Two that come to my mind are Thomas Crown Affair, about art theft.  And
my particular favorite, The Great Muppet Caper, where Kermit et al break
into a museum to steal the famed Baseball Diamond.

I know you didn't ask about TV, but I find the portrayal of Ross's
museum coworkers in Friends to be both completely dead-on and way off
the mark at the same time.

I'm teaching an "Introduction to Museum Studies" course next year.  I
plan to
examine popular images of museums by having students read novels and/or
watch
films that are about, or set in, museums.  Any suggested titles?

Thanks!
