THE LADYKILLERS
A dark comedy, The Ladykillers (2004; R) stars Tom Hanks as a professor who has concocted a plan to rob a bank. He has sent out invitations to a variety of ne'er-do-wells he knows so they can help him in his scheme.
We see him taking a room at a boarding house, where he comes up with the ruse of telling the landlady his friends are musicians so he can use the basement for rehearsals. He also asks that they not be disturbed while they are practicing. He puts on loud music to muffle the sounds of them digging a tunnel that will reach to the bank basement.
At every turn, the landlady seems to almost discover what's going on. She, being very churchy, has friends over for tea and other home events, which makes concealing what they are doing ever more difficult. The professor soon decides he needs to do away with the busybody but wants one of his group to actually do the deed.
I'll let you watch it for yourself to learn what happens to the thugs and what happens to the landlady!

Hahaha, seen the movie... It was indeed clever... and just the thought that the actual bank is just across the street. It's like they were having some party favor ideas on their basement while digging up the tunnel
