A hectic heist is no excuse for tepid tunes. Take it from director Edgar Wright, who should know – his new thriller Baby Driver is so impeccably soundtracked that it almost feels like a musical.

Now Wright has teamed up with Alamo Drafthouse to put together a list of the five best heist songs of all time – "music to rob banks by," in his words. Check out the video above, featuring Reservoir Dogs, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and more.

And after that, scroll down to see his list of the five best (cinematic) car crashes of all time, from Casino Royale to The Road Warrior.

This, too, is another area where Wright has some expertise. Baby Driver is all about practical stunts, and it's no exaggeration to say it's got some of the best car action since Mad Max: Fury Road. Basically, if you love 1) crazy vehicular maneuvers, 2) toe-tapping music, or 3) all of the above, this movie will be one for you.

Baby Driver opens Wednesday, June 28. If you'd like to see it at your local Drafthouse, tickets are available now.
