All Time Great Movies: Ocean's Eleven

There is no doubt in denying that Ocean's Eleven is at least in the top ten of everyone's movie choices. The real question is what factors in this movie make it one of the best films of all time...
The Cast:
Names such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Bernie Mac and Julia Roberts are just a few of many names that create one of best movie casts of all time. We are all used to seeing these perinneal actors and actresses in major movie roles. Seeing all these actors and actresees in one big movie is not only exciting, but also creates a different environment.
The Scenery:
Las Vegas is a place that undeniable actracts all audiences: men, women and children. Ocean's Eleven takes place on the strip and in one of the most profound hotels in the city. Its the one place, arguably in the world, where anything can happen. Ocean's Eleven challenges this principle.
The Plot:
Normally, movies go under one specific category for genre. For example, the movie could be either a comedy, action-adventure or scary. It is nearly impossible to put Ocean's Eleven into one category because it falls into comedy, action-adventure, thriller etc. This movie attempts to define the impossible: robbing a vault in one of the most highly protected casinos in the world.
End Note:
The success of this movie is based off of these factors but also because no one else had made a movie even remotely close to this one. It was unique. This movie was such a success that it was capable of producing two sequels.
