheques, but also lives.
