Leave it to the Chairman of the Board to rope in a great director for the first Rat Pack movie, Ocean's Eleven. Lewis Milestone (All Quiet on the Western Front) did indeed direct this 1960 caper movie starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop; but the results now seem like more of a historical artefact than a good piece of entertainment. The tone of the film is curiously serious--much more so than Steven Soderbergh's fluffy 2002 remake--one somehow expected that the Rat Pack would have made a more buoyant first picture. But it is something to see these guys together, if only for reasons of nostalgia.--Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Yep,it's purely a vehicle for the Rat-Pack,a little drawn out,but if you're a fan of Sinatra and the boys,then this is a must.The new version has been described as slick and sexy,well,these guys CREATED the mould.Filmed in the days when men were men,and the stars weren't film actors but true movie stars (there's a difference),this film oozes class and style which was not manufactured or created to do so.Sure,it's not p.c,slightly chauvanistic,and the plot is lacking slightly,but just sit back and watch the guys do what they do best naturally.For me,one of the film's highlights is Dean Martin crooning 'aint that a kick in the head'.

This is a great film. I enjoyed the remake but this is a so much better film. The Rat pack at their best. The acting was easy for them all since they seemingly just played themselves. So obvious they enjoyed filming with each other. I would recommend buying this film to anyone.
Format:DVD
A simple twist on a daring robbery that has a good light hearted element. A group of ex army pals get together to rip off several casinos. A vehicle for the Rat Pack, but who cares - ? It was a great film - with a nifty twist right at the end. Far superior to the George Clooney remake which was just too smart for its own good.

Ocean's 11
Watched the 2001 Ocean's 11 and loved it. I've been meaning to buy and watch the original for ages and very glad I did.

OCEANS ELEVEN (dvd) - The original
This is a classic. I enjoy watching this one from 1960 as much as I enjoy watching the more modern one with George Clooney.

I hate to admit it but the remake is much better
It has its moments, but overall it is lousy. It also lacks coherence - the pace is uneven and the plot seems rather accidental.

I wish I could give it 5.
If any movie deserves 5 stars it's this one but it just doesn't reach it. A Very good film with a good cast but the newer version just has the edge on it. Read more
